Choppy Audio resulted from Save Trimmed Video

[Stromile99]

After editing the original video by only shortening it, I tried saving trimmed video from the clip tap, the resulting audio became choppy. The original audio was fine. I want to save the trimmed video so that I can burn the trimmed video.

Can somebody help me please!

Thanks,

Stromile..

We have a problem at the outset. You say that the video started off as a VOB, but that Video Studio converted it to DV? I am not sure that is possible in one step. Normally, if you are importing VOB files from a DVD, they are converted by Video Studio into mpeg-2 format.

So please tell us something about how you imported the VOB.

We also need to know what version of Video Studio you are using.

And could you also right click on the converted file within the timeline and copy all its properties down here, please. I am particularly interested in what it has to say about the audio format.

Weird shtuff can sometimes happen when you edit MPEGs.

If you really have a DV (MiniDV) camera, you should be "capturing" to AVI-DV which is 13GB per hour. If you do all your editing in DV and encode to MPEG once as the last step before burning a DVD, your problems will probably go away!

On the other hand, if your Sony camera is a direct-to-DVD camera, you may need a special-purpose MPEG editor. I use Womble for MPEG editing. For simple "cut & splice" editing VideoReDo is a good low-cost option.

I'd use Video Studio to import the DVD to an MPEG file, edit with Womble, and then use Video Studio (or another Ulead program) to make the final DVD.
