Hi. Im using Windows XP Pro, SP2, about 6 GB free on 80GB harddrive,no other major programs running in background using Nero Vision Express 2 from Nero 6 burning rom suite. Am trying to burn an avi video file onto a Verbatim DVD-R disc using fairly new Memorex DVD +/-R burner. The video comes out great. As does the audio in the final dvd. Except that the audio is about 2 seconds or so faster or slower then the video, which makes watching it pretty much obselete. Anyone know how to fix this?
this is a very common problem with nero, your best bet is to either try again and again till it is fixed, add the audio as a separate stream or try and use a different authoring software such as WinDVD creator...
Ive tried many many times, and wasted much time and money with same results. So trying again and again expecting somehow the junk programs to magically start working correctly isnt the answer. And the horrible windvd is junk too, and it even often has problems simply getting through burn process where EXACT same dvd project will at least burn with other programs windvd will go through most of burn process only to at end of it pop up some stupid and incredibly vague error message saying it couldnt be burned. All these lying software company executives should be arrested, and all their stolen money gained through swindling customers should be given back to us tenfold at least!
Try using a seperate hard drive for the video editing. It is not a good idea to do video editing on the same drive as the operating system and programs.
With less than 10% free space on your drive and considering a movie would need at least 4 GB, It isn't surprising to me that your having sync problems. When is the last time you defragmented? Do you REALLY need all those programs you have installed?
HI. I just defraged my harddrive a couple days ago, and now have just over 10GB free on main c drive and 16GB free on external harddrive. But the audio video are still out of synch terribly. The actual video files play fine on their own. Its only once ive loaded them into Nero Programs to create them into dvd that while previewing the video project file in Nero that the audio suddenly is set a couple seconds behind the video portion. And it turns out that way too if i try to burn the project to dvds. This is absurd! What is wrong with these stupid software programs? Ive even tried both ac whatever and the lcmp or whatever audio options and changing that audio option does not correct the mismatched audio video synch problem created by these dvd creation burning programs. Any insightful suggestions are appreciated.
You really don't have enough hard drive space. You shouldn't be using drive C to work on, It is not a good idea to do video work on the same drive as the operating system and programs, also the external hard drive should be ok if it is fire wire but there is not enough room on that either. You would be better off buying a 200 gig hard drive and fitting that in the machine and do all your work on that. Another point is how did you capture the stuff in the first place, if it was through one of those USB video capture devices then forget it. They just are no good. I have two 200 gig drives on each machine running Pinnacle Studio with their AV/DV capture card. Last night I left it recording tv all night for 8 hours to capture 3 movies that were on. This morning I did 3 seperate edits to get each movie and then during the day one by one I have been processing them on to DVD using Studio. The last one is nearly done now and then I will wipe the lot and record another batch of old films tonight. No Problems!
I am having the same problems. Have been having them for a while. I can't do the stuff on seperate hard drives as I only have 1. Will seperate partitions do? As for the lack of space, that aint the problem for me as I have around 100+ gig free. Could this not be a codec problem? And if so, how can I assign new codecs to nero?
Out of sync could be things like wrong video card drivers, wrong sound card drivers etc. Everything on your machine has to be right for this to work. A gig of ram helps also, not to mention a fast processor. Yes partition the one drive. I usually allow 15 gig for the operating system and programs and the rest for video work. The problem with Nero is that you ruin a disc if it goes wrong, why not try Pinnacle Studio, then you can create the DVD files on to the hard drive first, play them to make sure they are ok, then, if they are you burn them to disc. DVD files are "VOB" format files, after these are created in Studio you can bring individual ones in to Nero to make up different DVD discs with menus etc for the different files. This is handy if you have a collection of short clips, you create each short clip seperately and then bring them individually in to Nero to make a sort of compilation disc. I do this quite often.
I'm trying to create dvds of lost. I've managed with some dvds okay but others are quite poor. I figured it would just be codecs. I hope it aint drivers because I have downloaded the latest drivers for my mobo (onboard sound) and my graphics card. Its a new build pc but I have downloaded many a codec too. As you can see from the spec below, it should be powerful enough, but still no luck. Maybe I'll try creating the vob's before burning them in future... But even so, 2 hours to "try out" the files is a bit excessive. The files play fine on the pc in avi format by the way....
Your machine is more than capable, maybe disc burning speed is an issue, mine have always stuffed up if I do them at anything more than 4 times speed. I have never actually created a dvd in Nero from an AVI but I have one processing now in another machine as an experiment and I will let you know what happens. It is of a band so I will know straight away if there is a synch problem
Yeah, could be an issue right enough. I'll try a slower speed, with a film. Although it may be a bit harder to tell with team america I assume its just set to max.
OK I've tried this with Nero and the result is perfect, no synch problems at all. Admitedly it was only a 20 minute clip. I'll try a longer one later.
OK I've done a longer movie. I had 6 hours of video from last night's TV as an AVI file so imported it in to Nero and edited it down to one of the films that was on. It went for one hour and thirty eight minutes, took about three hours to process and burn on to disc and is perfect. No synch problems at all.
No just Nero full version 6. I don't usually use Nero to create a dvd because I use Pinnacle Studio Deluxe version 9 but I just did it as an experiment to see if it would work after reading of all the trouble that other people are having. When I first started doing this a couple of years ago when a Pioneer dvd writer was around $900 (Australian)I had lots of problems and wondered what I was doing wrong. Also the blank discs were $6 or $7 each, not 80 cents as they are now and I was ruining a lot of discs. What I eventually discovered was that there was a problem with the discs. I found this out because I could only get Verbatim discs one day which were more expensive but every one worked. I then did a lot of experimenting and I am still doing it to find out what works and what doesn't. I still reckon Pioneer make the best writers and Verbatim or TDK make the best discs. Buy your blank discs in the supermarket where you get your food and they probably won't work. I use DVD + R for everything now and am starting to use the dual layer ones as the price comes down. I can't really aadd much more to this, I only know that this all works ok with me and I do it on a daily basis. Sometimes I get one that is out of synch before I create the dvd but in Studio you can lock the sound and move the video track up or down one frame at a time untill you get it right. Quite often it is only 1 or 2 frames out. You can lock the video track and move the sound as well, whichever way you want to go.
I also am having the same problem as generalno. Ive been burning AVI's for some time now with no problems. this just started happening. right now I'm trying to burn avi's downloaded from torrents of the TV show 24. It seems like only NERO people are compalining about this. I have tried other torrents, Ive loaded my avi into VirtualDub and re-encoded the audio to higher LameMP3 etc. still no luck. the avi's play great on my PC but when burned they start to loose sync halfway thru the DVD. someone suggested converting my avi to MP4. I'm inthe process of that now but 1 hour to download, 3 hours to convert to MP4 and a couple more to burn... whew.. its just not worth it for a 45 min TV show. ANY other thoughts???
What do you record the AVI with in the first place? I use Pinnacle Studio version 9.4.3 and then create the DVD from that. Try reading my previous mesages.
