Video, Games, Video, Games…

The DVD came out half-right. The second half, that is. For some reason the audio sync on the first episode started out correct and then, about a minute into the show, went horribly wrong. I think I know what went wrong (attempting to trim the video within Nerovision Express, which wouldn’t have been a problem except I was replacing the original audio with a reworked separate track), but I suspect the only way to fix it for the next test burn will be to find a way to trim the raw capture file from outside of NVE, demux the audio track from the resulting file, re-tweak the audio, then put those two files into NVE and not worry about trimming.

Sure, that should only take a couple of hours. Did I mention that remastering the files takes about five hours for the two episodes? Whew. There’s a day’s work.

So, today, I’m not going to bother. Instead I’m going to bring over to the kids’ place a bunch of UT2004 stuff… the latest patch, some map packs, a couple of new mutators, a mod, some models, and a stats generator. We’re gonna have fun today! Heck yeah.

    http://www.mediachance.com/dvdlab/ is a tool I have used in the past to remix audio tracks for DVD compilations. I use a *ahem* TEST version of the product and it’s well worth it if I ever get into doing this more than as a freak occurance. Good luck with your project. I am in the process of putting all the JL and JLU episodes onto DVD, so I sympathise.

    Interesting. If I ever start feeling too constrained by Nero’s available tools, I will probably take a look at that. For now, Nero’s doing a fairly good job. (The error in the resulting DVD this time around was my own fault, not Nero’s.)
