Audio and video out of sync

[melyse]

Hi,

I have a videofile that is taking up space on my computer, so I tried to burn it on to cd, but when I play the file from the cd the audio and video are out of sync. There's no problem with the audio when I play the file from my computer. Is there any way to fix this problem?

H Melyse, what type of file is it? If you can open it in VirtualDuBMod this much quoted tip may help. BTW are you using a RW to experiment with?

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"

I will presume (since you have posted your inquiry in the DivX sub-forum) that your file is either a DivX or XviD compressed AVI. Refer to the information in the section "PART 2: Fixing Audio Displacement" contained at the following link:
