Thanks Gary! “Why” is always a good question to keep asking oneself, and you raise a good point about the acquisition happening at 8 bits…

Hi Noah,

My sources were –

Video: Digibeta captured into FCP as a 10:2:2 Uncompressed, then reverse telecined using Adobe AE into a 23.976 quicktime file

Audio: DA-88 tracks (from Dolby 5.1 mix) captured into AIFF files

FCP PLAYBACK IN SYNC: I sync both in FCP using a sync point, and then when I play it in FCP, they are in sync and play in sync.

DVD:

MPEG2 – I export the video track (using in-out points) and use BitVice to encode it to mpeg2 using the 23.976 with flags option.

AC3 – I export each individual Audio track (using same in-out points), take them into Compressor as a surround group, and get an AC3.

I marry the two in DVD Studio Pro and when I play it back, that’s where the sync issue seems to happen.

Question: I was told there’s no question of timecode in a situation like this. Am I missing something?

Thanks!
Nikhil

Got the response below from Roger at the innobits forums. Reproducing here to close out this thread… this info below did the trick!

>The DVD spec requires MPEG-2 video flagged as 29.97 fps. This is accomplished by using the 2:3 pulldown option.
>Choose the frame rate in BitVice to be 23.976 with 2:3 pulldown.
>You must deselect “Interlaced Input” first, otherwise this menu item will be dimmed and not selectable.

>That’s all, everything else seems OK.

Additional info:

The footage is film-originated, and is 16:9.

Bitvice version 1.7 (just got it a few days ago!)
DVD SP v 4.0.3

Thanks,

In case anyone else runs into this —

Ensure only one track is turned on at a time.
Use Export -> Using Quicktime Conversion, then select AIFF and in options select MONO

Thank you! That did the trick for me.
