genegold Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 (edited) There's an online video that I'd like to save as a file which appears to be WM video, but when saved shows as a .php file. As such, it won't play with WMP and with VLC plays but has audio and video problems off and on. The video is here: http://sport.etv.ee/index.php?0&popup=video&id=3759. For browsers I use Opera 9.1 and IE7. Thanks.P.S. I just ran it and copied the resulting file from the Temp Internet files folder to another. While it shows as a MPEG file the name is .dat, which won't run. Edited March 6, 2007 by genegold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b2cm Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 Change the file extension from DAT to MPG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

genegold Posted March 7, 2007 Author Share Posted March 7, 2007 I've partially solved the problem, but still need help with the audio piece. With VLC, I recorded it via File>Open Network Stream, pasted in the URL, chose Stream/Save, opened Settings and chose ASF for encapsulation and added a file name. That got me the video, which actually runs better in WMP than VLC. However, there is no audio. It is in Estonian, but I would like to have it and know how this process works. I went back to Settings and added audio, choosing mp4a the first time, then mpga when that didn't work. Still no go. Any ideas? Thanks.

genegold Posted March 29, 2007 Author Share Posted March 29, 2007 I have a variant of my initial question. What is or are good ways to go about synchronizing video and audio when the two are a bit off? Do I need to use a dubbing application or can it be done within media players? I'm have WMP 11, Media Player Classic, VLC, Quicktime and Zoom Player. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b2cm Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 (edited) As for video/audio synch, you may need a video editor that splits the file into video and audio tracks, and lets you drag the audio clip left or right until you get the synch. It's a difficult process, and the video editors with this feature is expensive. You're better off trying to get a video file without any synch problems. If you captured the video using VLC, try MP4 as encapsulation method and use mp4v (video codec) and mp4a (audio codec).If you can split the tracks using any freeware tool, you can try synchronizing using Windows Movie Maker. Convert the video track to WMV and the audio to WMA, and import it into Movie Maker. Edited March 29, 2007 by b2cm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
