Xvid sync problem

[Van Zan]

I've downloaded The Two Towers from WinMX but the sound on CD1 is a little out of sync..its maybe one second long...

I've tried playing it in WMP & WinDVD (which previously played everything perfectly) and it still occurs...

Could someone advise me on whether this can be remedied?

Thanks!

Use TMPGEncoder and Re-encode with a -280 msec audio gap.

If the file is an XviD-compressed .AVI file and NOT an MPEG1 or MPEG2 file, you certainly DON'T want to use TMPGEnc.

Instead, do the following:

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

Load the file into VirtualDub or NanDub.
Set BOTH "Video" and "Audio" to "Direct Stream Copy".
From the "Audio" dropdown menu, 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"
