I imported it into Kino and then let Kino convert it to a *.dv file which Cinelerra happily accepted. I have now just finished editing and rendering this file (a film which is 2hrs 45mins long) and am about to put it thru DeVeDe to create a DVD. Kino took forEVER to import the mpg file and it took a lng time to export it - how long it actually took to do so I don't know because darn Kino doesn't show a progress timer, it's a bit primitive in this respect. Now I need to find out what Kino uses to import the file and then to export it and then apply the same convertion 'scripts' to other similar files thus by-passing Kino.

Do as Haldun suggested, right-click on the video track, and pick the "to project size" item. That should do the trick. Aside: Sometimes, smaller sized tracks ARE useful. But Cinelerra's behaviour does not quite fit the "user model", obviously. Thanks for the response, Herman. I tried what Haldun suggested - without success. What has me a puzzled is the 4:3 format followed by the 16:9 format in the mpg file details (shown in the first post of mine). The original film has a sort of 4:3 formaty look when it starts which then changes into something like 2.20:1 format after a few minutes and then the format changes to 16:9. So there appears to be 3 formats within several minutes of the film (at the beginning).

When the sound is heard, obviously. Which is what I thought and which is what I used to set the Audio Default. With the audio problem I was having I thought it best just to make sure that what I did was correct. Before going on, sorry for not replying earlier but I was doing some editing on Cinelerra just to confirm what I will write now I solved the problem with the audio sync. What had happened was that some files on my system were updated and Cinelerra was also updated at the same time. This, added to the fact that I am new to Cinelerra and therefore still finding my feet, resulted in some setting or something, somewhere, being changed. What I have been doing over the past couple of days was to go back to "basics" and reset all the preferences and did some editing to see if the sync is now holding. Everything is fine now. However, what I also found is that occasionally the audio would go out of sync after some point even though it was fine for most of the file prior to that point. Pinpointing the reason took a bit of time. What was causing the problem was that a few frames were somehow corrupted[*] and as a result threw the audio and video out of sync subsequent to these corrupted frames. Once I found the cause, I used the Video Effect "Delay Video" [by 0.7 seconds in my case] from that point to the end of the file - and the video/audio were in sync again. A most valuable learning experience was had over the past few days :-) . [*] When playing back the file at normal speed these frames were not even noticeable - but the video/audio mismatch was certainly noticeable.

Yes. > Am I misunderstanding things? As far as I have understood, Audio Offset is for _calibration_, and nudge is for _correction_. Thanks for the response, Herman. Yep. As I mentioned to Einar, I wonder why it afflicts Cinelerra when all my tv programs, videos are all in perfect sync - or, at least, so close to being perfect that any difference is not noticeable. Calibration is per computer/installation, and correction is per project/format/track/clip. Now, if only there was a way to reliably calibrate audio/video synchronisation on a computer! I'd like a cheap gizmo, let's call it a Synchrophone, that has a simple microphone and a fast rate low-res sensor (one monochrome pixel might do). I like this idea! :-) Like a clapperboard but only in the form of software. You sound like someone who knows something so can you explain this, please :-) . In the Cinelerra manual, page 23, instructions are given on how to calculate the audio offset. The part which really has me confused is this: "Play the timeline from 0 and watch to see if the gradient effect starts exactly when the audio starts." When exactly does the audio start - is it when the audio level meter appears on the right-hand side of the Compositor window or when the actual *sound* is heard (to match the appearance of the synthesiser)?

[CinCV] Video/Audi sync problem. Can anyone please help?
I captured a 5-part TV series on my dvb card. The captures are in PAL digital 16:9 format. I have edited all 5 parts (ie, removing commercials) and all 5 parts have perfect video/audio sync when I view the parts in Cinelerra. In fact, I have created an ISO containing parts 1-3 and there is no problem with the sync. Now I want to combine parts 4 and 5 to create a second (and final) DVD. However, while part 4 has perfect video/sound sync the sync on part 5 is way out. I have tried any number of times to render part 5 and, as I said, while the sync is perfect in Cinelerra the final rendered file ( *.mov file - like the other 4 parts) is bad when I view it using VLC or any other viewer (eg MPlayer). The video/audio is actually 1.4 seconds out and for which I have adjusted the Preferences but this setting doesn't seem to "stick" when the project is being rendered into a *.mov file. The rendering is done using Quicktime for Linux with DV for video and MPEG-4 Audio - but I have also tried Twos Complement. With 4 of the 5 parts successfully rendered I am tearing my hair out figuring out why the 5th part is not playing the game. Can anyone offer a solution, please, or point me to where I may find it?

The one case where I had a problem is when there is no directory which Cinelerra needs it simply crashes - no error message, just vanishes off the screen. I am a happy camper using Cinelerra (and DeVeDe). But if you look at my signature line below, I am not using the 32-bit version.

BC I am using Ubuntu 12.10 and would not want to change distributions simply to be able to use Cinelerra-CV. I am getting the impression that the CV version is not being kept up to date for Ubuntu, and perhaps not for many other distributions such as Debian. Is that correct? If so, I guess I will have to stick with the HW Version. Murray Which distro you use is not for me to say but I have tried (almost) all of them and there is nothing as good as... :-) . I looked here to see which versions were available for which distro- http://cinelerra.org/getting_cinelerra.php Whether this list is up to date, I don' know.

The current binaries are based on the codebase 2.2 with the recent patches. I am not sure why you keep saying that CV is not compiled from source for CV. I have no interest nor motivation to make another ppa for the HW, maybe someone else can take that task. When time will allow me, I will try to modify the package names to reflect that what is in the PPA really is cinelerra-cv. NF Ummm, what would you compile it from other than the source? :-) I looked at this- http://cinelerra.org/getting_cinelerra.php which shows that Cinelerra CV has not been compiled for Ubuntu for quite some time - but I got my copy updated only a few hours ago with the latest update release made available only some 4 hours ago (at the time of writing this).
