Pulling video and audio out of ts folder

Hi,
My client wants me to correct a mistake on their DVD. Unfortunately they do not have the original master tapes, leaving me only with a DVD. Does anyone know how I can extract those m2v files with audio so I can work with them in After Effects?
Is their a program out there? Thanks in advance.

Chris, are you sure there's no 'copy protection', CSS or other stuff on the DVD ... i.e.what's its heritage/how was it created etc... ?
when you say 'can't get any other program to recognize these files'.. do you mean mplayerX, mpegstreamclip, VLC, QT, FFMPEGx, Gumby, mediapipe, simplemovie, DVDBackup & similar tools (for the DVD)...as well as QT pro & QT-based tools ? (there are a lot of players, decoders & converters about....
I generally use one tool to go from DVD structures to disk then use different tools on the files according to my goals...
BUT: i think everyone who works with this stuff'd agree that
b we need a hardy, general-purpose 'fix mpegs to compliant' tool for MPEGs on Macs (for use pre-quicktime)
i.e. a decoder/player with a 'pass-through' exporter which allows 'clean data' through
b without
recompressing audio and video because in almost every case where I've had the time to really look at the data, 99% is OK but the data has 'glitches' in it: bunches of binary zeroes from sloppy programming, junk After valid header/data chunks but before the next header from improper 'split & Join routines, lost timecode/data ... and so on... (You'll see 50MB mpeg files that QT info says are 10 secs long at "10MBps"...when they are 30 mins long - at the much lower correct data rate - which seems to suggest that the 'info' is obtained by a bum calculation in QT rather than by ref to info in the file & other headers. When played in VLC, mPlayerX etc. they generally play OK -i.e. for the 30 mins).
The trick is to get the output of one of these into a useable file on disk... without transcoding which is why de-MUXing and remuxing can be a good way to go..many of the tools discard bad data and/or reconstitute correct formats etc. mpegstreamclip is very promising, but it isn't clear just when it's transcoding.. and 'save' and 'save as' seem to often fail due to an apparent programming bug. [e.g. if you input m2v/m2a it'll often fix data & TC Breaks (great work!).. but you have to use 'export to/convert to/demux to for output := even if the target is 'm2v/m2a' same as input, you 'convert to' m2v/m2a.. which is not outstandingly intuitive ... grin
best wishes,

Video and audio out of synch after export

Hello guys,
I have 5 minutes long video on timeline.
1 audio and 3 video layers.
All looks good, but once I export it as QuickTime self contained movie (current settings) to my desktop, video and audio is out of synch.
Any ideas what it might be wrong?
Thank you for any advise.

Hi
Did You Render All - first - before Export
Did You Mixdown Audio - Render Only - last line
What material was used
• Video Codec and fps
• Audio file formats and bit-depth and frequency e.g. .aiff 48kHz 16-bit
• What kind of Project Set-Up did You use e.g. Easy Set-Up - PAL-48kHz

Video and audio out of synch on burned DVD. DVD project appears to be fine. I'm using 1X speed to burn disc. Project info indicates plenty of space. What should I do?

Video and audio are out of synch on some chapters of a burned double layer DVD. The iDVD (7.1.2) project seems to be fine. I'm burning the DVD using a 1X speed. What else can I do to solve this problem. Based on the project information, I have plenty of space relative to the DVD capacity.

Follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

When digitising video gets stuck, then pushes video and audio out of sync

i am digitising from a deck rack, which is hooked up via a patch bay, with 2 J30-1 digi decks and 1 HDV deck. These are all connectable to my mac via some patch cables.
Recently when digitising, really only over the past two days, no matter which deck or tape format I am coming from, the video in my capture window gets stuck on a frame, and ends up capturing this frame until the tape jolts itself out of this frame.
When I review this clip, the video frame will stick, and then the audio is out of sync with it.
This happens on both digi's and DVCams, I am confused as to why this is happening, haven't seen it before.
Any ideas much appreciated
Lianne

not positive, but sounds like a hardware issue.... try going from source to machine and eliminate hardware..if it works...you've got a hardware issue.
i'd test each deck direct. then reconnect it to patchbay...much more intensive, but at least youd eliminate many issues. it might even be a bad cable. i had a similar experience with a bad firewire cable...so maybe you start with the cable running to your machine.....for me i'd go direct and eliminate issues step by step source to capture.

MPEG4 video from imovie is sluggish and audio out of sync

Hi y'all,
I am new to this. So I need some hand holding here. I am working with video that was exported in MPEG4 video from imovie on a mac.
The Camera I used is a Sony FX7 HD camera with SD tape.
So Now I am trying to edit the video using Premiere Pro CS3 creative suite.
Import into CS3 is fine. Playing the imported video in the source monitor is fine as well. All looks well.
However, here are the challenges I am having:
1. When I try to play it in the Program monitor its very sluggish. Audio plays fine but picture lags behind.
2. And once I edit the the video and try to export it as flash video or as a windows media, the video and audio are out of sync.
The video is choppy as well.
Details: source video is 720x480 and trying to export to 320x240
My project details are:
DV-NTSC standard 48khz
Video is 10 min long

OK, not my choice of workflows, but... I assume that the MP4's are H.264 encoded. There are many of these. Three common ones are Lead, MainConcept and Apple. Some find that one works better than the others. These are not the ONLY versions, but are common. You might want to explore others, depending on which one you have installed. G-Spot can tell you which you have.
Next, you can Render your Timeline, to get things as smooth as possible.
Note that the MP4 files are heavily compressed already. Quality has been lost, and there is nothing that can be done about that. When you Export to, say DVD, you will recompress that material, and loose even more.
In the future, have your Mac-person do the Capture to .MOV [Animation CODEC]. Or, do it yourself to DV-AVI Type II w/ 48KHz 16-bit PCM/WAV Audio.
Not sure of any other ways to get the MP4's playing more smoothly. Much will depend on both your CPU and on your system's I/O sub-system, i.e. your HDD's, their size, speed, controller type and how they are utilized.
Good luck,
Hunt

N95 Recorded Video: Video and audio is out of sync

Audio and video is out of sync when I play videos recorded with N95 on my PC. If have used different PC applications to play the video, but all exhibit the same problem.
In the beginning of at video it seems that the audio is about 400milliseconds ahead of the video - you hear the sound first. The different in audio and video is not constant. In a long video (30-50minutes) it is quite unpretictable how video and audio is out of sync in the end.
To experience the problem yourself record a long video sequence with a N95.
1 .Record something where it is easy to see if video and audio is in sync.
2. Transfer the recording to a PC.
3. Play the recording using VLC (www.videolan.org)
Another way to experience the problem is to convert the recording to AVI format at play it in MediaPlayer or WindowsMovieMaker. To convert a N95 video recording to AVI format use Mp4Cam2Avi.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mp4cam2avi/
The video recording settings I use on my N95 are:
Best Quality
No Video Stablisation
Firmware version 21.0.0.16.
I think the video quality of N95 recordings is quite good, so I would really like to be able to view and edit the recorded vidoes on my PC.

You can edit videos on your PC, just converting them to AVI then using any Video Editor on the PC.
Yes while editing separate the audio channel from the clip and reinsert at the begining of the clip. This will minimise sync issues.To get accurate sync increase the timeline so that you are able to the see audio squiggles as a waveform.

ITunes 10.5 video and audio getting out of sync

Hi,
my iTunes videos (bought from the store) are getting video and outio out of sync.
I found some hints to turn options in QT but iTunes 10.5 doesn't use QT - isnt'it?
Any ideas to solve this problem are welcome.
Yours Rüdiger

Hi and welcome to the forum!
First of all, don't convert the file to a MP4. What exactly are the specifications of the MPEG file you are using? It would help to know the frame size, frame rate, and the audio rate.
You most likely placed a 32kHz clip in a 48kHz sequence or vice versa.

Video and audio goes out of sync when imported into Premiere

I have some videos ripped from some DVD that an acquaintance made, with an open source program called HandBrake, with the default "high profile" settings. When I play it both in VLC and in Quicktime, it plays just fine, but when I import it either in Premiere or in After effects, the video and audio goes out of sync (the video ran faster than the audio and when the video stops, the missing audio is trimmed).
Video info according to Premiere (in Spanish but you may get the meaning).

"HandBrake, these days, is almost entirely about H.264 video, aka MPEG-4 Part 10. HandBrake is migrating to quality-based encoding."
Hmmm. I use HC Encoder to make my DVDs because it's the only free encoder I've found with the much more professional Constant Q encoding option. But HC Encoder doesn't do HD sources for Blu-ray, so I've been wondering if I'd be stuck with the lame-*** consumer CBR and VBR options most encoders provide (including Adobe - hint, hint) when I eventually start working in HD. This is a very interesting program, Handbrake. I will have to check it out.

Video and Audio 2 frames out of sync: DVCPRO HD 720p60. Can you help me pl?

Hi,
I'm capturing DVCPRO HD video 720p60 [shooted with a Panasonic VARICAM (AJ-HDC27)].
I'm using a Panasonic AJ-HD1200A videorecorder (by the Firewire port):
on the Final Cut Pro (5.1) timeline, video and audio are out of sync (audio comes two frames before video). Why?
Can someone help me please?
Thanks a lot.

This is normal when capturing DVCPRO HD via firewire. Happens to me all the time. I simply slip the audio back two frames when I drop them into the timeline. Only way to fix this is to get an HD capture card like the Kona LHe or Decklink Extreme and capture the footage via HD SDI as DVCPRO HD. Doing that will eliminate the sync issue.
It is all FIREWIRE's fault...

Video and audio slowly go out of sync

im trying ot make encore dvds the first one I made worked fine but now whenever I make a dvd the video and audio slowly drift apart as it plays.
ive tried converting the audio to AC3 but it did not help. Ive also tried various formats like vob, mp4 and avi.
does anyone have a solution?

This may or may not work but give it a try. I'm not sure what software you used to create the video file that you sent to Encore
but I'll assume that it is Premier CS3 or CS4.
Here's what I would do.
1) output your sequence two ways. a) seperate Mv2 & Audio file, b) One single AVI file. Use media Encoder, DO NOT USE DYNAMIC LINK!
2) Import each one into encore. NOTE: The mv2 file will NOT have to be transcoded.
3) Set each one up on a seperate timeline.
4) Play each time line. See if they go out of sync. If they do, make sure that you perform the following.
5) Place each timeline onto a menu. label each one so you know which is which (i.e., MV2, AVI)
5) Burn the project to an image file (don't waste a DVD).
Next try playing the DVD using a seperate DVD player (NOT ADOBE)
Test each timeline. See if they work or fail.
It sounds like a lot of work but once you know which way works, stick with it!

Importing Video from Video from GV-DV1000 NTSC Sony VTR - Image and Audio out of sinchronization

Hi, I´m using Final Cut Express 10.1.1. and to import video, the Sony GV-DV1000 NTSC. My Operating System is Maverick 10.9.2
When I import a Video, the audio and video is sinchronized but when I start to edit, video and audio are not sinchronized.
The connection from the VTR to the iMac is thru a firewire cable to a thunderbilt cable. There is a way to avoid this problem?
Thanks for your prompt response,
Sincerely,
Alberto Quiros Bonett

We have heard of some capture issues with DV and HDV.
Most users get some success by capturing with QuickTime X.
Try a test.

Video and Audio not synced on .mov file in final cut, but perfect in QT!

I recently just captured a miniDV tape onto final cut. I captured it in 23.98fps. After I captured it and opened it up in final cut's sequence, the video and audio was not synced at all. it's way off and even when i try to move the audio around on the timeline and get one voice synced up, about a minute into the video it's off again.
i tried opening the video in quick time under the captured scratch folder, and when it plays in quick time, it's perfect. there is no sync problem at all. only when i open it in final cut is there a problem.
does anyone know how to fix this or what is going wrong?!
HELP ME

well i mean we recorded it in 24PA, which is what we've been doing for this project of ours. And when we go to capture in final cut we choose the Advanced Pull Down setting. So in the end, our video is in 23.98 fps.
I just thought I'd mention that just to give more details. idk if it's helpful or not

New to iMovie, create live video and audio?

Hello, I am trying to create a video of a live musical performance to post on youtube and have figured out how to use the isight to get a video but can I use the biult in mics to record live audio with the video?

Hello, Nateomite
As Karsten says, you will certainly get better results and much more convenience with a camcorder.
However, if you decide to use your MacBook, the built-in mic can record audio with your video:
in iChat: iChat > Video > Record Chat records both video and audio.
in iMovie: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iMovie/7.0/en/10172.html
tells you how to record using your MacBook's built-in iSight (and mic.)
Other movie/video recording apps may work differently, but most allow sound with video.

How do i start video and audio at the same time in ios

How do i start video and audio at the same time in ios?
I have tried a lot of different ways but i cant figure it out?
I can get the sound and animation (timeline) to start playing.
There is no problem to start the video and the animation at the same time.
But i cant get both the video and the audio to start playing when i press a button.
It works great in OSX and on windows?
Here is an example:
// insert code for mouse click here
// Play an audio track
sym.$("_1")[0].play();
// Play a video track
sym.$("host")[0].play();
// Play the timeline at a label or specific time. For example:
// sym.play(500); or sym.play("myLabel");
sym.play("marker1");

If the game has sound in it (and possibly even if it doesn't) it may be overriding the Music app and causing it to stop playing - in which case there is nothing that you can do about it.

Recording Video and Audio at Same time with simultaneous sync

I want to record a keyboard performance into garageband and at the same time record the playing of that performance with my video camera. Then I want to create a movie using the music from garageband and the video from the camera. I was thinking that if I can sync the video and audio when I'm recording the session, then that part is taken care of. Or, maybe this is easier than I think it is?
Is there a way to do this so that I can use the garageband record performance and have it synced to the video on the camera?
I don't want to use the audio from the video camera because the performance that is captured in Garageband will be much better and I can do editing of the individual notes in GB.
In the end, I just want to make a movie and/or podcast of the performance.
I'm a newbie regarding this, but I did search the forums and couldn't find anything specific. Mostly it was about importing video into GB3 and then syncing new audio. I'll basically have audio and video from the same performance in two separate locations and I want to bring them together perfectly in Garageband.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
Powerbook G4 - DVI Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Okay. I got the video and audio all together. I told you I'd link to it when it was up.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FxssYpUNJm8
There's also a copy of it at http://www.myspace.com/bonjimmy/
And as a quick side comment, even though I uploaded the same video to both YouTube and MySpace, the MySpace version is much better. YouTube must do something to the video after it's uploaded.
What I learned doing this project:
I recorded the video first (which gave me the sequencing of the piano performance) and then I dubbed the audio in later. However, there wasn't a good way to sync the video and the prerecorded piano, so there are some spots where the dubbed audio vocal isn't accurate to the video. I'm not sure what the pros do for this. I was hoping I'd remember how I sang for the video but when a couple weeks go by before re-doing the audio, it's about impossible. I tried, though.
I remember working with an old 4-track and smpte to a sequencer a long time ago. With the way it is now, it's pretty cool that you can record digitally and mix and match and everything falls together perfectly as long as you have a place to match the video and the audio. It's pretty cool.
What else???
Does anyone have suggestions that would have made it better? Also, if you have suggestions on my performance or whatever, I'd love comments, but you can do that on the linked page.
Thanks again for all your help. (The point of the video is because I'm thinking about getting back out there and doing some more playing... I'm looking for a band or something else interesting...)
