ok, i have videos encoded from a promo dvd to an .avi file
i play the .avi and its fine.
as soon as i import it into vegas 5, the sound/video are out of sync.
i have to then ungroup the audio/video and shift the timelines to sync it up.
any ideas????
That's expected when working with mpeg to avi files, particularly if the audio files are .mpeg 2 and not PCM, or if they were AC3 and then converted to pcm.
I'm having a similar problem! I burned a DVD from Final Cut Pro on a Mac, then converted the VOB file to an AVI on my PC and imported it into Vegas 5.0. Unfortunately, the sound slowly starts to lag behind the video until it's about a second and a half off five minutes in.
The odd thing is, the .AVI file plays synchronized fine in Windows Media Player and is synchronized fine in Windows Movie Maker (which needless to say, I would prefer to avoid using if possible). I don't think it's the AVI file that's the problem, I think it's Vegas.
I am at a loss to explain this. I can't import the VOB file directly because I'm only using the demo version which doesn't support MPEG2 imports. Any thoughts, anyone?
