  • un-syncroniced mp3 sound…?

    Hi

    I browsed the forum to solve my problem, but all I learned was, that there can be a problem with mp3 sound and Vegas.(?)

    I have ripped a piece of a dvd and have got a videofile (videocompression: DivX codec – sound: MPEG3 Layer3 192kbps) It plays fine in Win. Media Player but when I open it in Vegas the sound is not syncronised any longer (Vegas tells me: ‘an error accured while opening a codec’ and it cannot show audiopeaks) – So far I have splitted, adjusted, splitted adjusted aso.. to make the sound fit (almost) But that’s a bit irretating!

    Can I change something in Vegas? Do I miss a codec on my computer? (if – where do I…) Or…

    How about if you rip the DVD back into its original MPEG2 (Or simply use the File – Import – DVD Camcorder Disc option) instead of taking it into a more highly compressed (and unsupported) DivX format?

    Thanks – so far

    I didn’t know I was actually able to open the dvd (vts_ifo and vts_vob) right into Vegas, but unfortunately it wont bring me the subtitles… (and it makes editing slow because it’s not on the HD)

    and…

    When I try to import through ‘dvd camcorder disc’ I’m not able to choose the specific file, only, say D: “dvd-title” and all I get then are the trailers and stuff before the actually movie. (though I was able to choose in the “video_ts directory” I think I would miss my subtitles still!?)

    What I can do, though, is to ‘open’ the sound-file and use together with my DivX-file (including subtitle) – but it’s still a long way.

    Did I do something wrong or will there be a third way (I just need subtitles in my danish context)

    One way that will always work: Turn on subtitles on your DVD player, connect the player to a convertor via S-vid/rca, connect the convertor to the computer via firewire, push record on the computer and play on the DVD player and capture into a standard DV-AVI file. This will give you the video in a very editable format and let you see your sub-titles (although you will NOT be able to remove the sub-titles.)

    Well that may be the best option in my situation.

    Off cause… I don’t have an extern dvd-player, but that’s pretty cheap these days – and that will give me the best editable format with subtitles…

    Thanks a lot.
