[solved] Ripping DVD to AVI - audio out of sync

[doctordruidphd]

I don't work with DVDs and videos a lot, so I don't know the fine points. This is a privately made DVD (so no legal issues) that I want to rip to watch on my zen vision M, which wants an .avi file with xvid video and mp3 audio.

I have been using DVD-rip, and it seems to work, except that in the final avi file, the audio is several seconds ahead of the video. I have tried several settings, none of which I know anything about, and the out-of-sync varies from about 4sec to 7sec ahead.

Any ideas what I am dong wrong here?

probably can't help, but have you tried avidemux or maybe k9copy? Curious to what you find out. Good luck.

OK so I never used DVD-rip befor........so I installed it.

hear working on a purchased DVD I first riped the main VOB then on the transcode tab under the audio options at the MP3 tab clicked the scan value button on the volume rescale line.

then just clicked transcode and let it do it's thing the resulting 1.3 Gig .avi is playing perfectly with no audio delay.

other than that I left all the default values alone

I'd say check your codecs. I had both the Ubuntu and Kubuntu restricted extras installed and it whacked everything up. I'd suggest using Ubuntu's restricted extras instead of Kubuntu's, but that's just from my experience; flash on online videos seem to work better with it.

I'd say try it with one and then the other and see what happens.

I tried OGMrip, which is basically another front end to ffmpeg, and it worked perfectly.
I don't get why, though, it's using the same codecs. Funny thing is, I first switched to DVDrip because transmageddon was messing up videos in this same way.

The solution is probably to learn how to use ffmpeg from the command line. Someday.

Solved, but I have no idea how or why. That makes me VERY nervous.

i always used the k9copy works like charm for me..
also arista transcoder is good. infact, arista transcoder is the most simple and to the point converter i have ever seen (win,mac,linux amongst all three)

I like mencoder, personally. It's faster than FFMPEG, as easy to use, less weird artifacts...

I use k9copy as my front-end to mencoder.

Does NTSC DVD conversions very well (I just converted my 100 DVD library to .AVI with XVID/MP3 so I can watch my stuff on mobile devices).
