MPEG Streamclip Audio Out of Sync
I have a DVD burned from an 8mm tape that a client wants as a Quicktime movie. The video is in sync on the tape, in sync on the DVD copy, and when I open it and look at it in Streamclip, it’s in sync. However, when I use Streamclip to export it as a Quicktime or MPEG, it is out of sync every time. I tried just manually syncing it up in Final Cut, but this results in fifteen seconds of video with no audio hanging off at the end, which won’t work. I’ve tried setting in & out points to try to guide it to grab everything, but it doesn’t work. I’ve also burned a new DVD copy on the assumption that there’s something wrong with the DVD files, but that didn’t help either. I’ve never encountered any problems with Streamclip’s audio sync before. I have Streamclip 1.9.1 on a Mac. Any suggestions?

Every so often I encounter a DVD that just doesn’t do well with Streamclip and I have use DVDxDV for that one. It’s not free, so try their demo before you buy.

Try Handbrake too. It’s free and it might work.

you have to run “fix timecode breaks” within mpeg streamclip every single time you use it to rip dvd content.
Even if it doesn’t say it needs it.
Do this and it will be in synch.
I use it almost every day and have never had out of synch video from a DVD that was in synch.

That’s not entirely true. I fixed timecode breaks and it was still out of sync. I’m gonna try opening up 1 file instead of all files and see if that doesn’t fix the problem. Other than that, I would think it might be an export setting out of streamclip????? Also, maybe the audio settings on the dvd are at a different sample rate than that of the export settings. just food for thought.

I can’t seem to find the right combination of setting to prevent the sound going out of sync exporting a VOB file. I tried fixing the timecode breaks but it did not work. Is there something else I may be missing?

Hi! I just experienced the same issue today. I discovered somehow the frame rate field was empty in the Movie Exporter window. So I entered 29.97 and the resulting QT now had the audio properly synched.
Hope that helps your situation!

William,
Dis yoou use mpeg streamclip to do so? Because I put 29.97 in the frame rate and it did not work. it did, however, seem closer to sync though.

Joshua,
Yeah, sorry, I used MPEG Streamclip, That solved the problem I was having. Maybe it was a related problem and not identical. I wasn’t exporting VOBs but MOVs.
Good luck!
take care, wjm

Lip sync issued occur for me when I ‘Select In’ and ‘Select Out’. All exports then have lip sync issues.
Doing ‘Cancel Selection’ then exporting resulted in perfect lip sync. I suspect there are issues with the Select In/Out functionality.

One other thing: Lip sync was bad after trimming as well. Exporting an untrimmed file, without Select In and Select Out set, fixed all my lip sync issues.
