Well It wouldn"t be the authoring that Makes it go out of sync But probably the Trimming that is Doing it...You should get a Frame accurate Mpeg editor..When useing TMPGEnc to edit it will allways Make the Cut on an I Frame But if you set it to Cut on a Non I Frame it will Cut the Audio there but it will Jump to the Closest I Frame in the Video there for causeing Sync Problems...The editor I use is Mpeg2VCR which works great for this type of stuff...

Can someone lend some advice. I capture 2hrs of 8mm using pvr with dvd NTSC presets and all works fine. I use TMPGEnc dvd to author a dvd and the file is too large for a disc. So I author it to my hard drive. Then I use dvdshrinks to shrink it to disc size. Burns fine. I then play the burned dvd and the sound is out of sync. I went back to my original captured file and the sound is fine. How do I prevent out of sync problems from the authoring process. Thanks.

Yo Minion,
I've got hold of the Mpeg2VCR already and looks like there are 41 pages of pdf manual to read. I was wondering that what you mean is that I will do the trimming with Mpeg2VCR and the video and audio will trim together without synchro problem like TMPGEnc Plus or do I need to do some special settings?
Hey guys, have anyone try the S3/hibernate function yet? I changed my Abit NF7-S power management settings to S3 and wakeup by PME# PCI, after scheduling the TV recording, I put PC to Standby mode which is kind of different from before (fans stop and more like hibernate) but when it wakes up for recording, a very loud alarm trigerred and it sounds like coming from my Harddisk. The only way to stop the alarm is to restart the PC again. Can anyone advise me on what did I do wrong?

Well You don"t really need to read a 42 page manual to learn how to use Mpeg2VCR...It is a Pretty Basic Editor and you can figure out how to Trim and Join files together in Probably a half hour and yes it can join your Files together and Trim them without sync Problems unless the Sync Problem is allready there, it also has a Feature were you Can advance the Audio or Video so you can try to fix Sync Problems and also has a Feature that can Fix errors in Mpeg files...If there is something specific you want me to explain then let me know.....Cheers
PS: That Alarm sound I believe is comeing from your Motherboard which Either has a Small Speaker Built on to it or has a Connection going to your Case Speaker, Why don"t you Just undo what you did in the Bios Power Management setup? Cheers

Yo guys, I've downloaded the latest Leadtek WinFast TV2000XP Expert drivers and they are GREAT! A must have if you want to set PC to hibernate (S3) mode and will wake up to do TV recording and hibernates again after that. Finally everything is alright and fully functioning for me now. Superb MAN!

Hello Minion,
I tird using the Mpeg2VCR for trimming of commercials for recorded TV programme in Mpeg2 but I still end up having video/audio synchronization problem. Just to confirm, what I need to do is click on new and select mpeg2 that I am going to trim and start marking in and out than cut right? After cutting all the commercials from the original Mpeg2, I will just click on save and that should be it right? Well I tird doing playback on the newly edited mpeg2 in PowerDVD and the synchron goes out after the 1st trim but the original recorded mpeg2 was fine. Is there anything that I forgot to select in Mpeg2VCR?

Well I don"t know why it would do that unless it was allready out of Sync before editing...With Some Mpeg Capture programs and with Most Satalite Cards when they are captureing and they Drop Video or audio Frames they will fill in the Missing Frame with Empty Data so that it keeps Sync but when the File is edited and Remuxed the Empty Data gets removed and the file looses sync....Well if you Loose Sync When useing Mpeg2VCR then there is no editor that will be able to edit the file without it looseing sync as Mpeg2VCR is Probably one of the Best Frame accurate Mpeg editors available...Maybe Try a Different Capture Program??? Well good luck

Yo Minion, While I'm waiting for a reply from Leadtek support, I tried doing trimming with DVD Shrink's re-author function and it works. I am able to trim off the commercials without video/audio sunchronization out. Strange....

I just upgraded to the Expert card from the Deluxe, and so far I'm just pleased, not entirely happy.
Yeah, the PVR software isn't that great. Functionally it's solid, but the interface is too playskool and unprofessional. The drivers are the biggest problem. With the newest drivers, my image quality is quite rough, and third party apps have terrible TV pictures (WinDVR 3.0 support is broken with the latest drivers, too).
I'm now using the Sep 2003 drivers, which seem to work well. WinDVR works again, though the stereo sound doesn't work.
Once the drivers are fixed up and tested properly (by Leadtek, NOT the unsuspecting public), I would definitely recommend the Expert card.

I just got the Expert card in a new system and the absence of audio when using a vcr was driving me nuts. I tried everything and finally found this Forum...and the answer (Selecting Aux). THANK YOU.
I'll be reading the threads here to learn more.

I have Talked to 2 other Poeple in the last couple days with this problem useing the Leadtech capture software and all of these Poeples sync problems were solved when they use a different capture Program Like WinDVR 3.0 to capture instead......

Yup, InterVideo WinDVR 3.0 definitely is a much better capturing program. My last complaint to Leadtek was to have my TV Tuner to wakeup on time to do recordings and hibernate (S3 mode) upon finishing and keep going for daily, weekly recordings as well.
Honestly, I'll be replacing my VCR's recording task with the Leadtek TV Tuner if the "hibernate" stuff is successful. Anyway, I've just download the latest Leadtek PVR and will be putting a couple of test on it for the next few days to see if it wakes my PC from hibernate mode to do recordings correctly (e.g set 10 schedule recordings for 2 days and PC must hibernate after each recording and able to wakeup on time for the next one)

Finally got mine to work. In the process here is what I found out, just in case it might help someone else.
WinFast TV2000 XP Expert internal card.
Burned on the card itself ?PCB ver. C?
and ?Assembly ver. B?
Creative Audigy 2 Platinum sound card
1. Connect the internal sound wire from the TV card to the ?aux in? on the sound card.
2. Install these files from the Leadtec site:
First - MMCD 3.6 5.13.1.380.1 2004/2/12
then - MMCD 3.6 (PVR 3.0.9.40 & FM 1.64 2004/2/12
3. Open Winfast PVR
The ?Audio-Out Control Line? is ?CD Audio? source.
The ?Audio Recording Line? is the ?Analog Mx (Line/CD/Aux/TAD/PC)?.
Thanks to all you guys for the encouragement...

Oh! Creative Audigy just the same as a friend of mine that took a while to figure it out but I was told that the volume control in the PVR will be slightly different as having it on CD-in

Hey guys...
Just to deviate the discussion, I have a problem with my Winfast 2000 XP Expert card where, on live TV mode, it writes an image file to a temp folder every five seconds. This disturbs the image slightly when the drive is being written. It does this on normal, good or optimal quality. I'm running a Pentium III 450 with a 32 Meg Nvidea card so the rig should be fast enough for the card.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Is this while Just watching TV or when recording TV??
Because your PC is far too slow to record TV with any sort of Quality..You can easilly upgrade your PC to a faster 2.0ghz+ for about $150....

No, Its only when wathing live TV. I can actually record OK on MPEG1 (although I can?t watch live TV while this is happening, which is only to be expected)and playback of that is fine. The minimum system requirements for the card is stated as Pentium II 300, so I figured live TV should be a breeze. I also can?t get Winfast express to launch (don?t know what it does but it is in the program list with the other launchers).

Hello there, I suggest that you change for preview settings from Optimal to Normal by doing a right click with your mouse cursor on the screen. Hope that solve your problem. Cheers

I just bought one of these (Winfast TV 2000 XP)
For an unknown reason, it appears to have arrived with no Audio driver on the installation CD.
I have been to the Leadtek website and can't find an audio driver there either! I can't believe this!
Has anyone had similar problems? Anyone know how I can get this driver?
Thanks in advance.

Hello JSame, I doubt it has anything to do with missing audio drivers if you remember that there were 3 drivers during installation. I would suggest that you check if the audio cable is plug in the correct direction.
