I'm trying to get some DVD's out to a good quality format without being too huge. Prefer they can play via a USB on a television. I've tried about a half-dozen so far, & all leave the audio/video slightly out of sync. It's irritating because they're playing fine on a PC?
Anyone here done much of this sort of thing who can point me in a better direction?
Cheers
Looks like the problem may not be the program but your AV set up. Do files that were made by other people have the same problem?
DVD Fab has a free product that rips video. It was always the best for me and I tried at least 20 different products around 3 years ago.
What I use to do though was use DVD-Decrypter and get a clean single file of the entire dvd usually 4-6GB and then use http://sourceforge.net/projects/containerswitch/ to put that file into an .avi or .mp4. It wasn't very space friendly but it also took a fifth of the time it usually does and keeps 100% of the clarity rather than transcoding.
I originally used Handbrake (I'm on Linux Mint & it works a treat!). The resulting files were not WMP compatible, however.
After that, I went with all of the "freebie" software advertised here & elsewhere. I recall having sync issues years ago (pre-USB flash, etc). I would have thought that issue would have been fixed by now? Geez…In the end tried something that gave me MPEG-2, but large files.
Anyhow, "Sage"- I've only tried to convert these— I have no reason to do others, but point taken. In fact, I was wondering if these particular DVD's were filmed in some sort of odd, proprietary format.
I think I'm going to just give it a miss— too many variables & I'm coming in at the tail-end of it all.
Thanks everyone, for replying.
Cheers
RE:: how to fix video/audio sync?
Is there any sort of "tried & true"?
DVDFab Copy is my favorite. Now on sale at 20% off.
Not sure if it is what you are looking for.
Trial it and see for yourself.
Try Handbrake best transcoder on mac, and there's a Windows version too.

edit if you're having a slow lip-sync issue that gets worse over the length of the movie you're transcoding at a different frame rate to what the original source is. i.e. the source is 30fps and you're transcoding at 27.7 or something like that. Might be worth looking into.
