segmentation problem

Posted by Audrey at 2011-12-05 14:08  

hi, I have a problem I have never encountered&nbsp;before.<br>When I create new ELAN files, I use two component files: a .mpeg file and a .wav file.<br>I segment the speech of the speakers and when I want to check my segmentation, I select only one segment and I listen. But the speech doesn't&nbsp;correspond to the speech that I previously segmented. All is ok if I listen to the file from the beginning (the segmentation corresponds to the speech) but when I listen to a short&nbsp;segment or when I listen to the file from the middle of the video, for example, the audio does not correspond to what I have segmented previously. The files used are: a video put together&nbsp;with Adobe Premiere and a .wav file extracted from the same video. Is the problem the way the video was put together in Adobe Premiere? I have tried to extract the .wav file under another type, I have changed the main file (.wav is the main component&nbsp;and the video is not or the contrary)... but I have always the same problem.<br>thanks a lot for your help,<br>Audrey<br><br>

This is difficult to tell. On which platform (operating system) is this?
So it doesn't matter whether the video is the first media file or the .wav file? And the video file, is that an mpeg-2 file or something else?
The only thing I could think of right now is that the video is an mpeg-2 and that the codec does not support precise positioning when playing a segment: instead of jumping to the exact start frame it jumps to a neighboring key frame. But that should never happen when the .wav file is the leading file (the master media).
A bit more information might help.

hi, Thanks a lot for your help. I think I have found the solution with a colleague. It seems that my video files and my soun files are too large. So it seems that if I compress these files, I would have problem any more. I have made one test for the moment... I must test this solution for several files in order to be sure to have the good solution.<br>thanks,<br><br>Audrey<br>
