I’ve been using Handbrake to encode videos. It’s been working great up until now.
The first few seconds of the video plays what looks like slo-motion, audio is heard then it kicks into normal. Anyone had this happen? If so, what settings have you found to fix it?
Other videos were encoding great. All of the videos are shot with the same camera and same settings. Some videos encoded great and others didn’t. I’m guessing I must have changed a setting somehow.
Thank you.
Guess I’m the only one with a broken handbrake.
The original source video plays well but after I encode in handbrake it takes the first 3 seconds and makes it look like slow motion then it plays fine. I’ve redited the clip and encoded differently three times or more in handbrake. I also encoded with Any Video Converter. It plays fine on computer but not working on the Roku. Retrieves half way and then goes back to the detailsscreen.
If you know a fix for what it’s doing, let me know.
Thank you.
I use handbrake and it works well. What version are you using? Are you on mac or pc?
Hi
0.9.5 on windows 7.
Was working great when I first tried it. But last two videos not doing right. One of them I got fixed by doing a 2nd encode. One still has lag first three seconds. Going to try another video and see what happens with it.
what kind of videos are they? also what codec are you using?
The first ones did okay as mentioned. They are 720x480 avi’s that were shot in SD.
Pm me. I can send you the templates i use. Let me know if they work out.
I tried handbrake again today. it sued to work. Not sure what the problem is. The edited file looks just fine. Encode it and it is choppy first 3 seconds or it’s a like a slo-mo effect.
I tried several different videos and it does the same now for all. I tried the Regular High Profile, Regular Normal. On the last encode the Regular Normal looked better than the others but the audio looks to be a tad out of sync plus the choppy effect at the start.
Any suggestions?
Any other avi to mp4 converters good for Roku?
Thank you.
I’ve had more problems when changing the framerate of a video during reencoding. You can try using a different codec revision to see if that fixes it.
I’ve tried the universal setting, normal and high profile. Tried it with many different settings. What settings are you using?
I think I will to a reinstall and see if maybe something is conflicting with it. If I find the fix, I’ll post it for others.
After changing from version 9.5 to 9.6 Handbrake is now working properly again to encode avi to mp4.
I have been using HandBrake for some time now. I noticed that a lot of my videos do not have matching audio and video. I was wondering if there is anything I can do to fix the converted files or must I encode all my movies again? If I have to encode everything again, is there a certain setting I can use on HandBrake to make things sync better? Thanks to anyone who can help!
Hi BlackMetal,
I saw that there is a program online to aid in syncing up the video. I don’t have the link right this moment and never used it. If you don’'t find it on google, let me know and I will try to locate it again.
I’ve battled the sync issue many times and I never found an easy way to fix a video with an audio sync problem, but I can’t say that I tried very hard. I’ve had the best results with forcing a 29.97 fps frame rate and no matter what frame rate the original video had. I’ve also had problems using the x264 encoder over the default ffmpeg4 encoder. The ffmpeg4 encoder is much faster as well.

I do believe this new install is slower but it finally fixed a video I have been working on for a week.
I read online about many having sync problems. Mine was sometimes out of sync or the first few seconds would be delayed and jumped and then started on its way.
I came across a link this week that saiid it can be used to help correct sync. I never heard of one either but people were using it.
newschannel,
I know if the past I have had to use an offset when using final cut. In handbrake forcing the framerate should resolve the issue as mentioned in the previous post. I should have those templates to you by the end of the week. been moving 
Hi,
Okay great. Thank you. I was able to get that video encoding but if you can share those templates that would still be a great help. I have more videos to do and your info could be helpful for that as well.
Thank you.
Try these templates for handbrake.
The import of the file fails with Handbrake 0.9.6
Ok I will look those over.
The 0.9.6 has been working for me so far. That video that was so troublesome in the opening is fixed after I installed 0.9.6.
