HI all-

I could use some help. I just purchased the Roxio VHS to DVD for Mac to transfer some old VHS movies I have to DVD before the VHS cassettes completely fall apart. Setup was a breeze and the recording itself goes along just fine. No problems. But when I play the .mov file on my computer after the recording is finished, I run into trouble. About halfway through the recording, the audio starts getting out of sync with the video. It starts off at about a 1-2 second delay, but by the end of the full recording it's all the way at 5 seconds. The delay isn't there when I watch the VHS itself on the TV nor is it there on the display screen while the recording is in progress. This happened to EVERY single VHS transfer I've tried to do in the last few days.

Is there any way to fix this? I'd appreciate it!

Thanks

What is the name Roxio gives the application that is doing the recording? Mine is called "Easy VHS to DVD Capture" but recent purchasers are saying theirs is called "Roxio Video Capture." If it is the latter there are others reporting an audio sync problem. In that case I suggest going to the Roxio Software Updates page and download the latest Easy VHS to DVD Capture application and use that instead.

I only came across this when initially digitising analogue Video8/Hi8 into DV or Digital8/MiniDV, the machine was default to 12 bit, and my software was looking for 16 bit, resulting in a delay.

Once I'd changed to digitising to 16 bit Audio, the problem went away.

What are the Audio Settings for Roxio Video Capture/Easy VHS to DVD Capture?

Luckily I can digitise any analogue video with the JVC SR-VS30, although I did note that my version of VideoGlide which uses a an EasyCAP USB device to encode S-Video/Composite Video & Stereo Audio also had a difficulty with sound delay capture, but the software settings to VideoGlide could be altered to capture in 16 bit, so its possibly a default setting for Quicktime on Macs to look for 16 bit audio?

Easy VHS to DVD Capture seems to solve the Roxio Video Capture audio sync problem, but Easy VHS to DVD is not nearly as featured. It doesn't let you designate the "save to" destination (defaults to the Movies folder) and there are no Trim options. Does anyone have a solution to get audio in sync with Roxio Video Capture? The version of Quicktime I have (10.0) does not seem to allow for Audio Track Extraction.

Try the freeware QT Sync to fix the out of sync version.
