| 360816 | 2005-06-03 01:18:00 | Hi all. I am using cyberlink to record from my TV's sky box to the computer however the audio gets out of sync. I'm using the 'mic in' on the mother board and a 6600 GT video card for capture. The cable from sky box to computer is 12 meters long and when veiwing on the computer the picture/sound is slightly out of sync and gets worse on the recording. TIA | kiwibits (5574) | ||
| 360817 | 2005-06-03 01:31:00 | Try line in, not the mic input/socket. | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 360818 | 2005-06-03 01:41:00 | Tried that but same problem. The processor (Athlon 3000+) seems up to it could it be the mother board? | kiwibits (5574) | ||
| 360819 | 2005-06-03 01:45:00 | Could be the motherboard, or it could be the Cyberlink program. What are u using? XP? If so, try moviemaker. See if that can capture it properly. Or try Nerovision, now called Nero digital. Altho this isnt free, unless u have a registered version of Nero 6.x. |

| 360820 | 2005-06-03 02:00:00 | Yep I'm using Xp so I'll try movie maker. | kiwibits (5574) | ||
| 360821 | 2005-06-03 02:32:00 | I think virtualdub allows you to get the video and audio back into sync. If you have no luck with movie maker, give it a try. | 4bes (2848) | ||
| 360822 | 2005-06-03 04:17:00 | You could also record both separately, but then manually pull them into sync - using the likes of Movie Maker. | Growly (6) | ||
| 360823 | 2005-06-03 04:45:00 | Could be anyone of a billion issues,from crappy software, poor hardware behaviour,crap sound card, poor drivers, System tasks using resources,messy harddrive,or the latency introduced by the cables . Do the easiyst first,upgrade your drivers and software,Defrag your HD and kill off all background tasks . Then move your comp closer to the skybox :rolleyes: As for virtual dub, It has long been dubbed the holy grail because it monitors the streams and adjusts the capture to keep them in-sync, Guess what . . . . . It doesn';t work with most hardware and when it does is no better then most others, all quality capturing software does its damnest to keep the 2 feeds in-sync . If you want to get real crafty you can De-mux the file (split into video and audio streams) then adjust the sound track to match the video track, then combine them again . Lots of work for a problem better off fixed . I would capture the streams seperatly, Do that will mean nothing is compring them and they will so far out of whack that you will be thinking you love in a city under the sea and your Ma's name is Bob . Sometimes it just comes down to incompatible hardware (with the more expensive vendors giving recomended motherboard combo's to use with their gear) it which case you may have to get a capture card that also does the audio rather then off loading it to the sound card and then trying ti stitch em together . |

Just a note, Where I said " I would capture the streams seperatly" it was suposed to say " I wouldn't capture the streams seperatly" |
