#MAKEMKV SOFTWARE IS TOO OLD ARCHIVE#
So, which is to blame? the WD Live TV box and its digital setting, or the surround sound box and its decoding of the digital signal?Īny suggestions? My aim was to create a large archive on an external HD with all my movies in full format with their surround sound, but it is looking like either my setup or something else is now stopping this Having the sound reduced down to stereo and then converted to ProLogic II to me is really a backward step.Īs I mentioned, some movies play perfectly, some do not. BUT the sound is in perfect sync with the video.

Set the WD Live TV audio to Stereo Output, when you play a movie the TV displays English AC3 and the surround sound box displays PCM ProLogic II. Suggests that it is the audio decoding that is taking slightly extra time. Should mention that the sound is lagging behind the video picture and not the other way round as MKelley suggested. Unfortunately the sound is ever so slightly out of sync for some movies. Set WD Live TV audio to Digital Ouput, when you play a movie the TV displays English AC3 (Digital) and the surround sound box displays DolbyDigital. My current set up is - WD Live TV box connected to LCD via HDMI and using an optical cable to connect the WD Live TV box to my surround sound system (rather an old one truth be told, it does not have any HDMI inputs too old for that) I have my WD Live TV set to output the audio as digital since I am including AC3 or DTS audio in all the MKV’s and want to get the full surround sound. All showed the same sync errors using the same DVD as the source (in this case StarWars) I generated several different MKV files, some from AnyDVD, some from Handbrake and some from DVDFab. Mkelley was right about the audio delay - this seems to be the issue.

Perhaps it is simply a firmware thing? OR the way it is being ripped? All the rest, including full BluRays play perfectly so if there was any processing time it should be worse with the BluRays as the amount of video information if vastly larger than a standard DVD? Like I mentioned, it is only happening to a couple of movies - very strange.

Will also try ripping to an ISO and see if that has the same problems. I will try ripping the whole DVD untouched to see what happens there.

This kind of makes me think that perhaps it is DVDFab causing an error when it is ripping the movie to the HD. Interestingly both showed the same audio sync error. I also just tried to play the actual VOBs straight from an attached HD and from the NAS. (both require re-encoding unfortunately) the results were that the MKV showed the same audio sync errors, but the M4V was perfect? I tried converting the Vob through Handbrake to both an MKV and an M4V. I have been doing a few more tests and some of the results are interesting: Instead it is just happening with a couple so I doubt that the way it is connecting to the TV is the issue. I would agree that there may be some sort of delay with the audio and the way it is attached to the TV, but this should then happen with every MKV. I understand what you are saying, however, I am unable to try as we only have the one TV and it happens to be an LCD. If the image doesn’t lose sync there you know what the problem is. To eliminate this as an issue, try feeding one of your files from your Live unit to an older TV via composite (and older set that doesn’t have HD, of course). However, on my HD projector I don’t have a delay set at all (either it’s doing less processing or it’s much faster than my TV, because both are fed by a Live unit with the same sources, and both are running through a similar AV receiver). In my bedroom setup, for example, I have set the delay to around 70ms. Usually you can delay the sound by up to 100ms (which is enough for almost any problem). It varies by device and by how much processing is doing on in the image (modern HDTVs can do a ton of image processing nowadays). This is normal and is so common most receivers have a setting for it (usually calling it “lip sync” or “audio delay”). However, when you feed the audio through a receiver and are feeding the image through HDMI to a modern HDTV which needs to decode it the image will “lag” behind the sound slightly due to the image processing time I use AnyDVD on hundreds of DVDs and blu-rays, converting to MKV and have NEVER seen a sync issue (and would be surprised if there was one). When you say “a little out of sync” how much are you talking about? And how have you attached the audio and video to your TV?
