911alertme Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 When I convert video for my iPod the converter I use sometimes messes up the audio so that it is a couple of seconds ahead or behind the video. I was told by a friend that this usually happens when transcoding multiple videos at once. I've been doing them one at a time and it appears to be better but it's a pain because I can't really leave the computer. Would it help to do them all at once on a slower cpu or do I need to babysit them? Also would other programs using my cpu have an effect on the audio?

911alertme Posted January 16, 2007 Author Share Posted January 16, 2007 Is there any way to give that process say 75% of my cpu. And if I did this it would have to make other programs use the rest not cutting into the 75%. When I was talking to a friend he said you would have to do something like that. But he didn't know how.

Darren Kitchen Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 What video encoder and encoding settings are you using? I use the Videora iPod converter for the Hak5 episodes with a bitrate between 384 and 768 depending on length and they've always come out fine.

911alertme Posted January 16, 2007 Author Share Posted January 16, 2007 I am using a program called 3GP_Converter. I found a hack on the internet that converts it to 640x480 instead of 340x240 for the new 5.5g iPods but I've had the same problems without the hack. I used Videora for a bit but didn't really like it. Does it convert to the new 640x480 and can you encode multiple files at once? My friend said he expressed problems with Videora.
