Hi,
In reading another thread Kwag noted that pulldown.exe does indeed work on MPEG-1 video streams. So, since my Apex 1100W doesn't like 24fps MPEG-1 I tried it. It *does* work, no more skipping and audio pauses
However, now I have a problem with the audio being out of synch, or even the wrong "rate".
After I pulldown the MPEG-1 video stream and mux it with the audio (just the mpa that DVD2AVI created) it is out of synch immediately, and may be more so as the movie plays. As a test, I tried (using bbMPEG for this) muxing the same audio with the original MPEG-1 that I had encoded with TMPGEnc, audio was in synch. The original and the pulled-down MPEG files are exactly the same size, of course, but the latter appears as being 29.97fps. The original movie was a capture that was IVTCed when encoded in TMPGEnc.
How to I go about fixing the audio so it will match up with the pulled-down video? I have messed with setting up TMPGEnc to 30fps and encoding audio only to get a new mp2 file, and also the same with 24fps. The size and frames are the same, so not sure that makes any difference. Not home to run test clips anyway.
From one challenge to another with this stuff
Thanks,
Geoff
