Mkv audio out of sinc

so i have a lot of mkvs… and only one series has this audio out of sync problem. I realize its a codac problem because it plays fine on my computer… but is there a way to only re encode the audio, the video is fine and I dont want to lose any quality

So apperintly I found out through media Info it seems that wd tv cant suprt AC-3 Audio … Please , Please add suport for this, Thankyou

I have re encoded it with handbrake as a mp4 and this worked… but it should still suport mkvs better

Check my reply in your other thread, it might be GMC/QPEL that causes the problem,

please check :wink:

no it isnt … this is the media info output for the mkv files that have audio sync probelms, it doesnt have those settings

Edit: Oh dear.  Spot the ■■■■■ who responded to a post in the wrong forum!  Re-posting in WD TV Live. 

I haven’t been able to find a clear answer to this one, so hopefully someone can help. 

WD TV Live

Firmware 1.02.21

DVD Decrypter to rip from DVDs in File mode. 

Handbrake to convert into individual chapters.  (Main focus is music videos.) 

Using High Profile preset, with container set to MKV file. 

Why am I using MKV? 

2 reasons: Using MP4 I see bad video artifacts on the WD TV Live (through my Sanyo projector), and the WD TV Live for some reason sees some of the MP4s as video files and some as music files.  I can’t figure that out! 

What is the problem with the MKV files? 

After a few seconds I start to see the audio/video getting significantly out of sync. 

Does this happen with ALL MKV files? 

Nope.  It only happens with certain DVDs, and I cannot find a root cause of which DVDs have the problem. 

Does this happen with MP4 files?

Nope.  A Handbrake-generated High Profile file is just fine, whether it has a .m4v or .mp4 extension. 

Is it a region problem? 

Nope.  I see exactly the same problem on some DVDs from Region 1 and some DVDs from Region 2/3/4/5. 

Is it a PAL/NTSC problem?

Nope.  Same problem occurs on some PAL DVDs and some NTSC DVDs. 

Do the MKVs exhibit the problem on other media players? 

On a PC using Media Player Classic the files look fine. 

OK, what are the details? 

Here is Media Info details on an MKV file that exhibits the problem:
