VideoReDo Problem

Version 2.2.1.445

I have an mpg clip in which the audio is out of sync by about 1/2
second. So I invoke "Adjust Audio Syncronization" in the main editor
and it fixes the audio when I play the clip.

I select beginning and ending points, Add Selection and then do a Save
As. However the resulting saved clip does not have the audio in sync.

The Help files claim that the Saved clip should have the audio fixed,
but that did not happen. What is going wrong?

Are you sure you saved to a different filename and checked that new file?

I use the "Cut mode" not the "Selection mode", but why not edit
your clip and "Save As" that. Then load that, by selecting the top
item in the listing on the bottom of the "File" tab and THEN doing
the Audio Synchronization.

Yes. VRD will change the name by adding [2] to the name and I did
check the new one.

I do not want to edit the clip. I want to sync the audio.

I have done this successfully before with an older version of VRD. But
I cannot get it to work with this newer version.

There is something fishy about this clip. It came to me as some other
kind of file type (I forgot which) which I converted to mpg. How do I
get VRD to standardize it so the sync will work.

Then what is this all about: "I select beginning and ending points,
Add Selection and then do a Save As. However the resulting
saved clip does not have the audio in sync." It sounds like you
are saving selected portions of the clip/file you opened in VRD.

You could try what I described in my last post.

If you are saying that you aren't making selected smaller clips
from a larger original file, then just use the QuickFix tool on the
file, and then open the fixed file in VRD, to do the resyncing.

As mentioned I tried that but it did not work. Then I decided to see
what would happen if I did cut the clip a small amount. Then it
worked.

Further experiments showed that you do not have to cut anything off
the end, and the minimum amount that must be cut off the beginning
appears to be 20 frames. I tried to cut just 15 frames but that did
not work.

This is a bug, which does not really surprise me for VRD, because it
is bug-ridden. It won't save properly unless a small amount is cut off
the beginning.

I did not want to do any editing but I had to in order to Save the
clip. Also, the beginning and ending points were the extremes of the
clip. IOW I did not crop the clip.

> You could try what I described in my last post.

Yes, but first I would like to know why the procedure I am using,
which is exactly as specified in the Help file, is not working. If I
am doing something wrong, then changing the method of editing would
not make any difference.

> If you are saying that you aren't making selected smaller clips

That is correct.

>then just use the QuickFix tool on the

OK, I will now try that...

OK, I did that. I QuickFixed the original clip and then imported the
fixed clip into the editor and fixed the audio sync. I played
perfectly on the editor display. Then I Saved As to a third file. But
the sync was still not correct in this third file.

It's as if VRD is ignoring the sync-corrected clip in the editor and
saving the imported file instead.

I did not have this problem before I upgraded. I may have to uninstall
this version and install the older one which I saved on an archive
disk.
