I don't often post in this particular forum, but I am in need of some assistance. I am trying to work on an isolated score track for the "Ghostbusters: We're Ready to Believe You" project. I've run into the problem of the tracks not synching properly. Now, I've lined up 3 or 4 tracks perfectly for their starting point, however, they progressively fall out of sync. I've reasoned that this is because the DVD audio track that I am using as a base is from the PAL DVD.
Am I right in that the way to get around this would be to time-stretch the DVD audio to the equivalent 24fps runtime? Since that is the film standard, and the PAL DVD is sped up by around 4% (it's not time-compressed). Then, using that stretched audio as a base, sync the tracks of the score and then when I'm done stretch the completed track to the 25fps runtime? This would cause pitch problems and audio artifacts wouldn't it? Is there a way to do this without sacrificing audio quality?
I know most of you deal in NTSC, but the project is going to be PAL. I am capable of synching the tracks to the audio - but there's no point doing that unless I'm doing it correctly. I would really appreciate any feedback. Are the people who created the isolated score tracks for the IsoMix and Editdroid discs around? I know they were working with an NTSC disc - but did that involve speeding up and/or slowing down audio?
Thanks in advance.
