I have two beautiful, perfectly synced tracks from a VHS tape. It was an 80 minute movie and I transfered it to my DV Camera using two tapes and then captured it to my hard drive with firewire.
The resultant AVI's play just as they should.
I tried to join the two track and bring it down to DVD5 using TMPGE Author 3 and the resulting sound in the movie was horribly out of sync.
I went ahead and then used TMPGE Express to make the files DivX, which was my end-intention to begin with. This movie also came out the same... Audio slow.
Now what gets me is a couple of things.
I'm not a beginner.
I just wiped my laptop and installed XP pro SP3 and all the programs I really wanted to use, not just all the programs I had stacked up in XP SP2 that were causing some conflicts.
I installed ACE Mega as my choice of Codec Packs. I was happy with it last time and it seems to take up less overhead than K-Lite. I also installed the latest DivXCodec.
I also used all the available audio output formats in the TMPGE's to no avail. The original AVI's are LinearPCM.
Any suggestions would be awesome as the only way around this audio sync problem that I can see is the long way around.
Converting the AVI's to VOBDVD using AVS then joining them using DVD Shrink and then converting the format to DivX with TMPGE, and who knows, after taking all that time TMPGE may throw the audio back off.
I could dig on any feedback, and yes, I know ACE is no longer updated, I just prefer it to K-Lite.
If you want to try joining the files with 'AVIDemux';from the file menu, open the first file then 'Append' the second one.
Save the output and check to see if it's synced.
If both source files are the same, they will be joined with no encoding.
Note, that you have to type the full file name for the output, including the .avi extension.
