Importing sound

[conehead]

Whatever video I import into Adobe Premiere, the sound is always ahead of the video (ie. you will hear the person say something and then you will see there lips move.) I have had this software for a while now, and it just started to do this. Any ideas on why?

Thank you very much.

what type of source files are you using in Premiere?

wmv mostly

Hmmm, I've never edited WMVs in Premiere, but I used to have a problem with importing mpeg-1's with the sound not syncing to the video, until I realized mpegs are not ideal for editing in Premiere. Not sure if the same goes for WMVs. Converting them to AVIs might help. I used virtualdub to convert my mpegs, but then again, not sure if you can do the same for WMV. Anyone?

I downloaded virtualdub, and it seems very useful, but does not work with wmv.

I knew I had seen this post on this site somewhere when I was trying to convert wmv: http://www.videoforums.co.uk/archive...ge=software038

an old one.

I Googled and you can download the version of Virtualdub that might be able to do what your after here: http://www.digital-digest.com/dvd/do...aldub_346.html, it's "version 1.4c with ASF Parsing" - but it's an unofficial release, and it doesn't seem to work for me :( Might be useful to you though.

1.3c supported wmv.

i downloaded 1.3c and it did not work either. It didn't have wmv on the list of files you could open.

Did you try opening it after changing the extension?

[conehead]

nope didn't work:

ASF: illegal object fragment flags 0c in packet at 157a
packet size = 1900, pp = 13, send time: 0:00

was the error message
