Convert WMV to DVD out of sync

I am trying to make a DVD out of a WMV file. The WMV plays perfectly, but if I convert it to a DVD file, it is several seconds out of sync.

I used Nero to convert, and I also tried another software app to convert it with the same result.

I even tried converting the WMV to AVI first, and still a sync. problem.

How can I burn a WMV file that is in sync, or fix the sync problem in the DVD files before burning them?

Thanks,
Aiko

 

This program should be able to help you out. It will convert your WMV to various other formats. I've had success with it before.

Thanks for the link. Have you had the problem I have had with wmv conversions out of sync prior to using the Stoic converter you linked?

I've run into many formats that have sync problems, or header problems, etc etc. No one program will solve every problem, but there are some out there that work very well. Stoik is one, bink I also use, videofixer, and on and on. For WMV I think Stoik.

 

That is non pirated video isnt it?

 

100% free and legal, non-pirated video.

 

then you shouldn't have the issue

 

The issue is when I convert from wmv to dvd, it gets out of sync, so what are you talking about? It's not going out of sync because it's pirated.

 

so you are a pirate then?

 

Avast, matey, what part of "100% free and legal, non-pirated video" didn't you understand?

You must be joking (you couldn't be that stupid).

Please dont get into a verbal with this bloke, it's NOT worth it, Cheers

 

Yeah, the problem isn't because it's pirated it's probably due to varible bitrate audio in the file. Many programs expect the same frame size per cycle. When that isnt the case, you get sync issues.
BTW, did stoik work? If not, you should probably try ripping the audio out and using that new file when you convert. You can use power video to audio converter 1.01 from http://www.sagasoft.net to do this.

 

Gwendolin,

I was done, but you are right.

It reminded me of this:

Jigen:

I ran it through STOIK, but didn't know what output format to select.
I chose the last option to maintain full quality, and ended up with a 32 GB file! However, it was in sync.

I am redoing it now, and I selected the 25 FPS High PC format, but wasn't sure if I should use that or the DivX setting. I want to maintain quality, but wasn't expecting that large a file. And then once it is done converting to AVI, I suppose I will need to convert it to DVD, and that will make it larger still.

I don't care if the end product requires 2 Dual-Layer DVDs, but I don't want it bigger than that. I hope that by reducing the file size, it doesn't end up out of sync again.

No, you should get a much smaller MPG if you encoded it because the way you outputted it is fully uncompressed frames. That's why it's so huge. My fault for not mentioning this. I use the divx settings and output that way. The amount of video quality you lose will be negligable, and unfortunately some degradation is a normal part of the conversion process.

 

So I should kill the HIgh PC 25 FPS and restart it using DivX; that's my best bet?

 

FWIW, I just checked out what had converted at 25 FPS, and it was out of sync : (

I fear that unless I let it go with no loss of quality like the first time through @ 32 GB, it will get out of sync.

I am trying it now using the DivX option.

Thanks,
Aiko
