Hybrid Source - Sync Problem

veneficuss · Post by **veneficuss** » Thu Dec 09, 2004 2:12 pm

I ripped a couple of 80's music video VOBs (not anime) from DVDs and imported them into Vegas 5.0. It seems that the video runs fast and the music becomes out of sync.

I loaded the VOBs into DGIndex and found that there is a large mixture of FILM and NTSC. Whenever I try to Decomb or modify the video and then re-import it into Vegas, it seems that the video is much shorter, as if many frames are being discarded.

Has anyone else come across this? The video does not seem to be 3:2 pulldown, just a bizarre hybrid of NTSC and FILM (as high as a 60/40 ratio). The videos come from warner music and ripped from Guns and Roses video dvd using dvddecrypter.

TIA!

You shouldnt be doing any sort of editing with .vob files. They slow your system down to a crawl. Try opening the vob's in vdubmod and converting them to huffyuv (use 2.1.1 , the newer version has problems).

In Sony Vegas 5.0 you can indeed edit with VOB files and it does not slow down my system at all (Viao S-Series Laptop). I have authored at least 25 music video compilations this way and its quick and easy.

Back to the reason for this thread: The source seems to be a 60/40 hybrid. If I use DGIndex to demux the audio, then Besweet to convert the AC3 to WAV and then load the video and the audio into vegas, the audio lags the video. I then used VirtualDUb to convert the video into huffyuv 2.1.1 AVI. The resulting video is shorter in length than the WAV that I got from BeSweet, and shows as shorter in length than the original VOB file. This is annoying me to no end. I am ready to just capture it from a dvd player using some hardware USB 2.0 video capturing device like WinTV.

Has anyone come across this?

Have you tried the classic DVD2AVI / AVIsynth / Decomb route?

I have used DGIndex and saved the file, which created a default AVS file. I then tried all combinations used in the guides with telecide , decimate and converttoyuv2 to no avail.
