more mp4 audio/video sync woes

[Steve Rhoden]

Ok…Here is what i sometimes try…Simply render out
in the Quicktime Photo-jpeg format. Then drop back that
format unto the timeline and then final render out as
Sony AVC.
If you want it easier, you can install and use
this free plugin to help, Video4YouTube.

Hmmm interesting. Thanks Steve.

I’m trying to work efficiently and would rather not render twice if at all possible.

just had another user on a MAC view it perfectly on quicktime. so strange.

Have you experienced this before?

Are your client’s computers so underpowered that they can’t handle the file?

[Gilles Gagnon]

It is a possibility… would they experience out of sync issues?

“It is a possibility… would they experience out of sync issues?”

Anything’s possible. It’s been so long since I’ve used an underpowered computer that I honestly have no idea.

In addition to Steve’s idea, the only other suggestions I can make is to either lower your bitrate on the 720P version (if the quality hit is acceptable) or offer them a lower res version (Internet 640P).

[Gilles Gagnon]

I can certainly try this Mike.

Which bitrate would you suggest I try with to begin?

Gilles

[Mike Kujbida]

Gilles, the preset you’re using has a bitrate of 8,000,000
Customize it by dropping it down 1,000,000 at a time until it gets to a point where you don’t like the final quality and use the next one up from there.
Hopefully a lower bitrate version will play on your client’s PC.

[Gilles Gagnon]

Thanks Mike,

I’ll give that a whirl,

Good luck with it Gilles – and remember to stop cursing clients 🙂

[Gilles Gagnon]

Ha ha! Thanks Mike… I never bite the hand that feeds me … my clients are gold.
