Multi PGC's - Audio Sync problems using IFOUPDATE , MAESTRO guides 

Hi all , well i am sure this has been touched on , but i cant seem to find the correct fix. Disk has the extra's in VTS_8_x , has 16 PGCS in it , do the DVD2AVI , CCE , Ifoupdate to get chapter points, author with Maestro , place 16 playlists in ,put in the chapter points ( 32 chapters, 2 in each PGC) , put into Maestro , compile, and use Ifoupdate get IFO corrected for new compressed VTS , clips looks great, all the correct chapter points , works from menu's etc. HOWEVER , the audio is way out of sync after PGC 3. Tried using create sync audio , before compiling , but no change in result. Not sure what to do next , any help Regards & thanks

I wonder if we couldn't use the old 29.97fps SVCD method. You lose some quality (more frames to encode) but also avoid the headaches!

It probably wouldn't help. Look and see if there is any audio in the track you've chose in PGC3... Sometimes the track will be empty (there may be audio on another track) and it will cause the loss of sync.

I'm having audio synch problems too... I'm trying to author Full Metal Jacket it looks really easy its only 4 pgc's Playlist 2 PGC1 Main Movie starts at 00:00:17 Playlist 1 PGC2 Starts at 00:00:00 Playlist 3 PGC3 Starts around 1:54:06 Playlist 4 PGC4 Starts around 1:56:25 I copy whole dvd to HD run dvd2avi on it then encode it with cce run delay corrector on ac3 file run pulldown create 4 playlists in maestro and drag the appropriate chapters to each playlist author and sound out of synch is there anything im doing wrong?

If you run into one of the multiple PGC movies that have PGCs with no audio -- you can't use the Maestro Multiple PGC method to copy the DVD. The output from DVD2AVI just doesn't handle empty sound in PGCs very well... I would suggest you try the DoitFast4U method on these. It breaks out the PGCs individually for you. You'll need ReelDVD or Scenarist to do it that way though...

Nooo not scenarist :) heheh tried to avoid using it guess I cant anymore. Ill try using this method... So from now on if I see a multi PGC movie that has no time in it I cant use the ifoupdate/maestro method Ill have to use scenarist?

I'm working on a way to get around it, something along the lines of tricking the system into placing them at the end of the stream in a fake IFO before you run DVD2AVI... The Maestro method is just so damned easy I hate to ever do anything else. I'm also working on a way to handle the streams at the cell level (I'm almost done with that) so it can work with the recent rash of PGCs that have repeated cells/sectors throughout them.

That sounds like a winner to me :) I think I can wait for you to finish :) hehe I was just looking at the trilight guide for multi pgc and scnearist looks like a bitch. Since full metal jacket (version i got from my bro) doesnt have a menu Ill just rip the main movie pgc and encode that and burn and move on the some more dvd's but when I run into another multi pgc ill check back here to see what updates you have :) Thanks again jdobbs
