Hello,
I got an avi file,which has audio leading by some milliseconds(dont know how 2 ).I understand that it can be synced again using avisync command.but how do i know how many seconds audio or video is lagging/leading then only u can correct the align?also avifix-will this helpme...
if you know e auto syncing of audio/video pls help me.

Usually, one keeps adjusting the sync until it looks right. Some programs let you adjust this via a gui tool (I recall mplayer having a sync tool for this...)

please explain.which tools does this best-can we have a preview option while editing sync of the file.

hmmm... well I last did this in mplayer ... but for playback rather than actual editing. Don't see why mencoder cannot do the adjustment, but I haven't tried.

Your best bet is to use a full movie-authoring suite if you are unsure. It'll be overkill but clear.

I see English is your second language.

Just a note on writing English:
A hyphon "-" has a space on either side of it if you use it as a separator. Otherwise it has the effect of joining the words on either side of it. So a native English speaker would read "best-can" as a joined up word before realizing that it makes no sense and should be "best - can".

A period "." or "full stop" has at least one space after it to indicate the gap before the next sentence. The first letter of the following sentence needs to be capitalized. So "explain.which" should be "explain. Which". Similarily, your sig should read "GOD is JESUS. Wake-up Europe." Or maybe: "God is Jesus: wake-up Europe." Otherwise you are claiming that god is "jesus.wakeup" - so I can, perhaps, meet god by browsing to www.jesus.wakeup? The dot used like that can also be a logical "and" operation or a vector product, making the statement quite interesting. Both have been used as a shorthand in philosophical debate.

(Quite aside from the fact that this is not a contention made by either God or Jesus anywhere in the Bible. But that is off topic.)

thank you for ur suggestions.i left my siggie hidden as it will flame another controversy running!

You can also adjust the sync in xine, which would lead me to believe you could also do it in VLC. Which brings me to my suggestion:

In VLC (assuming you can adjust the sync) you can set an output file from your video stream. Once you get the sync fixed, you could then stream to a file the new video.

Good luck!

Cool

thx;will try

Xine (xine-lib to be more precise) will do its best to keep the audio and video sync using its own tricks for AVI files which do not have any timestamping unlike MOV (Quicktime) and MPEG that has timestamping. VLC is glitchy when playing video and audio.

The best non-linear video editor is Cinelerra CVS.

Every professional video editor or director has this problem. The best way and the only way is trial and error. The slate is used to sync the video frame with the auido. If you can not find any object that makes a sound upon impact, syncing the audio will be very hard.

Use avisync in a script, so you can do several tries at once. The following lines could be used in the script.

avisync -q -i input.avi -o output-try01.avi -n 1 &
avisync -q -i input.avi -o output-try02.avi -n 2 &
avisync -q -i input.avi -o output-try03.avi -n 3 &
avisync -q -i input.avi -o output-try04.avi -n 4 &
avisync -q -i input.avi -o output-try05.avi -n 5 &
avisync -q -i input.avi -o output-try06.avi -n 6 &
avisync -q -i input.avi -o output-try07.avi -n 7 &
avisync -q -i input.avi -o output-try08.avi -n 8 &
avisync -q -i input.avi -o output-try09.avi -n 9 &
avisync -q -i input.avi -o output-try10.avi -n 10 &

The above are only examples so adjust them.
