Audio out of sync playing SBS videos

[HappyGoCrazee]

I'm trying to watch some 180 3D SBS videos but the audio is totally out of sync. This isn't the case if I play the video in VLC and feed it directly to the headset, but this doesn't get the desired 3D effect on many videos. Anyone else have this issue?

I'm getting the same issue. Seems like it might have a problem over a certain filesize since shorter ones seem to work for me, but longer ones get out of sync in a hurry. No idea how to fix it yet. (HTC Vive, latest drivers, Shadowplay off)

Having this issue too.. really hope this can be fixed..

I saw in another thread that the video feature is primarily for 360 videos, not 180 or other 3d videos. Frustrating when there's an option for 180 dome!

I'm having the same issue. Audio behind by a couple seconds.

Hey guys, out of curiosity, are you downloading with Google Chrome?

Because I started downloading videos with Internet Explorer, now they work fine.

Yes this doesn't make sense, becuase if you load the chrome downloaded ones in VLC they aren't out of sync. I don't know what to say, other than I download videos in Internet Explorer now and they are no longer OOS

Hope this helps :)

I am yes, but I'm opening them directly from Windows after downloading. A file is a file, downloading them from one browser or another gives you the same result.

Same problem here. It´s really annoying, couldn´t find a solution yet.

same issue.

Same issue. I have a feeling it has something to do with 60 Hz videos too. Somehow the codecs used in VD don't support it in its 180/360 modes.

Bump.

I just ran into this same problem . Audio is off by a couple of seconds on a 10 minute film. If I seek it will put it back on but then it starts to drift again as it plays. Any solutions?

But it doesn't.

If I download with chrome, I have issues

If I download with IE, I have no issues.

I have tested this multiple times

I do not know the technical reasons. Perhaps as a method of encoding video/audio files it encodes the audio/video seperately and re-attaches them, and chrome does it differently from IE.

I can not tell you.

All I can tell you is this problem 100% went away when I download large videos with IE, and i 100% have this problem every time when using chrome to download the videos.

I am using a video directly off my computer that I created ( not downloaded) Since It is a video I created I had the original audio file . I did a test where I started the audio file on the desktop at the same time The video was started. The sync still crept off over 2 seconds over a 10 minute clip. It is the video that is creeping but it does not make sense because I have no lost frames?

Also I am just using a 360 video and it has this sync problem

If you have AC3Filter, uninstall it or go into the AC3Filter config and uncheck all the checkboxes under the system tab where it says "Use AC3 for:" You'll need to restart Virtual Desktop.
