some times the audio doesnt synchronize with the video.. i dont know what to do.. what should i do to make it sync?
Discussion is locked
1. Virtual Dub has an adjustment for this.
2. Ulead's Video editor has this as well, but I find Virtual Dub to be easier for me.
Bob
but how do you actually sync the video and audio from there? i have no idea how..
Be aware that I do not offer ANY support for Virtual Dub. You must read the online manual.
Bob
virtual dub cant open the video file i captured using pinnacle, it says it needs video for windows codec.. do you happen to know where i can get this bob?
I found it to be a worthy purchase. It's at http://www.winavi.com/
Bob
what actually are the causes why audio and video doesnt sync? and how can i possibly avoid this?
Human error in the code that makes all this magic work.
I've yet to encounter bug free operation.
Bob
some video frames while continuing to record the audio without a hitch. The playback of the video then gets out of synch with the audio because of the missing frames.
Dropped frames can be caused by several things among which are:
the computer is too slow
contention when writing to the hard drive
other programs running while video is being captured
lack of a dedicated drive for video capture
software based encode
The fix that I am familiar with is to use a video editing program. If it is good, it will allow you to move the audio to match the video, or to insert material to make up for the lost frames. Adobe Premier Pro or Sony Vegas 4/5 will allow you to do this. I am not familiar with cheaper software.
The capture is digital and have a timecode system so that even if a frame is corrupted you will not see this issue.
BUT the most common reason I find is hacked codecs.
Bob
is reasonably fast and clean when I'm doing a capture. I did see dropped frames when my ATI AIW was capturing video. It even reports a statistic for dropped frames. It didn't bother the ATI playback software as it covered for the situation. How, I don't know. However, the problem could be seen when a video editor read the file. There, Vegas 5, the loss of synchronization was quite clear. Fortunately, the solution was also clear. Hold one or more frames until synchronization was restored, or, if possible, snip out a section of sound to allow the sound to be moved back into synch.
i record videos, then upload them to my computer using firewire and pinnacle.. sometimes, i see dropped frames and this is usually my hint that audio is not synchronizing with the video.. is there an easier solution for this? i really need help badly..
