I must've installed something or done something to my system that prevents VLC from converting the audio from from the 22050 mono sound in the FLV to either 44100 or 48000 stereo sound for the MPEG. So what if I have to hit play every few minutes to keep the episode going? Ah, but if it were only that easy. OK, so I can't do everything I wanted - I'll just transcode each video and burn em to a disk.
#Flv crunch problem errors movie#
It seems like the codec embedded in VLC is the only one that can successfully convert the movie to a standard format and retain the correct synchronization between the audio and video. This allowed me to read the FLV files directly in VirtualDub, but the synch problems persisted here. I tried VirtualDub, but it couldn't read an FLV without help, so I downloaded and installed ffdshow and flvsplitter. ) I tried the 'MPEG Tools' in a very old version of TMPEGEnc to clip out and merge the files with no luck. (This is confusing to me, as I thought transcoding to an MPEG should have removed the idiosyncrasies of the FLV that caused the problem. I tried MPEGStreamClip (with QuickTime Alternative as a dependency) with no luck - the AV synch problems were back with a vengeance when I'd save the file. Instead of just converting each of them, burning em to a few disks, and being happy, I decided to clip out the excess 15 seconds of the "Heroes - NBC" crap that's at the end of each one and join them into one MPEG2 stream so I could create one title for each episode and multiple chapters per episode. (I use Media Player Classic to test, as I've found it's closest to what I obtain when playing video on my set-top DVD player.) Of course, then I got greedy. The files converted to an MPEG fine without any sort of synch problems. These occurred whether I used 29.97 FPS as the DVD spec dictates or 25 FPS as the FLV is sourced at.

I initially tried using SUPER as I've used in the past to convert stuff - everything seemed to go great until I played back the VOB and noticed SEVERE audio synchronization problems.

The FLV files are in FLV4 format for the video and the audio is encoded as a mono MP3 at 22050 16-bit samples/second. The parents don't want to watch them on a computer screen, so I'm trying to put them on DVD. The short story is that we recorded Heroes on VHS, but my niece got ahold of the tapes with several of the later episodes on before we watched them. I've downloaded some FLV files from NBC.com. (You guys are so good I've never been able to not find what I was looking for until now.) I'm by no means an expert on video, although I'm far from a newbie when it comes to computers. OK, this is my first post here, although I've lurked for quite a while.
