Audio/Video Converting FAQs

  • Q1: The audio track does not sync with moving video pictures perfectly. Why and how to fix it?

(1)You can solve the problem by setting the A/V Sync. Please go to the right pane of the main window of Any Video (DVD) Converter, unfold Audio Options, and then set "A/V sync" option to "Default". It's recommended to close other programs especially anti-virus before encoding.

(2)You can also click Edit > Options > Video, and you will find "Default sync factor" control bar. It's a factor to reach synchronization. The bigger value you move to, the better accuracy of sync you will get, meanwhile, the encoding duration will also become longer.

AVC Sync


(3) Please add source video to Kmplayer, right-click on the preview window, click Media Info, and then set the video framerate and audio sample rate parameters in Any Video (DVD) Converter according to the Media Info to try again.

Please note that some source video files may be encoded with defects that would disrupt or mislead the converting process. This sometimes will cause converting errors and the out-of-sync problem. In this case, it's suggested that you change output format or the input files.

Notes for installing KMPlayer:

After installation process, when you press 'Next', you will be asked whether to install "SweetIM" and "ezLooker", please simply uncheck all these options to ignore these garbage toolbars. Otherwise, it will change your default search engines in IE, Chrome or Firefox, as well as the homepage.

 

  • Q2: Is sound normalization available?

Yes. Click the menu Edit > Options > Audio, adjust the sound normalization in the Audio Volume pane.

 

  • Q3: Can I disable the audio in the video?

Yes. Go to the right pane in the main window of Any Video (DVD) Converter, find Audio Options, and choose "Yes" as the attribute of Disable Audio.

 

  • Q4: How to get better audio quality?

Default A\V Sync renders better converting quality. You may also set higher Audio Bitrate and Audio Sample rate to get better audio render.

 

  • Q5: My output video is twice of the original video playback speed. Is there a fix?

For some special videos, the duration of the output video is only half the time or twice of the input video duration. Please check "Avoid incomplete conversion" by menu Edit --> Options --> Advanced and try again.

You can try to solve this problem by adding this command line –speed x to the "Additional MEncoder options" under the Advanced tab of the Options window. (x=Output video duration/ Input video duration)

Supposed the original video duration is 30 seconds, but output is 15 seconds, so you can add this command line -speed 0.5 to "Additional MEncoder options" to try again.

If original video duration is 30 seconds, but output is 60 seconds, you should use this command line –speed 2.0 instead in the "Additional MEncoder options".

 

  • Q6: The converter doesn't convert the entire video. It shows complete when encoding status reaches 70% or so. Why?

(1) The problem may be caused by the bad frame. You can skip this bad frame by checking "Avoid incomplete conversion" option under the "Advanced" tab of the "Edit>Options" window.

(2) Please add source video to Kmplayer (http://kmplayer.en.softonic.com/), right-click on the preview window, click Media Info, and then set the video bitrate, video framerate, audio bitrate and audio sample rate parameters in Any Video (DVD) Converter according to the Media Info to try again.

  • Q19: I cannot load VOB files from the "Video_TS" folder of a standard DVD. Why?

Our software is just a video conversion tool, so it will not do a good job on DVD conversion. If you can remove the encryption of the DVD by other third-party program, such as DVD Decrypter, our software will be able to convert the decrypted VOB files.

 

  • Q20:I loaded a wmv file for conversion but got this error message: "Convert failed: ERROR: Could not open required DirectShow codec G2M.dll …Cannot find codec matching selected –vo and video format 0x334D3247." Can you help?

Please click here to download and install the gotomeeting codec.

Then please go to C:\Program Files\Citrix\GoToMeeting\723 (a folder with numbers, which is the version of GTM you have installed). There will be a file called "g2mtranscoder.exe". This is the utility that GoToMeeting uses to convert the file to a generic WMV file after recording. Now follow the instructions below to use command line to convert the WMV file:

1. Copy g2mtranscoder.exe AND g2m.dll files and paste them onto the ROOT C: drive (ie not in a folder).

2. Place the gotomeeting recorded file on the root C: drive as well.

3. Launch the command prompt (start -> run -> cmd).

4. If the command prompt launches and shows a file/folder path (ie C:\Documents and Setting\etc) then type "cd.." (without the quotes) until you are seeing just the root C: in the command prompt line (will look like C:\>).

5. Now, type the following at the prompt: "c:\g2mtranscoder.exe source=c:\videofilenamehere.wmv". (of course put the name of your video file instead of those words, and don't forget the .wmv).

6. This should have kicked off the conversion, but there is no visual indication of this. You can make sure it's working though - open Task Manager and click on Processes then sort by CPU usage, you should see the g2mtranscoder hogging all your CPU cycles. It's working!

7. Drag and drop the .wmv file into AVC/ADC for converting when the g2mtranscoder.exe process stops.

Please note it would take about 20-30 minutes for g2mtranscoder.exe to convert a one-hour long file to a generic WMV file.

  • Q21: All the default frame size cannot meet my need. How to get my desired video frame size?
