Procoder 3 Mpeg 2 Export Files don’t sync up on timeline
Hello, I’ve been using Procoder 3 to encode my short film to Mpeg 2 and then burn a DVD from the Adobe Timeline. It looks and sounds great, but the audio strip is a little longer than the video and it doesn’t quite match, so I have to adjust the sync in serveral places.
Does anybody have an idea as to a remedy?
Thanks Raymond -

What camera shot the source video?
What format is the source video DV, HDV…?
Which Adobe timeline…CS3 and CS4 Premiere cannot burn a DVD. -
Hi, It was shot with a Panasonic DVX 100A, it’s DV footage, and Premiere Pro 1.5. The audio setting I used was PCM and the audio files come out longer on both ends than the video.

It is likely that you dropped video frames on capture, leaving you with shorter video than audio. premiere should have informed you. Watching the footage should reveal the video problem…repair your computer and recapture.

Not sure droppd frames is a computer repair problem. (Look, I just dropped an “e” in my last sentence!) Dropped frames, I find, usually occur during capture when there is glitch in the footage, which happens from time to time. But this isn’t what Raymond is talking about anyway. His film is already edited, and I assume in sync, prior to the ProCoder conversion. So the issue is bringing back the MPG2 and WAV files back into PPro.
Now I’ve never burned a DVD from the timeline; didn’t even know that was possible. Not in CS3. But I have used Encore, which works great. I’m sure there are less expensive DVD authoring programs (like ULead maybe?) which will take the MPGs and WAVs and pump out a cool DVD. Might be worth the investment if you do this often to eliminate your issue. Plus DVD authoring programs will have many more features to make the final product “more betterer”!
