Mentioning Out-of-sync in a post jinxed me!

Post by kebrinton »

I discovered an OOS problem in the MPEG-2 version of my 90-minute musical video when I had added about 18 seconds of introductory credits, with fade-out-and-in transitions between the three parts of that first short segment.

When I took the credits away, the MPEG played like the AVI that it was rendered from, perfectly.

I didn't know how to fix the OOS, so I rendered each segment (credits, then long video) separately, then "added video" twice when authoring. The final result was great.

Is that the standard workaround?

Keith,
IMHO, there is no standard workaround for OOS.

We just have a bag of tricks that "work sometimes." I have fixed two OOS projects by replacing the "virtual clips" that Multi-Trim Video control or the scissors makes with the real files that the Save Trimmed Video control makes. I think your approach is similar but you are joining the clips in the burn module whereas I joined them in the timeline.

However that technique did not work on another project. But that project was fixed by turning off Smart Render (recommended by Trevor Andrew) when making the project video file.

I also had a project go OOS by adding several complex transitions and when I replaced them with Crossfades, sync returned to perfect.

The situation is greatly complicated by Ulead having changed the contents of the 8.01 Patch at least three different times without changing the file name or the update designation. This means that we all could have different burning engine code depending on what date we downloaded the patch. See the last entry in http://phpbb.ulead.com.tw/EN/viewtopic. ... highlight= for a listing of my current burning engine dlls and their release designations.

Keith and John, take a look at the procedure I use involving the creation of a VIDEO_TS folder and ImgTool Classic. It has never failed to produce a perfectly sync'd DVD.

Creating the VIDEO_TS folder and post-processing it has two other benefits -- you can test your creation using your favorite DVD player software, and you can also easily reduce the size using DVD Shrink if the project doesn't fit onto a single DVD.
