transcode vob to avi - audio sync problem
 

I cannot get audio to sync with video when transcoding video clips from VOB to avi. After a minute or so the audio falls behind video.

I am using transcode 1.0.2 on Ubuntu Linux.

The closest I can get is with this command:

transcode -i vts_01_1.vob -r 2 -w 375,75,25 -o cut1_375_4.avi -y xvid4

Including the -M options did not help. I'm scripting this, so I can't use a GUI program.

I've looked around and see others have had this problem, but I have not found a good solution. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

SR

Did u install transcode from source? What about mjpeg-tools? Is it just the one file that does it, or have you tried different ones?

Oh yea, you may also want to try using mencoder to do that. I got a script, lemme know if you need it.

Thanks for the replies.

This worked:

using mencoder.

However, on the Windows side, I'm getting a "codec not found . . . FOURCC code FMP4" error when trying to play back a clip encoded this way.

What is the easiest way to install the codec to play the video back on a Windows machine?

Thanks again.

In windows I think it's called ffdshow or you could if using mencoder use -ffourcc DX5O or -ffourcc XVID

Yea, i would also recommend either the xvid or use libavcodec.
