A) If the difference between audio and video is constant throughout the video:

Load the file into VirtualDub, VirtualDubMod, or NanDub.
Set BOTH "Video"(VirtualDub, VirtualDubMod and NanDub) and "Audio" (VirtualDub and NanDub - VirtualDubMOD>"Streams>"Stream list") to "Direct Stream Copy".
From the "Audio" dropdown menu, select "Interleaving" (For VirtualDubMOD, rightclick on the listed audiostream and then select "Interleaving")
Under "Audio skew correction", set an appropriate number of milleseconds (positive or negative) in the box labelled "Delay audio track by"
Save with a new filename

B) If the difference increases as the movie plays:

From under the "Video" dropdown menu, select framerate - and select "Change so video and audio durations match"

Let us know of your success ;>}

ok thanks i got that far now just a simple instrruction wot do you click to start it going lol

[rsquirell]

Click "File" and "Save as AVI"

[thingy_me_bob]

fankooo .. its going along nicely now will let you know the outcome . and will be dead impressed with myself if it works lol

[thingy_me_bob]

oh dam it stopped and said there was an error encoding it .. thought it was too good to be true that it would work for me

[rsquirell]

go back to "video" and "scan video stream for errors"

[thingy_me_bob]

arrhhhh ok will try that now

[thingy_me_bob]

Right i tried this with two different movie files that i tried to do and one after scanning said 0 frames masked(0 frames bad, 0 frames good but undecodable) and the other said 20 frames masked 91 frames bad, 19 good but uncodeable) so i can see that the second wouldnt work but why would the first stop working if nothing is wrong with it ????

[thingy_me_bob]

am trying the good one again to see wot happens now .. just a quiestion out of curiousity .. wot it the processing thread priority thing where u get the drop down box with low normal high etc etc there is something similar on nero that i usually use and i never knew wot it was ??

[thingy_me_bob]

DAM !!! got well past where it did before was almost to the end and then it stopped coz it said there was not enuff disc space available which i cant understand as the computer i am using to do this is a new one and there aint a great deal on it

did you forget to select the direct stream copy in video.

it appears to be that you have saved the avi uncompressed when you ran out of disk space....

[thingy_me_bob]

ok thanks .. didnt get an email saying there had been another reply so never checked forum again and i have tried this ermm 4 times since then lol .. oh well never mind will try it this way this time lol

[thingy_me_bob]

Oh yeah and just another annoying question can anyone tell me why once i have used virtual dub and closed it there is no sign of it again lol .. i have tried searching for it but the three files it finds says cannot be opened .. so i have to re-download it everytime i wanna use it which is getting just a tad frustrating lol

[thingy_me_bob]

hahaha cant believe that tried it when on direst stream copy and it did it in minutes instead of the unfinished hour and half it was taking before lol now i am trying the tmpgenc again to encode it and then i will see if it will burn to disc without the sound being out of sync
