Hey all, new to the forums and dvd backup in general and I'm having rather annoying issues. When I use DVD Decrypter and Autogk my audio gets unsynched with the movie, not just sometimes, but in every case except for one. I'm not sure what is causing this (sometimes its only about half a second off... in the last movie it was off by a good 10 seconds or so from the beginning, sometimes the aurio is fine for a but then gets off somewhere in the middle), but lemme run down what I do quickly: I rip the main movie file using dvd decrypter ( i don't think i've changed any of the options regarding the ripping, I can't understand what they mean so I don't touch them) then I use AutoGK, selecting auto width for the movie, along with Constant bitrate audio at 192 kbs. I set the quality i want at around 65%, add the job and start it. I basically leave it alone while its working, except to do some work on Word or surf the internet (could this make a difference?). Anyone have any idea why I would get dysynced audio every time? and not totally dysynched either, at some point part way through the movie the the audio becomes unsynched, so at least part way through things are normally fine. Also, I tried just using DVD Shrink, but the problem is that I get good sound, but the dialogue comes out waaay too low (like inaudibly low). Did a little research and basically it seems like DVD shrink makes it so the movie only plays the 5 channel ACS/DTS (or whatever that is) sound (or 2 channel normal stuff if there is no DTS which is what I want for everything... ie. TV show DVD rips work fine b/c they normally don't have 5 channel dts, but some movies seem to only have 5 channel dts for the normal movie and 2 channel for director commentary etc.) I'm wondering if there is any way to fix this? I'm really interested in being able to back up my often poorly taken care of DVDs... and i have plenty of space to do it, but of course I'd rather use the AutoGK method to save space if possible. I know this is a lot to go through but any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
I never used Auto GK, but with DVD Decrypter I get a VOB set, and here I never had sync problems. Problem can raise if tou demux an AC3 stream and you don't take in account the 'delay' or if you compress the audio stream into VBR MP3, whic causes un-sync problems when joined in a video. If the trouble is only when you author the DVD with the extracted video and audio, maybe if you get the stream information and, when you author, you insert the same 'delay' the final DVD gets in-sync (e.g. ReJug has a 'delay' box for the audio stream). Dunno...
I think i figured it out. This time I ripped to my large external harddrive with about 40 gigs of free space and it worked fine for 2 movies. before I would just rip straight to my laptop which only had about 11 gigs of free space, that's the only difference I can really tell. Dunno why it would be such a big deal but oh well. Thanks for the help!
