My Sony won't play XviD Files. I run XviD thru ImTOO and 90% of the time they come out fine. Sometimes this conversion causes a lip sync problem which Four CC Changer rarly repairs. I tried Virtual Dub and it ate up 8 Gigs of hard Drive to do 9 min of film? Is this normal. Any suggestions? Thanks
Well there's a bit of a learning curve, but sounds as if you missed an important step. Choose video/compression, pick your output codec, select it an set the defaults. Start from there, and see where you go. May be necessary to tweak the bit rate as necessary.
Thanks for your reply. I set the audio and video on full processing mode and the Video Compression to DivX. Then I save as an AVI. I can't figure out how to set the bit rate or what to set it too. The file size increased to 1.91 GB from 700 MB but the lip sync wasn't cured. Any other suggestions......this looks like a very complicated program to understand. Tanks again
Are you using the latest release of virtualdub (1.8.1?) . Load the original file and choose file/file information. Look at "data rate". When you set up the divx encoder in video/ compression, choose this rate as your bit rate. Use video/fast compress. Use audio/direct stream copy. If the audio is still out of synch, is it out the same amount all the way thru, or does it get progressively worse the further it goes? If it's the same amount you can fix it by using audio/interleaving/ audio skew correction. It's a great program. it's not that it's complicated, it's just that it gives you complete manual control. Just be patient, as as you learn more, you'll probably like it.
