1. Re: AVI -> DVD = Slow Audio
Stan Jones Aug 29, 2012 5:07 AM (in response to chuck farris)Look at the file with gspot or mediainfo re what the audio is. AVI is a wrapper that can contain various codecs.

3. Re: AVI -> DVD = Slow Audio
chuck farris Aug 29, 2012 8:32 AM (in response to John T Smith)Hi Stan and John-
MediaInfo says audio is MP3 (with MPEG-4 Xvid video). But the other AVI I was given is the same codecs, and audio comes out fine in DVD...
But if I'm re-encoding in AME, does it matter what codec the audio coming in is?
Also, in AME when making an MPEG-2, I've tried both WAVE and MPEG (.mpa) audio- they both play slow.
I'm on CS5, Mac OS 10.6.8
Thoughts? Thanks!

John T Smith Aug 29, 2012 8:45 AM (in response to chuck farris)Xvid/Divx are output files, not meant to be edited (variations of the MPEG4 codec, often used for Internet streaming video) so, they mostly do NOT edit well (if at all) in any flavor of Premiere
.
To edit a divx/xvid file, or convert to a format that will edit in Premiere
-start at http://www.divx.com/ or at http://www.xvid.com/

5. Re: AVI -> DVD = Slow Audio
Bill Hunt Aug 29, 2012 9:20 AM (in response to John T Smith)I recommend the conversion method, and that should take care of the Audio issue.
I am surprised that the Xvid Imported at all. When they do, one usually gets just Audio (most common), just Video, or totally OOS (Out Of Sync) Audio.
As John T. points out, both Xvid and DivX (the commercial equivilent) are delivery-only formats/CODEC's, and are heavily compressed. The conversion will do nothing to restore the lost quality, but should get you to authoring.
Now, the newer Xvid seems to use the H.264 CODEC for Video, and as you are on a Mac, I would think that you could convert the files to MOV, or MP4. On the PC, I use an older shareware conversion program, but know that Apple's QT Pro can do some conversions too. I just do not know if it can access Xvid/DivX, on either a Mac, or PC. There are probably tons of good conversion programs for the Mac, but as I am a PC-only guy, do not know them.
Good luck,
Hunt
