PS23U - Audio & Video Sync

    PS23U - Audio & Video Sync

    I am having audio and video sync problem in imported VHS file.

    I assumed the problem was a lack of file frame rate uniformity.

    In the timeline, I separated the audio from the video and adjusted all the audio with the lip movement of the images.

    I exported the edited file and the result was as bad as it was before adjusting, with the lip movement of the image coming in before the audio.

    Anyone have any idea if I can fix this?

    Thanks.

    Note.

    I recently migrated from W7 to W10. With W7 I never had this kind of problem.

    The hardware is exactly the same and is CPU and memory free.

    I have also observed that every time I stop the cursor on the timeline, it changes a bit of frame position.

    Has anyone ever experienced this?

    I'll start in reverse. No, I have not had the cursor change whenever I stop it on the timeline.

    As for VHS tapes, when I first started editing with the Amiga/Toaster using SVHS, I used TBC's (time base correction) to keep the framerate stable. Tapes have a tendency to "drift". TBC's kept them locked.

    Ok.

    But why does sync run away again even after it's fixed in editing? I'm on tape number 11 with W10, and in the first 10 I had never had it with W7.

    I had to install PS23U again. I've seen all the possible settings and I have nothing to suspect.

    Try one of the previous tapes that worked.

    Also, how are you getting the tapes into you computer?

    Hi Tony,

    I scan them into a USB flash drive with the International KDV-8000 and then transfer the file to the desktop. 
     
    The result is very good and clean, but when I play on the computer and especially on the PS23U, I notice that the image flickers a little.

    Then I convert the file to AVI in the Any Video Converter program to create a new file within the defaults. It looks great and the edits are always good.
     
    I still don't know if I had an exceptional problem with this tape or if it could be something else on the PS23U with W10. That's why I opened the question.

    I haven't worked with tape in years, so can't comment on using PS23. Maybe someone else can. But when you convert, is the video converted to a constant frame rate? Usually, OOS issues occur with there is a variable framerate video.

    Maybe.... convert the AVI to MP4 with HANDBRAKE which is free. In the video tab, tick Constant framerate.

    Could be an usefull info to get if you could post a screenshot of what Mediainfo say about your files ?

    Tony,
    of course, my digitized video didn't have a constant frame rate. That's why I converted it to AVI.
     

    Saby,
    follow MediaInfo from the AVI file I'm editing.

    xvid, odd choice to digitalize analog footage.

    Sorry, I forgot to mention that the most usefull Mediainfo view was the tree view, not the summary. Would you provide it ?

    Re: PS23U - Audio & Video Sync

    Saby, I did not scan in xvid. The xvid was the converted file, which eliminated screen blur and which I used to edit.

    I experimented with some codecs and xvid turned out to be an interesting quality x size cost.

    Follow in tree view the MediaInfo of the files, scanned and converted.

    The converted.

    Re: PS23U - Audio & Video Sync

    The video framerate is variable around 30 fps, while the audio framerate is very unusual and different 46.875 fps. Not surprising to get sync issues.

    Re: PS23U - Audio & Video Sync

    Really. I expected MediaInfo to treat audio as Sample Rate, which in this case is 48KHz.

    I think Frame Rate was used in audio because Drop Frame occurred in the scan.

    I would have to think more about it.

    Re: PS23U - Audio & Video Sync

    Right now I'm converting the scanned file with the HandBraker program that Tony indicated.

    Re: PS23U - Audio & Video Sync

    Hi guys.
    I reopened the case, to give you a hint and say that I solved the sync issue in editing with the PS23U.
    I had said that I fixed lip motion with audio in editing, but later, when I exported the file, everything was still out of sync.
    I began to suspect that the program didn't respect detach audio mismatch if I slowed the audio sideways. In my case, I shifted it to the right (delayed). When rendering the project on export, the program would bring the detach audio back in place, matching it with the image clip.
    I thought, I thought, and if that were so, I could fool him.
    I placed a pasted background block before the delayed audio so as not to allow it to return to its place. I extended this background to the left until it was in an edit cut.
    Bingo! I was able to make the program respect what I got right in editing. The end result of the exported video finally came out as I wanted.
    I will close the case. Thanks to all who have gone out of their way to help.

    Glad to hear that you figured out the problem and was able to export without sync issues!!
