12/17/2001 13:44:24 (tech question to mnf site) USB INSTANT DVD Problem description: After CAPTURING MPEG FOR VCD THE SOUND IS NOT SYNCED WITH THE VIDEO. I am using an AMD 950 mgz system with 750 megs of ram and a plextore 12/10/32a burner and a Creative SoundBlaster AudioPCI sound card.Also using an ATI Rage 128 Pro w/32 megs ram. I have been able to tweak the Capwiz to get sound "almost" synced in play back but then when I burn the resulting mpeg the sound is "significantly" off sync. ???? Any suggestions??? Using ADS USB instant DVD capture device..Sound didn't sync till I "tweaked" setting in "CapWiz" (simple capture prog that comes with device). After capture I can play back resulting MPG and sound looks reeeel close (not perfect). But when I burn to VCD, (using Nero 5.5.4 and Roxio's ez cd creator 5 platinum), sound is significantly off. Burning with Plextor 12/10/32a burner and using s/b AudioPCI card. ???? Any help will be greatly appreciated.(and prolly save me tons o bucks as I have created BUNCH o coasters) Tanx :>)
Don't capture directly to MPEG, puh-leez... The quality suffers and it also _might_ be the cause for synch problems. Always capture to non-lossy format (or almost non-loss format) like M-JPEG -- I admit that this requires helluvalot of HDD space, but it's worth it. And then edit the video and _then_ encode the video using TMPGEnc. Read my short guide of capturing (originally just for music videos, but it works for everything) from here: http://www.afterdawn.com/articles/archive/musicvideo_guide_part_1_capture.cfm
Tanx will try it also update old CHEAP sound card... LIKE GIVING CHICKEN SOUP TO A DEAD MAN..... "Couldn't Hoit!!!"
