  • m2v and wav not the same length

    Posted by Robert Westendorp on September 18, 2009 at 2:52 pm

    I have a wierd issue.

    I have a 38min project in Premiere. I’ve exported it via Mpeg2 so I get a .m2v and a .wav file.

    If I open each file seperatly I see that this as the length of each:

    m2v – 37:45
    wav – 38:00

    What’s up with that? Is there an easy way to fix it without re-rendering? It takes 6-8 hours to re-render when it does work.

    I read another post that suggested using a tool called “Restream” to fix the GOP timecode, but I can’t find any good documentation on how to use the tool at all.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    We assume your video and audio are in sync on the timeline?? And the length of both are identical on the timeline??
    If you export just the audio again is the duration the same as the first??

    With the two unequal files in an Encore timeline, are they in sync?
    Is your source video HDV?

    The duration is the same in Premiere pro.
    The footage is HDV (1280×720)
    The audio always exports at 38mins which is what the video footage should be as well.

    The sizes I was seeing was via VLC and Windows Media Player.
    I’ll double check the lengths inside of Encore again.

    One thing to suspect is dropped frames on capture, although 450 frames (video) is a bunch and should be noticeable on preview. Dropped frames equals less video than audio.
    Premiere used to put red frames as a placeholder for missing frames, but it has been awhile since I have used HDV and not sure how missing frames are handled.
