TCM HD 789 audio and video drasticallyout of sync

I reported to Comcast by phone that Turner Classic Movies (TCM) HD channel 789 is wildly out of sync AGAIN (has occurred before). TCM standard def channel 501 is not out of sync nor are any other channels HD or SD. I e-mailed TCM Technical Message Board and advised them. 7/17/2015

Sorry for typos in last posting forgot spell check. Thanks again, StephenL I tried to copy many posts from TCM message Board but this site would not allow me to transmit due to names etc. Maybe you can access at: http://forums.tcm.com/index.php?/topic/54232-tcm-sound-out-of-synch/?hl=comcast

Audio And Video out of sync in Final Cut, but not in quicktime

I heave searched the forums to no end to find the solution to this issue, unfortunatley, I have not solved the problem.
I am using Final Cut 4.5 on a G4 running OSX 10.3.4. This system has worked perfectly for years with no problems. Neither the system, hardware, or software has ever been changed on this machine. Suddenly last week, despite perfect sync while previewing the capture, the Audio and Video were of sync in Final Cut, but when checked in quicktime, there were no problems. That is how I eventually figured out this was a final cut problem.
By out of sync, I don't mean it is by a specific number of frames that can be adjusted and then everything is fine, the sync seems to drift so that if you edit the audio to be in sync in one part of the video, it won't be at the end. Also, it is out of sync from the first frame played, not a gradual drift.
This is definitely not an issue of frame rates or final cut settings as will be evident by the steps I took below to find the source of this problem.
This is what I did to attempt to fix the problem:
- Check drives using disc utility and repair permissions
- Remove Final Cut Preferences using Apple guidelines
- Switch hard drives
- Delete Final Cut and reinstall newer version of final cut (since the capture files played fine on Final Cut 5.1 on another machine)
- reinstall entire OSX 10.3.9, wiping the hard drive and reinstalling Final Cut 5.1
- switch ram slots, and even replace ram with different sticks from another G4 machine
None of these solutions worked. Is there some hardware problem with my G4 that is suddenly causing Final Cut to play audio and video out of sync?
Hope you can help, otherwise this otherwise great G4 is going in the dumpster!
Thanks

For what it's worth, I'm having what looks to be the same problem. Driving me insane. Here's what's going on-
Editing in FCP 6.0.2
QT was just updated to 7.3.1 the other day (hmm)
On an MacBookPro machine, OS 10.5.1
Software updater says everything's up to date of course.
DV-NTSC 24p (23.98) Advanced Pulldown Removal (footage was shot at 24PA on a DVX100b)
In Quicktime, the file previews fine, everything's in sync, everyone's happy. In FCP, the video and audio are wildly out of sync. I did a test inside of quicktime and sliced out a small portion of the media clip and did a "save as" and this small slice played in sync in FCP. However, this did not work for the entire clip. Clip is weighing in at 5.58GB for a 32 minute run.
I'm trying to multicam 2 tapes together and manually syncing these up is proving to be difficult at best. When anyone gets any ideas/leads/patches, let us know.

Audio and video out of sync on short recordings

I've scanned the discussions and see that alot of posters are experiencing
the same problem I'm having which is recording quicktime movies
and getting audio and video out of sync.
In most of those posts the responses seem to be that the problem gets
bad if you're making a long recording. I'm experiencing that, but...
...I'm also having the same problem on really short recordings...less than a
minute. I've coming video and audio out of my cable box, into a SONY DSR-11 VCR, then firewire out of the deck into the computer, recording the movies with Quicktime 7.1.6.
I know it's coming out of the cable box and then out of the SONY deck via firewire in sync because when I log and capture through Final Cut Pro, audio and video are in sync in preview and playback. I don't want to use Final Cut Pro to capture the movies because I want to end up with MPEG4, and I'd have to go through an extra conversion process out of FCP.
Any thoughts on why even short recordings through Quicktime are out of sync?
Thanks.

I'm having similar problems transferring VHS video to Quicktime. Another problem I'm having is when I transfer a VHS video to iMovie and then export the video to H.264 format, I have similar sync problems, even though the iMovie seems perfectly in sync.
I'm going to try to transfer several alternative video formats (video from my cable DVR, Video from live TV, and video from a digital mini cassette to try and figure out whether the VHS format is the culprit. Will keep you posted.

Audio and video not in sync. went back to previously finished projects and they too are not in sync. What could be the problem?

Um ... some useful data?

Why do my audio and video start in sync, then quickly go out of sync?

I've just installed Windows 8 and also purchased Premiere Elements 12.
I've also got Windows movie maker.
When I play my clips in Premiere Elements, they audio and video start of synced, but quickly go out. This doesn't happen with Windows Movie Maker and I had trialed some NCH video editing software also and didn't have that problem.
can someone tell me what I need to do to get this working right?

MASMAS
The first thing that we need to know are the properties of what you are putting on the Timeline. What works in another software does not necessarily work in Premiere Elements. Each program has its own supported formats.
a. What is the file extension for this file? .MOV or .MP4?
b. Does the iPad describe it as 1080p or 720p?
c. If you open Premiere Elements 12 and go to Edit Menu/Project Settings/General, what do you see for Editing Mode, Timebase, Frame Size, and Pixel Aspect Ratio, even if those field appear to be grayed out.
Two immediate troubleshooting avenues are going to be in the direction of...
a. Project settings not set up to match the properties of the source from the iPad. Then we would start a new project and set the project setting manually before importing your video. Details for manually setting the project preset are in the following.
ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE11: Accuracy of Automatic Project Preset (New Project Dialog) Setting
b. The iPad video being recorded with a variable frame rate instead of a constant one...the remedy then would probably be to take your video in a program like HandBrake to change the variable to a constant frame rate. And after that, import the corrected video into the Premiere Elements project which has the correct project preset (preferably set manual to assure the correct result).
Please see what you can put together in the way of video details, and we will sort this out.
Thanks.

Do you have fix for Photo Booth Audio and Video are not syncing properly, Do you have fix for Photo Booth Audio and Video are not syncing properly

My audio and video are not syncing properly. There is a lag from the audio to the video. Does anyone have a permanent fix for Photo Booth where the Audio and Video are not syncing properly?

If you monitor the "More Like This" box (top right), other threads appear. Opening them usually displays other threads. You aren't the only one having this problem.

Audio and Video are not synced up ONLY when viewed in full screen....?

Audio and Video are not synced up only when I view my project in full screen. I can watch it in the project viewer the audio and video play as they should. I have a presentation tomorrow and I can't figure this out. What am I doing wrong?

Have you updated to version 9.0.2 - this Software Update was released a couple of days ago and fixes audio sync problems as well as improving stability in iMovie '11.

Compressor audio and video out of sync

I've edited DV video in FCPX (where audio and video are in sync), sent to Compressor, and added the Dolby and MPEG-2 settings to my submitted job. But when I add the output files to Toast, the audio and video are not in sync. Reviewing the video in Compressor, it appears they are out of sync there as well (though it's hard to tell due to the choppiness of the playback there).
Any idea why this is occurring?

Try filling each gap in the audio timeline AND / OR set your encoding to CBR (Constant Bit Rate), not VBR. In some cases the DECODING part tries to fill gaps by "pulling" the next part of the audio if the stream has been encoded with VBR. Good luck.

Thanks for your reply. Excuse my referring to you as "Kevin". I'm new to the Adobe Community.

Photo Booth Audio and Video not in sync!

I am a YouTube musician. When I go to record I find it easiest to use the video feature in Photo Booth. However, ever since I upgraded to Mountain Lion my audio and video in my videos has been off of one another. They start off together but by the end of the video the audio is ahead of the video. When I went to try and see where it messes up I found that the video jumps frames creating almost a transition effect. I don't know how to fix this and would really like your help!

Audio and video out of sync after converting to mp4

I've tried 3 converters (ImToo, Xilisoft, and Videora) and for 2 videos I really want on my ipod, the audio and video are offset. Infact, on Xilisoft, one wouldn't even convert (to anything ------as both are WMV and I thought that might be a problem--but I found I had another WMV that had the audio matching the video fine). For the other vid., I tried on Xilisoft making it an AVI first, but that AVI also had messed up audio/video
This is a really broad question, but what can I do and what programs can I try to get the videos to convert properly??
(I've tried uploading the wmvs to itunes to have itunes "convery for ipod", but they wouldn't even upload to itunes)
30gb video ipod Windows XP

I have also had similar problems. Unfortunatly i have yet to discover a program that works perfectly. Just keep searching is really all i have to say. However if you do find it, could u please post it

Audio and Video out of Sync in Encore 2.0

Here's my issue:
I opened a project in Encore 2.0 that was an Encore 1.5 project. I have one timeline with a 2 hour movie and the AC3 audio file that goes with it. Encore 1.5 played the audio and video in sync from the timeline and burned discs with the audio in sync. The video is an MPEG2 file encoded at a 3.1 constant bit rate.
In Encore 2.0, when I play the timeline, the audio becomes progressively out of sync as it plays. Within the first few minutes it's maybe a frame or 2 off. By the end of the film it is about 18 seconds off (audio is playing ahead of the video).
Is this a result of Encore 2.0 conforming the audio file? If so, how am I (or anyone) supposed to attain sync between video and audio in Encore 2.0?
I have Encore 1.5 and 2.0 both installed on the same machine. As a test, I opened the project in 1.5 and played it, everything was fine. I closed Encore 1.5 and opened the project in Encore 2.0, and the audio is out of sync.
Any comments, ideas or suggestions?
Mike

Joe,
I tried creating a project with the original WAV file and it's corresponding video and found that the audio and video were still out of sync. I did a little more testing and discovered that the audio is actually being played correctly, it's the video that is not being played correctly. Here's what I did:
I opened the WAV file version of the audio file in Premiere Pro and noted where a hammer hit in the video occurs (01;40;30;28). I then opened Encore 2.0 and imported the video and AC3 version of the WAV file, placed them in a timeline and the audio's hammer hit is right where it's supposed to be (01;40;30;28), but the video's hammer hit occurs at 01;40;43;18.
Next I went into Encore 1.5 and brought in the AC3 audio and video files and placed them on a timeline. I went to 01;40;30;28 in the timeline and the audio and video were both at the frame they should be at that timecode.
Seeing how the video appears to be playing incorrectly, here's some info on my video files:
I have 4 versions of the same film in varying encode rates with the same start and end timecodes. All four files were encoded on a Sonic DVD Creator authoring station using hardware to encode. The files are encoded at the following rates: 2.9 constant bit rate, 3.1 constant bit rate, 3.4 variable bit rate and 4.0 variable bit rate. They are each NTSC with drop frame timecode. All four files play correctly in Encore 1.5 but incorrectly in Encore 2.0.
This almost seems like a drop frame/non-drop frame issue. Do you have any ideas?
Mike

In all your information, I did not see what computer operating system your Premiere Elements 12 is running on? Have you updated 12 to the 12.1 Update, using an opened project's Help Menu/Update? If not, please do so.
Your issue may relate to the details of your "VOB file" and how it was ripped/copied from the DVD-VIDEO and DVD disc to get it into a Premiere Elements project.
a. project preset set for NTSC DV Standard or NTSC DV Widescreen (whichever corresponded to your recording details)...or PAL equivalent.
b. DVD disc in burner tray
c. Add Media/DVD camera or computer drive/Video Importer/.....
It does not happened often, but if audio is out of sync and you are not using the above route, then consider the Command Prompt way described in the
following
ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE: DVD-VIDEO/Seamless VOB Ripping
A just in case note, contrary to some, it is not necessary to convert VOB (VTS_01_1.VOB video file and any files in that series) to any other format in Premiere Elements.
Please review and consider and then we can decide what next.
Thank you.
