I am converting 8mm cine film to dvd. I have purchased equipment from the USA that uses frame by frame scanning, join all the frames together and add frames to adjust the speed to 25 fps for Pal,then use MF4 to compile the DVD. All ok till now when I have been given some super 8 with sound. I can record sound track from a sound projector. I can add the audio to the avi file in MF4 but has anyone any idea how to get the lip sync correct. If I get it correct at the begining of the film is there a ULead program that I can use to stretch or shrink the audio file to match the film.
Regards

I use VideoStudio 9 which has a playback speed setting, is there one in MF4? - if not download the 30 day trial of VS9 - this would be a good project to test it out.
Haven't tried this myself but if I was faced with this problem I would try:
1. Place the audio on the audio timeline and note the exact length.
2. Place the video on the video time line. Select the playback speed setting and adjust it so that the length of the video is the same as the length of the audio.
Obviously this will only work if the start of the video and the start of the audio are both in synch to begin with. If not try cropping the start of one until they are both in synch at the beggining.
You will probably have to zoom in to single frame level to check that both end points are together.

Sound sync
HI
Many thanks I will try that. I am trying to find a way of getting the beginning video and sound in sync to start with. I suppose it will be trial and error. On films they use the sound of the clapped board to sync it.
