View Full Version : Time Stamp problem?

I was wondering if anyone else had this problem.

After recording a show, I would take the MPEG file and load it into DVD2AVI. Generate a project file so I can use the Gordon Knot program later to convert it into DiVX format for archiving.

When DVD2AVI is running, the audio time stamps don't start at 0:00. My 1/2 hr show started at 32 minutes and ended at 1h 02 (according to the audio time stamp).

In previous versions, this would always start at 0 (at least I thought so).

This seems to cause havoc with Hauppauge's Editing program. When I tried to edit the video, it always started at the beginning of the file even if I specified it later in the file.

The good news is that this does not seem to affect the DiVx creation process at all. If I use BeSweet GUI to convert the video's extracted MPA audio file into MP3 (or even AC3 or OGG), then run VirtualDubMod to create the DivX file from the AVS file that GK creates (then encoding with Divx 5.0.3 pro), it seems to play fine.

Anyway, I was just wondering if anyone ran into this same thing....

P.S. When trying to make DivX videos, it seems best not to resize the video. Whenever I did, the system would crash with an error in NTDLL.DLL If I kept the video at 720x480, all was well..... It must be a bug in the DiVx code or something with WindowsXP.....

This is because of how SageTV optimizes back-to-back recordings. There is a setting you can change to disable this, but it will cause channel changing to be slower.

If you want to make SageTV's recordings all start with PTS at 0, then quit SageTV, open the Sage.properties file and set
seeker/fast_mux_switch=false

Then all your files should start with the PTS at 0.

Thanks.
