I have AIW X800xt on win xp sp2 on an hp amd 64 computer. When i
record a movie from our satellite and then convert and burn using vso
convertxtodvd I get the audio slightly behind the video. Using TV
9.06 and dvd high setting to record as had problems with later tv
software ie. 9.13 and Ati said to use 9.06. Is there some setting or a
patch/update to correct this and are others expieriencing this.
Yes, this is a common problem with video from TV cards and satellite
sources. Audio seems to have priority for processing, and sometimes the
video becomes delayed while other work is being done by the computer. I
have also seen raw A/V from TV out of sync, and noticeable as I watch it off
the air. In other words, your source could be bad before you receive it.
Be aware.
I have been fighting this for two years. Most of the time it is
unnoticeable, but once a while it is real bad. Video delay is often
introduced into the a/v stream as the information is processed through the
routing equipment of the satellite channel, TV station, video editing
equipment, distribution amps, effects equipment, and more. (Frame store
equipment delay video by 1/60 of a second on each pass-through, so if the
user does not delay the audio equally, a noticeable difference can be
detected after 3 or 4 pass throughs.) I do not have a solution, however,
their is professional software that will allow the timing of the audio
channel to be delayed as necessary.
Be sure nothing else is running on your computer when you are recording a/v.
Be aware of the delay from the original source. If your information is
important enough, and the delay is bad enough, look into purchasing delaying
software. Personally, it's not bad enough for me to spend any money so far.
