Video speeds up when imported, but audio is normal in PE7

I ripped a DVD on to my computer. It's in a VOB format by default from DVD Shrink. I don't know if I can change the format and I don't know if it would help. It's not being compressed in DVD Shrink, so I don't think that is the problem. I open the VOB file in PE7 and it's like the video is on fast forward, but the audio is at a normal pace. If I try to open the file in PE3, the video is jittery and jumps around, but the video isn't faster than the audio.
The frame rate in PE7 is 29.something, whatever it's at normally. I thought it was DVD Shrink causing the problems, but I tried DVD Decrypter as well and got the same results. Any ideas on how to make the video slow down?
Sorry in advance if someone has asked this already and I just failed to find it. I just upgraded to PE7 and it's been giving me problems all weekend. I'm a complete idiot when it comes to technical video stuff, so I might not have any idea what you're talking about if you attempt to tell me how to fix it.

A couple of things here to hopefully clear the air.
If the DVD content is store bought, then more likely than not, it is copy-protected. The typical encryption used is CSS (but there are many flavors around).
Using DVD-Shrink, or DVD-Decrypter, will remove encryption and rip the VOB's to your hard drive. The only difference for your purposes between the 2 programs is that Shrink will rip and compress content to fit on a 4.7gig DVD disc, while Decrypter will rip with no compression.
Once a ripped VOB is on your drive, see how it plays with Windows Media Player, or whatever Player you use on your PC to view DVD content.
If it's broke at this point, importing to a Video Editor buys you nothing.
If it works okay, use Prism (Or Power Director) to convert the VOB's to DV-AVI, then import the converted file to PE7.
Use this link from our FAQ's to get Prism for File conversions:

If you can convert to DV-AVI, then this will eliminate all the strange stuff you are experiencing with VOB's.

  • Lost sync video speeds up when importing files AVI and MP4

    I record my boss from a closed circut CATV system on a DVD.  Then I transfer the VOB file to my hard drive and convert it with MPEG Stream Clip 1.2b2 using the following settings
    Codec Apple DV/DCVC Pro - NTSC
    audio - uncompressed
    resolution 720x480 DV/NTSC
    It usually works like a charm, in the past I have been able to drop it into Premiere 7.0 or CS4 and edit away.  But today I am having this problem no matter what I do.  The video runs at 2x to 3x normal speed and the audio runs at the regular pace.  Needless to say it is out of sync.  I've tried rendering as an MP4 and Quicktime with the same issue.
    I've rebooted my comuter.  I don't understand why it worked before and not now.
    Any advice would be apprecieated.
    A real timesaver would be an update to CS4 that allow you to drop a VOB file into the timeline.  It seemed like such a basic file format, and Adobe's pitch for CS4 said it handles almost all video formats, so I didn't even bother to check before I bought.  Got what I deserve.
    Oh, I am editing on a Toshiba tecra laptop.  Plenty of RAM and a good processor.
    Thanks

    VOB files have their own issues.
    To start, they usually are just one part of a video program that contains several .vob files.  Any video program on DVD longer than about 30 minutes will usually be made up of multiple .vob files.
    Then there is the issue of the file structure itself.  VOB files don't just contain the video and audio content - they also contain lots of non-media data that provide instructions to the DVD player on how to deal with the media content contained in the file.  The best solution is to strip away that extra data before working with the file(s) by ripping the DVD.  Otherwise, you are relying on your editing software to properly ignore the extra data.  Even dedicated MPEG2/DVD/DVDR editing programs like VideoReDo and Womble have trouble with some .vob files from time to time.
    So the bottom line with .vob files is that they sometimes work, sometimes they only work after a file extension change, and sometimes they won't work at all.  Your best bet when re-purposing DVD video is to rip the DVD into usable, editable files.

  • Video Squished Vertically When Imported.

    Howdy!
    This is my first go with iMovie, and I've noticed that my videos are squished when imported into iMovie.
    The original .dv file is 648x480 (4:3) with letter boxing built into the vid. When I import into iMovie 4:3 it appears to be squishing it vertically.
    You can see what I mean here:
    http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/115943/Picture%201.png
    Changing the project to 16:9 makes the issue worse.
    What can I do to make sure the video doesn't get squished?
    Thanks in advance!

    I'm going to have to test this out, because I've wondered how iMovie '09 would deal with DV. I think it has something to do with unsquare pixels (DV uses them, Apple Intermediate Codec—which iMovie '09 "converts" clips to sometimes—uses square pixels.
    Perhaps if you edit the video as-is, looking that way (squashed down), and export it with custom settings within Quicktime (not just using iMovie's default export feature) that you can squish it back into shape? As long as all the clips are consistently squished or squashed, then I think it might work . . . we'll have to see.

  • Xha1 24F footage Video plays fast but Audio is normal. PPro 2.0

    Hey Gang, I am having some trouble with my 24f footage from my xha1 into PPro 2.0. I have installed the canon F presets and imported footage using the 24f setting but when I play it back in the timeline my video/audio is out of sync. Even when I export it nothing changes. My video is playing to fast, but my audio is normal. I have played around with unlinking footage and trying to find the correct video speed, with no luck. I have also tried using the footage on 30f timelines with no luck either.
    I have looked around for the answer but nothing of this particular issue has come up.
    Any thoughts?
    Much appreciated.

    Apart from the much better job done by freeware like HDVSplit or shareware like Scenalyzer, than has ever been delivered by Adobe for $$$, it is worth noting that all HDV cameras, like the H1, A1, G1, Z1 and all the other models available, have one thing in common. They all use a tape recording mechanism.
    People often forget that this tape mechanism runs at a pre-defined speed, enabling 50Hz (PAL) or 60Hz (NTSC). Nothing else. Even if you set your camera to 24P or 24F or whatever other settings are available in the camera, the tape speed is not changed. The tape runs at the same speed regardless of your camera settings. Keep that in mind when capturing.

  • Video source sync when imported in fcp loses sync

    Hi
    I have an issue I can't figure out:
    When played in Quicktime player (format hdv60i) the video and audio are in sync but when imported in Final Cut Pro 7, they lose their sync.
    I made my sequence to the exact specs as the original movie file and tried different settings but it is always out of sync.
    Another thing, in FCP 7 the movie file does not want to play until the end but when I tried to make a Pro-Res 422 LT version, the out of sync issue remain but now the file play from start to finish.
    I am speechless...
    Anyone help???

    Hi,
    I made my sequence to the exact specs as the original movie file
    What are the specs of the original file please.

  • Video motionless but audio running normally

    When I play the sequence the video is still while the audio runs normally. When I stop, the video jumps to the stopping point.

    Hi Ruth
    I'm guessing that you are reporting these settings as per what is shown when you look in the Easy Setup window ... but it does not tell us what format the source footage you are using in your sequence is (for that you need to select a clip instance in the timeline and press Cmd-9, then report the format details displayed), nor does it tell us what are the active sequence settings in your current sequence (for that, with the sequence open and the sequence window active, you need to press Cmd-zero and then report the settings details displayed). Given all those details then its likely someone will be able to help you.

  • Timecode Break Issues when Importing, but plays back in camera fine?

    Hello,
    I am having several timecode break issues. The tapes play fine on the camera in "playback" mode but once I try to import through firewire into final cut express it gives me multiple clips. I have tried using Imovie and QuickTime Pro for importing the footage. Imovie gives me delays in the footage and so does QuickTime Pro.
    Why am I getting timecode breaks when importing through final cut express, but then it plays back fine in the camera? I am using a Macbook pro with Maverick and a Sony HVR Z5U camera.
    Any helps would be great. The footage is in DV.
    Thanks

    Why am I getting timecode breaks when importing through final cut express, but then it plays back fine in the camera?
    Because the camera basically ignores the timecode when you just play back a tape in the camera.  While it may display the TC on the LCD screen as the video plays, the camera really doesn't care about TC during plain old playback.  However, with 3 different apps all encountering problems capturing the video, it would appear there are actual TC breaks.
    Questions
    Is this a problem with one or a few specific tapes, or all tapes you try to capture from?
    Also, the HVRZ5U is an HDV-DVCAM-DV camcorder ... are you downconverting HDV material to DV?
    Do you have *ANY* other FW devices connected to you Mac when you try to capture video from the camera?
    In FCE, you might try using the DV NTSC DV Converter easy setup, which ignores timecode, instead of the default DV NTSC easy setup.

  • ITunes adds duplicate songs when importing but not making copies in the iTunes Media folder?

    This is an irregular problem and does not happen at every new import, but every now & again iTunes is creating duplicate files entries for the same song when I import my music folder.
    Now I know many people post a similar problem, but before we start can I state that both the 'Keep iTunes Media folder organized AND "Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library are  turned off, and always have been.
    Right clicking on duplicates of a particular song proves that iTunes is not copying the file into it's own media folder and adding that to the library.
    All listed entries for a particular song iTunes direct you to the same file in the same location in the finder.
    I am currently just having to delete the duplicates everytime it makes them, although this is VERY time consuming!
    Any ideas on what is causing it or what will fix the problem would be great!

    Nevermind...I figured out my issue. The problem is that I'm an idiot.
    When dragging my folders in, they not only had MP3 files, but a M3U file as well. iTunes was importing the M3U playlist, then the MP3s...that's how I was getting my dups.

  • Sound is out of sync in iMovie and video freezes at a part but audio continues. How do i fix this???

    Can someone please help me. I have even tried the youtube videos and can't seem to get the sound to sync up on my videos in Imovie. Also, one part just stalls and stays on the same frame but the audio continues on fine.
    I NEED HELP!!! This is for school and I can't hand this in all wacked out

    44100 Hz is fine and the audio codec is fine. Most camcorders record at 48000 Hz, but audio CDs are recorded are 44100 Hz, and iMovie handles them well.
    However, your video frame rate is an odd number. A camcorder in the US will usually record at 29.97 frames per second. In Europe, the standard is 25 fps. On some cameras, you also have the option of 24 fps (same as a Hollywood movie).
    Your camera is recording at 14.89, which is about half of the 29.97 standard. I am guessing that the video is from a webcam or maybe a cell phone or still camera.  It is difficult to sync audio over long periods of time if your video is not conforming to the standards. Cameras like this may record at varioable rates, so sometimes you get more than 14.89 and sometimes less. Your best bet would be to make an iMovie project at 29.97 fps, so that it will basically repeat each frame of your video twice to get up to 29.78 fps. Even so, it will drift out of sync over time.
    If you had Final Cut Pro X, you could use the tools in FCP to conform your video and audio to a 29.97 timeline and probably keep it synced better. Long term, your best bet is to use a camcorder that can shoot 29.97 (or 30) fps.
    Short term, I would suggest keeping your clips in your project short. For your 15 minute clip, drag in the first minute, then the 2nd minute, etc. untill you have it all. Even so, it may drift. Detaching audio is probably not necessary.

  • Speed variations when importing in iTunes

    I'm using iTunes on a HP desktop.  When importing a CD, sometimes it will do it it very quickly (26x), and other times very slowly (4x).  I'm curious why that would be the case?  The CDs are part of a multi-disc collection, so it would seem that the disc manufacturer is the same for both CDs.

    Wow - this was a crucial find for me. I just converted to Win7 64bit with a fresh install of all programs including iTunes. When I went to import my library I checked the "Keep iTunes Media files Organized" not knowing exactly what the impact would be. I found out that it completely re-wrote the native folder and filenames in different scenarios (in windows explorer). Once a file was imported into iTunes it hated special character like hyphens or commas ultimately converting them to underscores. Itunes also combined some albums into a single album/folder like Elton John's Greatest Hits 1970-2002 instead of keeping 2 seperate albums for each disc. Other scenarios I was experiencing was basically rewritten incomplete album names. With nearly 40,000 songs (485GB) on my hard drive (8000 songs on my ipod) it was extremely painful to see names being changed without rhyme or reason.
    Simply unchecking both of those boxes got me back to my naming and filing conventions. Essentially back to good with no further conversion of special characters or file names.
    Unfortunately now I am going back and re-correcting all of the folders and files that were changed under the "checked" settings. Much happier with the organization of the database now.
    Thanks for sharing the note.

  • No dialogue box when importing hdv into fcp, normal?

    I'm using a Canon Vixia HV40. When I import into FCP no dialogue box appears, just a small box that lets me name the file and import. I am choosing log and capture.
    It will then import but without showing any progress and I have to press the quit button first to view the clips.Is this normal for HDV importing? I'm new to HD.

    Can I use a capture card with an iMac?
    No...sorry.
    Do you happen to know what setting to use when I capture from native 24p. Which Pro Res setting do I use?
    I don't. The one time I did capture ProRes in the manner you are, the tape was 1080i60, so it was pretty standard. Now..."native" 24p...you can't get that on tape. Impossible. NATIVE means that it was recorded at 24fps (running at 23.98). Tapes don't do that. They run at 30fps (29.97). So how the HV40 does it records 24fps onto a 30fps tape, and you need to remove that pulldown when you capture.
    HOW? No clue. I don't work with that format. Even if you captured at 29.97, you cannot remove pulldown after the fact with HDV...the GOP format prevents it. You first need to capture as ProRes, THEN remove it...or....
    I see an HDV 1080p24 Firewire Basic option, and an HDV-Apple ProRes 422 1080p24 option. What do those get you? Oh, what version of FCP?

  • Uploaded video plays at twice normal speed, but audio plays normally

    I am able to upload video from Panasonic Lumix camera to iMovie08, but video plays back at twice normal speed.  Meanwhile, audio plays back at normal speed.  I posted a video on iTunes just to see if the problem remained and it does.  How do I fix this so video plays at normal speed?

    Like I say, there are two 24 modes on that camera. Is your sequence set up for 24fps or 29.97? Whichever one it is, try the other and see if it makes a difference.
    What were your capture settings? You need to clarify that you've captured correctly (I'm not sure whether it's possible to capture 24fps material incorrectly as I've never tried).
    The basic thing you need to do is determine whether you shot native 24 or 24 converted in camera to 30, and work forward from there.

  • Video lost in iMovie Event but audio retained after upgrade

    As a result of upgrading from iMovie '09 to '11, a video I had as an event now shows only as "green screen" video. Audio is still intact, however. But video is gone - literally just a green screen.
    When I go into Finder and view the file, I can see both video and audio in the little preview window. I've tried ripping the video again using Handbrake and re-importing it, but still the same thing: green screen with audio.
    Any suggestions?

    Handbrake converts to MPEG formats, which are best avoided in production because of the way the media is encoded. They're great for delivery, which is what Handbrake is designed to do, convert media into delivery formats for iPhones, iPods, AppleTV.

  • No video playback on Blu-Ray (but audio is there)

    I'm having a quirky issue with the Blu-Rays I'm burning for a client.  The SDTV (16x9) burns are perfect, however when I reset Encore CS4 on Vista premium (32bit os) 4GB ram 64-bit processor to make a blu-ray the longest timeline (1:37:25:00) plays audio only under a black frame.  All other HDTV files (1080i HDV original) play fine including one SDTV (4x3) file.  I have rebuilt project from scratch with identical results. all files were imported from Premiere ok and were transcoded to MPEG-2 NTSC @ 1080i High Quality for Blu-Ray output.  (I chose MPEG-2 as it is basically identical to HDV record format)  Preview plays fine on desktop as does the BD-RE disk, but on PS3 and set top player I get no video over audio for the one longest file only, and it happens each and every time.

    OK, I thought the solution was:
    Option "OverlayOnCRTC2" "on"
    But apparently that is deprecated and I need to use:
    xvattr -a XV_SWITCHCRT -v 1
