DVD sound and video out of synch

HELP!?!?!

I finally got Ulead to stop freezing when I went to burn a DVD. The end product played on a DVD player has video that flickers, and the sound is about 45 seconds ahead of the picture after the first minute. The voices occasionally slow down to a growl and the whole then onyl comes in synch again in the last 30 seconds.

I have followed all the direction I could find on this board. Can anybody help me?

Thanks

Download the burning pack from Ulead's website:

Turn off any running apps and remove unnecessary external devices before burning. Try lowering your burn speed; the disc might not handle high burning speeds. You could try using a RW disc as a test disc (saves you from making messed up discs that end up as coasters

), this way, you can just erase the disc and try again.

Thanks I will try that.

Many coasters at my house tonight.

Will the patch work even though I own VS7 and using free trial VS9?

Yeah, it'll work on your VS7, it won't work on the trial version though (you know how it is

).

Hi Inga

45 seconds out of sync is bad.

You are creating a few coasters and must be getting expensive.
Were you having problems with VS 7.?

If you Create a DVD Folder instead of burning a disc you should be able to play the finished video on your pc to test the quality.
This option makes a TS folder holding your video info in the form of Vob files
You can use Power Dvd, or Real Player to play these files, Checking the quality before burning another disc.

I do not think it has anything to do with the burner up dates.
I can only think that it is a capture problem. Dropped frames.

What is the specification of your computer, (right click My Computer on your desk top and select ‘System Information’ look at ‘memory’ ’processor’ ’hard discs’

We need a bit more information about the type of capture you are using.
What connection ( Firewire/I-Link, Composite, S-Video)
What capture card do you have ( I think you said you had a new one)

Was the faulty video captured using the old card.

What are the capture properties you used.

Yes very much

Were you having problems with VS 7.?
It was pretty unstable that is why I loaded up trial of VS9

If you Create a DVD Folder instead of burning a disc you should be able to play the finished video on your pc to test the quality.
I just did that and found where the whole thing starts to go off track. Didn't know I could do this. Duh.

What is the specification of your computer, (right click My Computer on your desk top and select ‘System Information’ look at ‘memory’ ’processor’ ’hard discs’

Computer: P4 2.5
RAM 768
Four partition hard drives at 50 gig each

We need a bit more information about the type of capture you are using.
What connection ( Firewire/I-Link, Composite, S-Video)
What capture card do you have ( I think you said you had a new one)

Captured most of it off VHS using ADS Tech Cap Wiz DVD express. Some ripped from commercial DVD.
Was the faulty video captured using the old card.
All VHS including faulty bits same card same method. Some works some doesn't.
What are the capture properties you used.
Not sure I understand the queston.

Another thing... every time I create a video file (.mpg) the sound and video come apart at a different spot.

Is there a setting or something that I could use when it is being rendered to make it all stick together better?

Don't laugh... I am just trying to make a darn Halloween invitation, and when it plays it is SO COOL. I just need to be able to get it onto a DVD in the next week or all this work is for nothing.

I think you have corrupt video files. The corruption is probably happening during capture. There could be a problem with your capture device or its driver.

Sometimes corrupted files will play-back fine, until they are re-coded & rendered to final DVD format. The rendering program can get really confused, or it may throw-away bad video-frames, while keeping the audio intact. The length of the video & audio tracks become different, and you get a sync problem.

If you can make a problem-free DVD from the (unedited) ripped files, then corruption is the problem. I assume that you have some (illegal?) software to remove copy protection from your commercial DVDs?

If you're capturing directly to MPEG, try capturing to AVI (assuming your capture device will allow it). MPEG encoding requires lots of computing power, and its better to do the MPEG conversion after the video is digitized so that CPU speed is not an issue.

Also, because MPEGs are not meant to be edited, simply editing them (transitions, etc) can corrupt them. I had this problem with VS8, I don't know if it's still an issue with VS9. You may need a special purpose MPEG editor.
