Using DIVXToDVD to convert AVI to DVD Help!!

I am totally new to this so please bear with me. I have spent all weekend reading and looking at different software to find something simple to use to convert an .AVI movie file i have so I can burn it to DVD and play it on my TV.

I finally decided to have a go with DIVXToDVD which seems very straight forward. I converted my file in about an hour to a VOB and then the program proceeded to burn it for me, all very nice.

I put the newly made DVD in my TV player and it fired up great but the sound was about 10 second out from the start???

Here are the file details:
AVI Aspect ratio: 1.2222 (11.9)
Stream Count 2
Video: msmpeg4, 352x288, 12.50fps
Audio: mp3, 24,000HZ, Stereo, 56kb/s

Not sure if that means anything but I wondered if there was a setting in DIVXToDVD I need to change. I have read threads here about sound sinc problems and they seem to point at a change in frame rates but I cannot find any such setting in DIVToDVD?

Please help someone.

Looks like a crappy VCD re-encode that has half the frames decimated and the audio resampled to half.

My advice would be to simply watch and delete it. Not worth wasting time or media on.

 

Thanks for the quick reply.

I must admit the file isn't the best but would that cause the bad sound sinc?

I have tried this with several other AVI files and on every one Video and Audio are out of sinc once they are converted to VOB files?

 

Just tried a quick experiment..

I fired off the original .avi on my PC at the same time as the DVD copy I made which I played on my TV. Both audio's stayed together but the picture on my DVD seemed to go ahead of the sound as if the picture was running faster than the audio, does this make sense?

The converted file is the same as the DVD burn so the change happened when I converted the .avi to a VOB file with DIVToDVD.

Anyone?

 

Dear GRHall,

There is really no easy solution for the sync. problem (that's why you're reading all those threads). But some people have better luck changing to a different software. So instead of using VSO (the retail version), you may try use VSO (free version), DVDSanta, Winavi ...etc. to see if things are better.

 

Hi scf_au

Thanks for the advice.

I did another avi file late last night using DIVXToDVD and it worked, the file was much better quality though so maybe celtic_d had a point about the poor quality of my first burn.

I did read you need to decompress audio before converting an avi movie file, but have no idea what that means or how you would do it LOL!

I keep reading and learning!

Thanks again

 

Will give it a go

Thanks!
