sound not syncing after conversion...

[sailfone]

anyone know of a media player for wmv video files? i downloaded a video file (wmv) and converted it to mp4. The file played in the video player (froyo 2.2), the only problem was the sound was delayed by 2 to 4 seconds behind the video.

any suggestions are answers to my problem is welcome.

thx in advance

There is no wmv player. If the sound is delayed, you converted it wrong. What software did you use? I use Handbrake and never have any problems.

Hi Sailfone,

It appears there is a wmv player for android after all:

arcMedia - a media player for Android

There you go

Hope this helps

if i downloaded a video from a torrent site and the sound was ahead of the actual lips of the people in the movie.

could i correct this?

if so, how?

and what fps and bitrate should a video file be?

i love watching videos while on lunch or airplane flight.

thx in advance

Whoa!!

Thats hectic... hmm let me see now.

Give me a couple of seconds (don't have the knowledge on hand hahahaaa!! ) lol

Hmm well for starters, you can add a bittorrent client to the android os it seems...

Get it here:

Hmm, i some questions to ask first though...

1) Are you tring to download from ur pc first?

2) Are you converting on ur device or pc?

3)..... cudn't think of a 3rd reason! hahhaaa lol

does it happen when you play the video on the computer or just the phone?

and what fps and bitrate should a video file be?

FPS depends on the source. 29.97 for broadcast, 23.976 for film. Bitrate depends on teh codec, but if you are using h264, it should be between 1000-3500kbps.

ok...here it is....

1. i download from torrent site.....

2. it's in mp4 format

3. i view the film on my pc before i convert to .3gp format

4. i observed the lips behind the sound/words or sound/words before the lips

5. i thought if i convert, this would be corrected, but i was wrong; the problem continues continues even after conversions.

6. i am using 'Flv Crunch' software to convert...i doubt it's the problem, because i have used this software before to convert previous films and they played find on my DINC.

7. i am suspecting that the original torrent film cannot be corrected


what do you all think?

thx in advance....sorry for the delay response

Hey buddy,

hmm, it cud be the actual mpeg 4 itself. So try download the same file but from a different torrent perhaps maybe?

I think mpeg 4 is a propreitary component of (Cr)Apple's Quick Time player. I don't like Apple... no offence to any1 here, just they don't open ANYTHING, so no java virtual machine just NOTHING! SO you HAVE TO HAVE a Mac or no iOS SDK for you! anywayz...

(Maybe) solutions:

1) It cud be the compression ratio... or maybe the phone simply cannot handle it? But i doubt this... it shud easliy be able to play without any problems.

2) Other solution is to then Play the exact same file on ur PC with Crap Time (Quick time) and see if there is still a dubbing problem witht the sound on ur PC.

3) My last optoin is to try a different conversion application like this one from Leawo:

Free 3GP Converter- Download 3GP Converter to convert video to 3GP/3G2 for video on Cell Phone playback.

Let me know how it goes dude.

Regards

If the sound is out of sync on teh pc before you convert, it will be there after you convert. The file wasnt properly converted when it was put up on bittorrent. There is no easy way to get it to re-sync, just try to download the video from another torrent.

 

[sailfone]

i think the answer from sitlet is the correct one, same thing i was thinking, because i have downloaded a mp4 file from the same source and it played; i think the file was improperly converted from the good go....so therefore can't be rendered correctly (atleast with my minimal knowledge),

thanks alot

 

[sailfone]

no problem....i just took the sounds of the mp4 and made an mp3 file, i was just interested in the lecture anyway. it was a professor's lecture in class years ago.

thx again
