Here's one for you. I would appreciate some help/advice.
I have VF 1 and 2. I have VV3. VF 1 has been using the Ligos MPEG plugin for a long time with no problem. When I upgraded to VF 2 and tried to use the MPEG encoding it was during the MPEG change over at SF and it would not register. During that period, yesterday, I upgraded to VV3 which will be a nice addition to my NLE group and I am pleased with it. Now things are geting a little wierd.
SF sent me the new codes to activate the VF 2 MPEG at the same time I loaded up VV3. I also installed Batch Converter. Here is what happened. VF 2 activated the MPEG plugin; LIGOS. Batch converter fired up with LIGOs. VV3 has both LIGOS and Main Concept MPEG plugins that I can chose from. They all work fine to encode. I guess I should be considered lucky since so many can't with VF can't get any MPEG Plugin working.
Now here's the rub. When I play MPEG files with Windows media player, the video is slow and the audio is normal. That means within 5 seconds the audio and video are out of sync. I checked WMP and it is now using the LIGOS decoder. The files are in sync because I can play them back with Power-up and they play perfectly. I have checked the formats of the files and they are MPEG 1, so that should not be the sync problem with WMP.
It is unfortunate that installation of one piece of software can foul up the operation of another, but that is Windows. If I could redirect WMP to use it's normal MS MPEG decoder again that would solve the problem, but I can not find anyway to configure that. I can not find the LIGOS CODEC in the Windows CODEC list to map around it either. I have fresh installed the WMP hoping it would take over in a new install.
Any suggestions? Oh the OS is Win 98SE. This makes it a pain to view any completed MPEG piece no matter where I encode it.
