8.0.7.3 vs 8.0.8.5 and Audio Sync issue

[CBR929]

Please try the latest version found here

I have tested it on a few profiles and the A/V sync was perfect.
Thanks Fengtao

Ahh, I just saw the DVD indicator before the thread title.

Regardless, to clear things up: there is an audio sync problem for both DVD and Bluray ripper. Apparently, the DVD sync can be solved by manually selecting the framerate, but with Bluray you cannot do this- so there is no fix at the present time? Do I have it right?

That seems right. I've resorted to going back to 8.0.7.3 and other than a few random problems I'm having not too much of a problem with ripping. In another thread I had started someone had stated that they were aware of a WMV problem (it's broke was his wording) and to stay tuned for an update. That was a month to 2 months ago. I'm hoping there's a fix sooner than later.

You're right, I did not notice you said you were using Blu-ray.

Using the Xbox setting in Bluray Ripper, it only offers me the wmv/10 and mp4/hd settings. Neither of which allow me to choose the framerate- it only allows "same as source." I have seen some other posts that indicate they are not able to select the framerate. What can I do to be able to manually select the framerate?

[Tony Jenkins]

For Bluray Ripper -> Xbox, it only gives me two options:

1) xbox360.wmv.vma10
2) xbox360.mp4.hd

Both only offer "same as source" in the drop down framerate box. It is my understanding that it should offer a number of different frame rates? And from what you mention, I should have more than just two options under Xbox?

To make things even more interesting, I did a test on a blu ray using method #1 above with 2 pass. Like another poster in this forum, pass 1 went smooth and somewhat fast, pass 2 took a really long time, but was able to complete. Playing the completed file on my computer resulted in the audio being out of sync. However, streaming it to my Xbox via Windows Media Center, it was not out of sync. Makes no sense to me... wonder if this is the same for others who have the audio sync issue.

Both of the Xbox profiles should present you a list of framerates with Same as Source as the default. Try the other Xbox profile, the one that says 480p but without multichannel support.

I have just updated to the most recent driver from Nvidia released on 4/18 for my 8800 gtx. I am still not able to select the frame rate- it only offers "same as source." This is using Bluray Ripper with the Xbox 360 profile set to WMV/WMA 10.

I am in the process of trying out DVDfab and like it very much overall, however the audio sync issue would be a deal breaker.

What I want to do is rip my personal DVD and Bluray's to my PC hard drive so I can watch and stream them to two different Xbox's. WMV seems to give me the best performance/ease of use. However, I have encountered the audio sync problem in doing this. I have read that people have been able to select the frame rate within the DVDfab settings. How is this possible? The drop down does not "drop down" for me. All I can select is "same as source." If manually setting the correct frame rate solves the problem- great, I am all in.

Make sure your graphics card drivers are the latest updated version and in common settings-A/V Codec that you have Software selected for all choices.

Now what conversion profile have you tried that will not let you change the frame rate as I not have that problem and can check it out when I have the time

I guess the only option is to wait for the bug to be fixed...

have you got 8.0.7.3 installed aswell? this can be installed alongside 8.0.8.5

i use 8.0.8.5 to copy the disc to the hdd. then i will use 8.0.7.3 to convert from the hdd to the output file. i've not had any av sync issues since doing that

Which frame rate?

So some thread suggested downloading MediaInfo to find the correct framerate. However, this program shows the framerate of the VTS_0x_y.VOB files and I don't know which one has the title I am intereted in (I am converting a TV show with 4 episodes). I see both 23.98 and 29.97 fps depending on which file I look at. It turns out that DVDFab 8.0.8.5 was selecting the 23.98 fps for DVD Rip which was causing the Audio to be out of sync. When I set it to 29.97, the audio was in sync. But, I would hate to have to guess each time what the rate is and then try the other possible rates until I get it right (long process).

I guess the only option is to wait for the bug to be fixed...

ok so I uninstall the latest build, download and install 8.0.7.3. then run as normal but do not adjust any framerate setting, I shouldn't get any audio sync issues?

[Bluefin]

Well all the flaffing around with the latest versions, I've reverted back to 8.0.7.3, all the version since then are unpredictable.

I agree with the other posts here, I don't see why I should be using mediainfo to double checking framerates etc.

Please please get this fixed.

[kaiserpc]

yep, agree with what has been said audio sync in version 8.0.7.3 works fine, and it gets progressively worse in 8.0.8.5 (so by the end of a 90 min film it's off by a few seconds).

In 8.0.7.3 you have the option of setting frame rate to the same as source - this appears to be gone in 8.0.8.5 - it does go to the correct frame rate, 25 in my case - but it just doesn't work for any dvds I convert.

Was hoping to purchase the dvd converter tool this week - but this is putting me off shelling out for it.
