[solved] A/V out of sync 2-3 seconds from beginning

[python]

Hi,

If I dump an MMS stream to an AVI file, for instance

Code: Select all

vlc mms://apasf.apa.at/cms-worldwide/2011-02-10_2245_sd_01_WILLKOMMEN-OESTERREI_____1923785__o__0000490525__s1930973___ch_ORF1HiRes_22434517P_23292819P.wmv --sout file/avi:willkommen.avi

A/V is out of sync 2-3 seconds if I play the result using MPlayer. VLC produces almost no sound at all. How can I fix this? And what is the reason for the sync problem? If I play the stream directly, A/V are in sync. But I need a dump because I need to recode the stream using Handbrake.

How can I dump the stream to a file without sync problems?

Greetings
Chris

Do not use .avi for this. Dump it in .wmv

[python]

Thanks for your reply.

But unfortunately this won't work. VLC aborts:

Code: Select all

$ vlc mms://apasf.apa.at/cms-worldwide/2011-02-10_2245_sd_01_WILLKOMMEN-OESTERREI_____1923785__o__0000490525__s1930973___ch_ORF1HiRes_22434517P_23292819P.wmv --sout file/wmv:willkommen.wmv VLC media player 1.0.6 Goldeneye [0x8547148] main libvlc: Running vlc with the default interface. Use 'cvlc' to use vlc without interface.

[python]

I got it working using file/asf as output type instead of wmv.

However, the sync problem still exists if I continue processing through a video encoder.

If I stream into a Theora video, using VLC, instead of dumping, A/V is out of sync too. What am I doing wrong here?

[python]

For those who are interested in how I eventually solved this problem:

It works this way:

Code: Select all

vlc mms://apasf.apa.at/cms-worldwide/2011-02-16_2230_sd_02_WELTJOURNAL_____1942683__o__0000498433__s1949421___al_ORF2HiRes_22311209P_22595205P.wmv?SAMI=http://tvthek.orf.at/assets/1297895402/orf_segments/sami_file/1949437.smi --sout-transcode-audio-sync --sout file/asf:/tmp/weltjournal.wmv

Now, if I transcode to M4V, A/V stay in sync.

--sout-transcode-audio-sync seems to be the magic option... Quite easy, actually, but it took me several hours to figure it out...

könntest du mir bitte kurz die entsprechenden Einstellungen fürs GUI dazu durchgeben.

• Streaming/Transcoding Wizzard
• Transcode / Save to file
• Select Stream: [1942683-Weltjournal.download.asx]
• Transcode video: Codec ???
• Transcode audio: Codec ???

Ich würds gerne auch auf OSX/iOS abspielen, aber MP4 kommen bei mir immer ohne Ton raus.

vielen Dank,
