[AGA-mcm] busted amano talk on 2001 video



Paul, I took a look, and you're completely right. There is NO SOUND AT ALL for the first 20 seconds of visual, and then it kicks in. It only appears to be relevant to the lecture. So THANKS for spotting it. I have no idea how this got onto the master at all, and more importantly, why NOBODY has noticed it yet. Clearly I'm going to have to send replacements to everyone at some point.

Now the bad news. In order to produce a new disk, I will have to recapture all the original footage off tape and re-render every talk for the whole disk from scratch. As I have a new baby in the house (and a computer that isn't working quite right at the moment), I literally may not be able to get this done for months. If you want a quick response, I will refund your money for the one DVD. If you can hang tight for a bit (maybe weeks, not months), I will send you a disk with JUST amano's talk (rendered at higher bitrate -- gotta give you something for being patient), as well as the full disk when that's done. Let me know your preference, and thanks again for your patience.

Amono's lips are never in sync anyhow because of translator, but the translators narrative does not correspond with the slide show. Then when question & answer takes place after slide show the delay continues. Its so subtle I was half way through the slide show before I realized the slide she was describing was not the one on the screen. My first thought was that I might be loosing my mind. His second talk "Live Aqua Demo" is fine. And so is the rest of the DVD. Based on what you are saying about tracks this might be the same problem on all of your 2001 disks.

At the start of the talk, does it appear in sync?

At the *end* of the talk, does the delay clearly continue, as in Mr. Amano's mouth move but you can't hear anything, even in the background?

One possibility here is that the 20 seconds is just how the talk went. with the overlayed translation and all.

What's funny here is that there aren't really "tracks" per se, but one single track with chapter stops... that's the way ReelDVD masters disks. I'll go look at the master disk too & see if I can see a similar effect.

I checked 2000, 2001 & 2002. All okay except for the track mentioned (track one 2001). Maybe you should check another disk to see if that track is bad on all disks. It is very subtle as the delay is actually about 20 seconds, with the narrative following the photo. I was about half way through program before it became apparent.

Hi Paul,

Was just checking the records for your address & noticed you were the guy who ordered our entire catalog! Before I send of another 2001 disk, can you check some of the other disks to see if you get that same "30 second delay" phenomenon? I mastered 2000, 2001 and 2002 in the same timeframe, so they might exhibit the same symptoms for you.
