Audio And Video Out Of Sync

Post by Doin »

I recently watched the DVDs I have ripped with my video capture card.

While the audio and video are in sync on the mpeg files, once they are ripped to DVD, everything goes out of sync.

I used Roxio DVD Builder to create the DVDs.

The only DVD that this didn't happen with was a 45 minute show. Is it possible that I am trying to fit too much onto a DVD and that is why it is fucking up?

VideoReDo Run the File through it and when you author it to dvd it should be in sync.

Thanks for that.

Unfortunately the trial version of the program cuts your video files down to 30 minutes so I can't even tell if it will work once burnt to DVD.

Are there any other programs I could use, or should I just rip the video into smaller files?

[EDIT]
On further reading it appears that audio sync is a common problem with Roxio Easy DVD Builder 7.

Should I be ripping videos straight to AVI first and then converting them to mpeg or should I rip straight to mpeg?

Well if you are not going to do any editing to video then straight to mpgeg.

I suggest getting another authoring program.

I don't do any editing. No need to. I think want my VHS on DVD.

I read that with Roxio DVD Builder there is a problem with syncing if the files are too large. I also noticed that it says in the program itself that DVDs can hold about 60 minutes in high quality.

But what is High Quality? If taken from DV or HDTV then it's.

I only rip from VHS but I use the highest quality mpeg. Not sure if that makes a difference.

I think the solution may lie in making the video clips shorter and breaking a show up over several DVDs.
