virtualdub help

i'm trying to put a movies that is out of sync with virtual dub. when i add the file to virtualdub, i get a message saying that avi:viriable bitrate(vbr) audio detected. what do i do and what does this means. help please

 

The message is saying that files with VBR audio may cause problems - but you already knew that with this file.
You can save the audio as a .wav, reload it into VirtualDub and convert it to CBR - then try to fix the sync problem.
What is the nature of the problem and how were you going to correct it.

 

ok i'm lost, how do i save the audio as a .wav, and how do i convert it to cbr(what does that mean.

 

hey was looking through the forum and found out about avidemux, will that help me with my sync problem. is there a guide for virtualdub and avidemux. please help i'm trying to get pass this out of sync problem.the voice is either a second behind or a second ahead the actual picture. helppp

 

If you have (or download) 'VLC' player, you can run your video and check/adjust the sync using Ctrl-k or Ctrl-l The value will be flashed onto the screen so you can make a note (either positive or negative).


Drag the file onto Avidemux.
Check the 'Shift' box and enter the value that you get from'VLC'.
Click the 'Save' logo and give the file a new name (including extension e.g. myfile.avi).

thanks for the info, i downloaded vlc and when i try to check for the audio sync with ctrl-k or ctrl-l(like ctrl-k a number flashes but as i hold or keep pressing it the numbers goes up) i'm i doing something wrong.

 

Press the keys once and check the sync.
Change the value until the audio/video is playing in sync then transfer that last number to Avidemux.

 

i don't mean to bother you so much, but when i do the ctrl k a number popa up(audio deley 50ms).but if you hit ctrlk again the numbers goes up in 50's, what is the final number. and do i check at the begining or the end of the movie, and how do i change the value. please bare with me i'm kinda new.

 

Assuming the audio is late, you press Ctrl-k once and observe the sync.
Keep pressing until the audio/video are in sync.
An example would be if you think the audio is half a second late (500 milli-seconds) press Ctrl-k to get it up to 500, then adjust either way Ctrl-l or Ctrl-k until you are satisfied.

If your audio was leading the video, you use Ctrl-l to insert negative values - and transfer that negative value to Avidemux.

A 'normal' delay might be one second (1000 milli-seconds)anything more either way (leading or lagging) would indicate serious problems that no amount of tinkering will fix.

 

everything is going smooth but evertime i try to use crtl-l the platlist pops up, is there another way to make it go negitive

 

What's a platlist?

You are using Ctrl-l (Ctrl -"ell")?

 

Try just running the original AVI trough this:

And just Generate then Save it.

If you see this (bad in audio description), after Generate, there is a problem. The New AVI will also have set the 'delay' to zero.
