Dubbed?

Post by Pawnslinger »

The other day, I was working on a DVD containing a hour long stand-up comedy, it had been filmed in the US and the comedian was a English speaker. I relate all this because the audio sync was off, and after correction upon playback (my WDTV has a correction factor for audio sync), it appeared as if it had been dubbed! You know how a foreign language film looks when dubbed into English... that is exactly how this looked. The words just didn't look like they were actually being spoken by the performer. I have never seen this before, the correction factor needed to correct was 400ms.

Any ideas why that might happen, or how to avoid it?

Oh yeah, I forgot... the clip play fine on the PC. No issues, it is sync'd fine and doesn't appear dubbed. I guess the effect may be caused by the WDTV live, the correction factor appears to have a 100ms granularity, perghaps it was just slightly off.

Are there any sync discontinuities in the log?

Not sure how to id "sync discontinuities"? The only thing in the log that metnioned "sync" and seemed wrong was:

[18:35:45] sync: got 114944 frames, 114848 expected

I do not know if that is serious or not. But it seems odd to me.

Yes, apparently my hint was a little too subtle.

Don't worry about it. Not that important.
