Audio/Video Sync

[matthrolf]

Matt, the sync that I asked sub about is issued on a pause. Does hitting pause/play resync this file?

Martin

I will find out... Skipping back (i use 30 seconds) usually fixes it.

I am not transcoding. They are MPG2 files.

Matt

Ok, what's in a name, I meant the conversion/translation/rename, whatever you want to call it, from vob to mpg. That's a little more complicated than changing the extension from vob to mpg and "stitching" everything together to 1 file.

[matthrolf]

These files are being created using software specifically designed to translate vob files from the dvd to mpg files and place all files into one file. There WAS no problem playing these files on former versions. There is no problem playing these files form windows media player or vlc.

I have seen mpg's before that would play ok in vlc or wmp but not on the mvp, or play only in vlc, or give different durations in different players. etc etc.

You can't compare mvpmc and vlc, since vlc handles errors in the mpeg stream better. I don't use wmp so I assume it's the same. What I think is happening is the "stitching" that Hans is referring to isn't perfect, it is a difficult process, and this is causing the sync error.

I'm surprised that the Hauppauge dongle handles it better but I hope that pause/play test proves successful, because that points to a solution.

First, the problems mentioned are with the timebase of the file... These checkout fine. I, too, have seen files that exhibit this behavior; these do not.

Secondly, yes, unfortunatly the haup dongle did not have this problem.


I am away from the house for a while I will be able to get more testing done in a couple of days... Sorry for the delay, unplanned business trip.

Thanks for you time,

Matt
