SYSINFO: linux kernel 2.6.22-gentoo-r2 384 mb ddr ram 2ghz intel cpu WHERE I GOT TRANSCODE FROM: gentoo portage tree, stable branch, by emerging dvd::rip, transcode compile options are USE="X a52 dv dvdread fame iconv jpeg lzo mjpeg mmx mp3 mpeg network ogg quicktime sdl sse sse2 theora truetype v4l2 vorbis xml xvid -3dnow (-altivec) -extrafilters -gtk -imagemagick" Transcode is version 1.0.3, dvd::rip is version 0.98.2 Allright, so I am a happy dvd::rip/transcode user. I've converted quite a few movies to xvid4/ac3 but some movies just won't sync the audio with the video. These are all PAL movies @ 25 fps. So far, I got these problems with James Bond Goldfinger + Thunderball, Dogma, Pulp Fiction (currently test-transcoding again with -M 2 option) and Liar Liar. Some of these movies desync right from the start without any -M mode defined, if I do define a -M 2 mode, they sync right in the start but gradually desync towards the end. Audio lags 2-3 seconds with 1.5 hour movies and with 2.5 hour movies the lag can go up to 5-6 seconds. I tried everything; per-chapter encoding outputs almost perfectly synced files but when I merge them the desync becomes just as if I encoded it at once; with a lot of "no audio data left, removing x frame(s)" messages. I've been reading trough the transcode manual for hours, tried every possible option involving video framerates / sound sync stuff to no avail. I tried every possible audio/video codec combo, desync keeps happening. Took apart the audio/video parts of the movie and remerged them afterwards, nothing. I checked if the mpaa wasnt hacking my pc and made my movies desync on purpose (just kidding). I'm right up on my knickers, just don't know what else I can try now. Does anyone have any other suggestions that I could try to transcode these movies with a/v synced?
