Audio and video out of sync.

[DrJohn666]

I am having a problem with the video and audio being out of sync when I create either an mpeg 2 or avi file. This only seems to happen when I try to create a file that is 1 to 1 1/2 hours in length, (out of sync. from beginning to end).

I am trying to edit out the commercials of a television show.

If I create a mpeg2 from a preview of 5 minutes of the program, the one segment seems to be fine.

I have tried a video data rate of variable 6000kps and constant 2000kps

I have also used a template of ntsc dvd. Audio and video are still out of sync.

Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks,
John

I am using MSP 7.0. I have a pentium4 3ghz 110gig hard drive (newly defrag'd) 512 meg memory, and a nvidia fx5200 video card with 128meg of memory.

MSP 7 was notorious for that. It was fixed with the update patch "Service Pack 3".

I would suggest to patch your version first and see what's happening. If that fails to address your problem, search this forum for 'OOS' or 'Out of Sync' posts. We tend to get a request like yours about 6 to 8 times a week.

PS. Just now I realised that you are running this on a MediaCenter OS. MSP7 is not supporting that. If all else fails, you may have to upgrade to MSP 8.

I will try serivce pack 3.
Before I posted the message, I searched on audio out of sync, and audio and video out of sync. but did not get any hits.
Thanks, I will let you know if I still have an issue.

When editing MPEG files recorded from my TV card I tend to use Womble which is a purpose built MPEG Editor. From this I create a DVD compliant MPEG2 file and then use one of my Ulead Authoring programs to create the DVD.

It looks like upgrading to sp3 fixed the sync issue.

Again, Thank You,
