tsantee Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 im having the exact same problem with my audio as well and i cant fix it, ive tried all of the suggestions Please let us know the specs of the video that's giving you this problem and if you are trying to create an NTSC or PAL DVD.

Duch Posted December 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 It seems that you need to save it as a .mov or the movie is horrible quality, if you resave it as an avi... But now at least I still have the ability to burn avi;s albiet long, and it takes up alot of space.. 20 gigs for the .dv and 45ish for the MOV.

Duch Posted December 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 Thanks Guru's... This did work, and although there is a bit of work to change from .AVI to DV... then open the .DV and sync the audio, save it as a .MOV (only way to save in free version), then burn the .mov file with toast. works... long but it works... Thanks again I ordered the full version, and once I do some more copies, will save to .avi and see if those .avi files can be properly burnt in toast.

tsantee Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 and how do I sync the audio and video in SimpleMovieX I experimented with SimpleMovieX a bit before I dared suggest it. Here is the link to their tutorial about synching audio. A complete list of tutorials is here. I'd appreciate your letting us know if this works out.

tsantee Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 any idea's? Well, it's likely to be related to the specs of the source AVI and the specs of the finished DVD. It's not happening with all sources. The final DVD is 16 bit, 2-channel 48 khz audio and I've already discussed issues about frame rate and video resolution which apparently are considerably different from the source AVI. Without looking to all of this thread I don't recall a lot of information being given about the specific specs of the source AVIs that result in the sync problem. If I had one of these videos I'd probably convert it to DV and then either use QuickTime Pro of the application SimpleMovieX to adjust the audio sync, and then give it back to Toast for authoring the DVD.

Duch Posted December 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 some of my .AVI files are in PAL, and when I go to burn those files, it asks me if I want to convert to NTSC. Those are the .AVI files that can burn to a dvd properly. The .AVI files that are already NTSC, and dont need to be converted are the ones that are having the audio video sync issues. I am asking if there is a way to change the .AVI files that are NTSC to PAL (without burning to dvd)? If they could, then when burning, toast asks me to convert or not, that might work.

tsantee Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 Is there a way to change the source video, so it is PAL instead of NTSC? Then to have toast convert the video? It seems to be the only want to have the dvd work. I'm a little confused. In your previous post you said Toast asked if you really wanted the video to be NTSC. That means the source video is PAL. In this post you ask if you can change the source to PAL. PAL video is 25 fps whereas NTSC is either 29.97/30 fps or 23.976 fps with 3:2 pulldown. The latter deals with correcting the frame rate from film sources for video playback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tsantee Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 When Burning the DVD, it seems that if it is going to work, Toast will ask me if i want to convert it to NTSC. Even though I have it selected in my options. Is there a way to make this promt always show up? If the source video is in PAL format and you have NTSC selected in Toast Preferences, then Toast will ask if you really want to convert from PAL to NTSC. The opposite is also true. You only see that message when the PAL or NTSC format is not the one selected in Toast Preferences. If you want to keep it as PAL then you need to change the preferences to PAL. If you are going to often use PAL source video then I suggest getting one of the Philips dual-format DVD players which will play PAL discs on NTSC TVs, rather than have Toast change the format.

Duch Posted December 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 I converted the AVI to DV, and the audio is still ahead of the video, but not by such a long time, maybe 5 seconds. I am Using NTSC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tsantee Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 it says it is Video: Divx 664 x 268 23.98 fps audio: mpeg layer-3 stereo 48000hz I dont know how to convert, or where to convert window is convert the avi to dv. It will be interesting to learn if the videos Anti is having the problem with have similar specs to yours. The Convert window is icon on the right. The first is Data, then Audio, then Video, then Copy and then Convert. Place the AVI there and click the burn button (which is now the Convert button because there is nothing to burn). A window appears where you can select the format you want for conversion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tsantee Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 If this does involve encoding 30 fps video to 25 fps for PAL that could be the reason for the audio-sync problem although I'd expect the audio to become increasingly out-of-sync rather than start out that way. How does Toast describe the specs for the AVI file? If you are willing to experiment, try using the Convert window to convert the AVI to DV or another format to see if all conversions result in the problem. If one of those conversions are okay try using that one as the source for making into a video DVD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anti Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 I am currently saving the disc image, then will mount it. hopefully it works. Is there a way through toast to convert the avi file to a video_ts folder, and burn it that way cleanly? i have done most avi files to dvd but if they need decoding to pal then i have sound before movie so i am hearing a person talk 5 - 6 seconds before they should speak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
