Newbee - please help with Audio/video...

I have recently purchased adobe premiere elements 7 and have been trying to edit DVD-R disks that were recorded on a panasonic DMR E55 dvd recorder. These are music tracks that are in VOB format and they succesfully import into Adobe - but as soon as I play the files in premiere there is a lip sync issue on some but not all the files taken from each disk.

Can anyone give me a steer what the problem is and how I resolve this?

Many Thanks

This ARTICLE will give you some background on working with .VOB files.

This ARTICLE will discuss how to correct OOS Audio, if you cannot Import the material with good sync.

Good luck,

I also have a DVD-Recorder, so I'm ripping DVD content all the time, and editing carefree in PE7.

Use this (freeware) approach for hassle free editing:

First copy the VOB files to your hard drive.

Then combine these VOB's into one large VOB file per the link below:

Combining the VOB's will eliminate/reduce the sync issues.

I then convert this combined VOB to DV-AVI for hassle free editing.

Use Prism at this link for conversion of VOB to DV-AVI:

The not for free approach:

I recently came into a copy of Cyberlinks Power Director (this is not freeware).

It will rip DVD content directly from DVD disc to DV-AVI Type 2, and onto your hard drive.

This eliminates the step for combining using the freeware approach above.

Once you get your VOB's into the DV-AVI format, the video is now optimized for PE7, and primed for hassle free editing...
