[MEncoder-users] impossible dvd encode? a/v sync problem

[Everett]

I tried this, and it didn't work, but I noticed that you mentioned 
the -fps option, and I tried:

mplayer -fps 30000/1001 title7.vob

and it played perfectly, no de-sync problems.  no warnings of 
framerate changes.  so then I did:

mencoder -fps 30000/1001 -ovc copy -oac copy -aid 128 title7.vob -o 
samurai-jack.avi

IT WORKS!!  

memencoder -fps 30000/1001 -aid 128 -ovc lavc -oac copy -lavcopts 
vcodec=mpeg4 title7.vob -o test.avi

WORKS!!

I guess because the input framerate matches the output framerate 
(mencoder defaults to 30000/1001 on this dvd).  hallelujah!

I understand what you mean about regretting using -fps, though, 
because the dvd plays much smoother without it.  the encoded avi 
file jerks around a lot and I noticed it was duplicating a lot of 
frames as it encoded.  I am satisfied with the results now, though.  
If the a/v syncs, that's what I care about the most.  It's still 
very watchable.  thank you for your input!
