Video and Audio Frame Rates Off

J

Jeff

For those who have this same problem! I extract recorded
shows from a Digital Video Recorder. I kept having
Video/Audio frame rate problems. This seems to have fixed
it.

*********************

I just installed a clean install of WinXpPro. I installed
only the Microsoft software and DivxPro. Here are the
files I installed:

1 MPSetupXP.exe - Windows Media Player 9
2 WM9Codecs.exe - Windows Media Player 9 Series Codecs
3 WMEncoder.exe - Windows Media Encoder 9
4 wmv9VCMsetup.exe - Windows Media Video 9 VCM Codec
5 MP3 Creation Pack for XP.msi - MP3 Codec
6 DVDPack.msi - DVD Decoder Pak for Windows XP - Cyberlink
PowerDVD based
7 DivXPro505Bundle.exe - DivxPro 5.05 Retail Version

(S) --> MPEG-2 Splitter --> CyberLink Video/SP Decoder -->
(R)
(S) --> MPEG-2 Splitter --> CyberLink Audio Decoder --> (R)


So far so good. Every show I extracted yesterday have a
good video and audio frame rate. Both are at 29.970. I use
VirtualDub 1.5.1 (build 15817). This build will open
mpg's. Other versions will not. I use Womble 3.14 to cut
the commercials and VirtualDub to compress the show using
DivxPro. Audio is compressed at 128kBit/s, MPEG Layer 3.

I don't know. By getting rid of all the other codecs and
only installing these seem to have gotten rid of my frame
rate problems. Maybe this can help someone else.

One quick question - I have noticed that if I extract a
movie to my pc sometimes the audio and video frame rates
are off. I'm sure this is probably a problem that has been
beat to death on this site. I'm using VirualDub 1.5.1
(build 15817) to view the frame rates. But.it seems that
if I never watch a recorded show, only extract it, the
frame rates are ok. If I watch it, even just partially,
the frame rates are thrown off. As you watch a pre-
recorded show, does the system add some type of marker
that allows it to return to where you left off? And is it
this "marker" that throws off the frame rates? I do use
Womble to cut the commercials, but on some shows which
have the frame rate too far off, it doesn't help. Normally
I use Womble to cut the commercials and VirualDub to
recompress the file down to a livable size. This seems to
work well.
