  • Occasional Sync loss after compression

    Posted by Stainsbyn on October 19, 2007 at 3:10 pm

    I have completed a 40 minute travelog programme which looks good. Everytime I put it through quick time compression there are 3 short sequences at different times in the programme when the audio is ahead of the vision by approximately 30 frames. There are also instances where frames are dropped after a transition.

    1. How do I resolve this?
    2. What is the best compression to use for inserting the PAL HD widescreen film onto a standard PAL Widescreen DVD. I’ve tried M-Peg 4, H-264,
    3. What should the frame rate be set as ?

    Thanks

    Use Compressor presets

    Convert to MPEG 2 not 4

    Each time I have tried this, Compressor or Final Cut Studio quits between 60 and 70% into the processing.

    I’m not entirely sure what you mean. Are you saying I export it to QuickTime and then export it into compressor? I’ve tried 15 different ways of compression so far and have had no success when I’ve fomatted the DVD’s. The out of sync video is bad enough but I have ended up with lines on the screen to the DVD freezing but the audio carrying on.
