DVD Catalyst Settings for Droid 3

[dvdcatalyst]

Thanks
The beta version seems to output a playable file although audio is out of sync pretty far and about 2 minutes shorter than the video.

In MediaInfo the video file is 4 min and 52 seconds long, the audio is 2 min 42 seconds long.
Maybe the audio in these types of files is still throwing DVDcatalyst a curve.

The beta has a setting in Global > Video files for fixing issues with certain filetypes. With some camera files, due to the audio rate being optimized for voice, sync issues can happen, which is eliminated by enabling the fix.

The fix regenerates the file before conversion. It will not result in quality-loss, however, the conversions for m2ts/mts files with the fix enabled will be a bit slower.

That seemed to do the trick, it creates a fairly size-able tmp.avi file and I assume works on that file to compress down to a smaller size?

Should I expect DVDCatalyst to remove that tmp.avi file or is that a manual deal? It didn't remove this one so I'm just wondering what the intent is?

Glad to get this working, I knew if handbrake could handle those file types DVDcatalyst should be able to.

The tmp avi is created using a same-quality method, which ends up larger than the original. The video and audio actually does get converted using a different conversion engine, unfortunately, it is not capable of the same settings as what I use in the normal conversion engine, which is why it gets converted twice with the fix.

Because there are still things that can go wrong when the second step starts, dvd catalyst currently does not remove the tmp file automatically. This will be done in the final release though.

For most video conversions, the 2step (fix) conversion isn't needed though, only some camera's.
