sound convertion problem with mandvd and devede

I have a sound convertion problem with devede and man devede to create a DVD movie from a video file in opensuse 11.4 32 bit, the sound in the file is mp3, but when I burn the resulting iso the sound is slow out of sync and hard to understand, the video is perfect, any help is welcome, I am using the packman versions

I believe devede encodes the sound as ac3, perhaps it’s not able to do that properly

Check that you have ffmpeg installed, if you haven’t that might explain why

Another thing you could try is run the video through avidemux-qt (or avidemux-gtk if you use gnome) and let avidemux convert the audio to ac3

One thing you don’t mention is what sort of video file it is and/or where it came from

I did this

In devede_video_convert.py, around line 70 or so, change:
lavcopts+=“ac3”
to
lavcopts+=“ac3_fixed”

Not positive I had the same problem, but ‘out of sync and slow’ sounds about right and this fixed it.

and it is working now, but mandvd has the same problem, I read somewhere that this is a mencoder problem

this are the video details
