I just backed up a DVD (DVD to VCD) using the guide, DVD Decrypt, DVD2AVI, TMPGenc and Nero. The quality is fine, and everything seemed to work great. When I played it back on my PC the audio track played in advance of the video, by about 5 seconds or so you hear the words before the actors mouth moved. Totally out of synch. Can anyone please tell me where to look to solve the problem. FYI, I used DVD2AVI, and used all of the setting set forth in the guide, except in the Audio, I selcted Decode to WAV. The rest was by the book.
I am having the same problem, I have no idea what is going on. My post "need help with vcd" has some ideas people have thrown out there but nothing has worked! They said somthing about Force Film option and not using the 44.1khz->48khz" setting. You might want to check it out and see if you can figure something out.
OK, I eliminated the 44.1 setting in DVD2AVI, and I selected force Film option, the audio is now off by even more than previously. Decent quality audio and decent quality video, just way out of sync. Can anyone please help? I would be happy to switch to another process if I need to, right now I am using the DVD Decypt, DVD2AVI, TMPGEnc, Nero process, but could use different products. The problem is so hard to fix on my own because of lack of experience and the fact that it takes 3-4 hours to see each time if the problem is fixed.
Like i said, I have no idea how to fix it either, but i do have a suggestion. When using the TMPGEnc wizard, at the end, it gives you the option to clip the MPEG. If you do this it will only convert the section you select. So, if you are experimenting you can select a small portion of the movie and it cuts down the time you have to wait by a ton. It works the same way the whole movie would but is only like 1 min. of the film. Just a suggestion...
I am having a similar problem, but my audio is slower than the video. It's like you see the actors mouths move and then a few seconds later you hear what they are saying. Would love a little help. Thanks
I don"t know what the Guide said But here are a Few Tips... When useing DVD2AVI make sure yout "Don"t" Select the "44.1khz<->48.0khz" Option under the audio settings... And if you are Makeing a VCD from a NTSC DVD make sure you select the "Forced Film" Option in DVD2AVI, the Option is under "Video" to "Field Operations"... And when you encode the D2V and Wav file in Tmpgenc make sure you choose the "NTSC Film VCD" Template... Hopefully this will Help....Cheers
hey minion, i tried your suggestions, but it didnt work. i sure thought they would, sorry. any new suggestions thanks dragon214
Same here, I tried it the way you suggested and still got about a 4 or 5 second delay in video and audio. Thanks for the suggestions though. The video looks great and the audio sounds great, but I just can't get them synchronized.
I guess it would depend on were the Problems is being created , If it is a Problem with DVD2AVI changeing the length of the Audio when decodeing to Wav then I would suggest is to useing the "Demux" Feature in DVD2AVI and Demux the audio to AC3 and then use a standalone encoder Like "Headac3he" to encode the AC3 to wav and then Load the wav and d2v file into Tmpgenc...But if the Problem is caused By Tmpgenc useing then useing a different encoder might solve the problem, If you decide to use a different encoder then the only one I would suggest is the MainConcept Encoder as it Produces simular Quality as Tmpgenc but is 3 times as fast, But it will not accept D2V files from DVD2AVI so you would have to Find another way of encodeing the File...If you want I can explain a method for useing D2V files with other Program that will usually not accept those types of files....Good Luck
