Lagarith+mp3+handbrake = audio desync

[gendalf]

i've recorded a 2-minute clip with dxtory, using lagarith + mp3 256kbit/s 48khz

using handbrake 0.10 to compress that lossless video to x264
i'm not touching the advanced page, i'm trying different options but it always leads to audio going out of sync
also it resizes it to 1280x716 all the time -_-

argh now it doesn't even save the file properly - it just creates a 0 size file...
whatever i just used media coder and it worked without desync

Lagarith is buggy in libav.
Vbr audio was never meant to go in a VFW wrapper.

UT with pcm audio works, I've tested it.

what is UT

[Deleted User 13735]

Google "UT video codec."
Best of luck.

it says that it's constant:

i've recorded another file without the "Null Frames" option in Lagarith, used constant in everything in handbrake and it worked.. sad part is that without the Null Frames lagarith files are 2x larger.. so it's handbrake not recognising "Null frames"

is there any benefit in using UT?

You are welcome to use your method, or try something I have tested that works, in hopes that it will work for you. UT is not the only codec that works. You can use uncompressed if you are loath to install anything.

-- Lagarith has been buggy in libav. Libav is the decoding library in Handbrake. (Edited)

-- Your interleaved mp3 track is a kludge in vfw; please don't ask me for validation, especially with regard to sync issues

s/encoding/decoding

We do use it for encoding AC-3 audio, MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 video, and as a wrapper for some other encoding libraries (libfdk, libvpx), but that would be unrelated to Lagarith…

[gendalf]

musicvi, well, it is what i've got by rercording in dxtory, not much i can do with how it records mp3 audio i guess, should i record in pcm?

[Deleted User 13735]

You will need to learn the dxtory settings and codec options from their docs and support resources, not here.
Sorry.

Ha! Busted with a perl regex. At least I'm old enough to know what one is . . .
