TMPGec audio doesn't line up correctly with video

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Video CD : One Thread

ANYONE KNOW WHY I GET SYNCHRONIZATION PROBLEMS WITH TMPGENC. WHEN I ENCODE AVI'S TO MPEG1 FOR REGULAR VCD, THE AUDIO DOESN'T MATCH THE VIDEO. IT'S A SHORT CARTOON I RECORDED ON VHS. I HAVE A COMPAQ AMD 500, 184 RAM 8 MEGS VIDEO MEMORY. USING ATI'S TV WONDER VE (VALUE EDITION). THE CARD WORKS FINE, WAY BETTER THAN EXPECTED. IT'S JUST THE ENCODING I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH. SO I'M USING AVI2VCD RIGHT NOW. BUT I PREFER TMPGENC BECAUSE THE ANIMATION LOOKS SMOTHER.

Hi Daniel, Just read your post. You don't say what if anything you did with audio.I am fairly new at this and use virtual dub, tmpgec, and vcd for making vcds out of movies i download on net. These are all free programs, except for recently tmpge. I start using virtual dub and select open video file. Then click audio, full processing mode, click audio, click conversion, select 44100, then ok, then audio, click compression, click no compression, click ok. select file, click save wav. This will make a big wav file. Open tmpge, click browse ,select video file, click browse, select audio file which is wav file you just made in virtual dub. hit start and you are on your way. ( i assume you know to select pal or ntsc format and also when you hit settings, advanced set your start and finish frames. This will put your audio in sync with picture

SYNCHRONIZATION PROBLEMS Responding to your audio q. when i import my video i use a composite conection (video..yellow /audio..white and red) I record both video and audio at the same time into an AVI. then i use TMPgenc or AVI2VCD to convert to mpg both video and audio at the same time. with TMP i get audio problems, lag. With AVI2VCD everything is ok. i record audio at 44.k 16 bot stereo. the end result with AVI2VCD is great on my DVD player.

I WROTE THE QUESTION AT THE TOP AND THE ADDITIONAL COMMENT ABOVE ABOUT AUDIO (STEVE). JUST CLARIFYING THIS...

-- DANIEL BONI (BONL1@CS.COM), April 24, 2002.

choose another player.

i've noted that some of the players will unsync a good mpeg2 stream. so the problem may not be with tmpgenc.

i have copied dvd2svcd's approach and use tmpgenc to code the video and bbmpeg to multiplex the audio and video streams...much fewer headaches.

I use tmpgnc and it works fine for vcds and svcds the audio lines up perfect with the video so i dont know why you guys are having a problem the company or person that designed the program is a geniuos//

I started using TMPEnc today and I am also having synch problems, but ony with one mpg file, not the other 3 that I'm using it with, the rest all work fine, I'm just trying to use it to join them all together, but for the entire duration of the first file the sound is about 1 0r 2 seconds off
