Movie plays fine, but the sound isn't
 

Ok, so i downloaded edited to conform with forum rulez and when i came to play it, the sound plays about 10 seconds ahead of the picture. I can hear the characters talking, but then i will see their mouths move. It is totally out of sync. Please can someone help me QUICKLY (before i throw my computer out of the window!!) :)

Are you using LW to preview the movie or launching it from LW? This could be the problem. I know when launching songs from LW the sound is off. If you are launching it with a different program what is it?

What type of file is it(.avi, mpeg)? You might need a codec in order for it to play properly.:)

The movie is in avi. format and i saved it from LimeWire into a file and then i opened the movie up from there and played it on Creative Player. That's when the picture started to become delayed from the sound.

Sometimes with .avi files you need a DivX codec. You can download it for free here.:)

I've been fighting this same problem for quite a while, and all the solutions I've seen center around stripping the audio from video and converting to .wav file using VirtualDub product, then re-interleaving the wave file with the video. I could never get these solutions to work.

Since I only cared about watching the video without the audio getting out of sync the farther it got into the show (and the more commercials which were cut out), I took a different approach and started looking for a movie viewer which would allow me to adjust the audio to match the video. I finally found the Zoom player at www.inmatrix.com which does exactly that.

Unfortunately the feature isn't on the standard control panel, so you have to learn how to add it or, like me, just use the keyboard shortcut by holding down the shift key and pressing the + or - keys on the numerical pad.

Hope this helps! G.
