DVD Ripper sub titles out of sync when direct rendered

[Xymox]

I use DVDFab all the time to rip DVD's with no problems at all. Its a great tool. However I have run inot a weird issue.

The subtitles on ripped file end up way ahead of the movie. Like 5-8 seconds.

Playing the DVD on a TV or on a computer works great the subtitles are dead on timing..

I am ripping to .wmv. I am doing a double pass conversion. It effects all resoultion settings and I always use the highest setting. Ive tried various audio bit rates.

Nothing I do seems to effect the problem.

I tried the current stable version, the current beta and also went back to 7.093.

I do lots of other discs with subtitles with no issues with the exact same settings.

Most odd...

Any suggestions ?

Hi Xymox,

Please use "1-pass" encoding, set all the video decoder options and video encoder options as "Software" in Common Settings->General->A/V Codec , then convert again to see the result.

When you do conversion task with DVDFab, please disable all the other background tasks in your windows task manager.

I will try one pass encoding.

I run a "hardware profile" in XP that has all non-used services stopped. I run zero additional programs. I also carefully make sure nothing else starts via reg settings or startup. Typically I show 26 processes in task manager and run at 129MB of ram before starting DVDFab. Im running on a 3.4Ghz machine with a RAID0 dual set of Western Digital Raptors and 2 GB of high performance ram.

Its a fast, clean and stable machine.

I have read on this issue and it seems others have had a similar problem with some discs just like I do.

I am currently encoding a avi.audiocopy with seperate file for subtitles. If that stays in time with the subs then I then may use that to create a single file with rendered subtitles.
