Why is there a delay in my movie?

[Fat_Santa54]

I used 3 gp converter to convert a video from limewire to my iPod. When I watched the movie from my comp. in normal avi format it was fine. But when I converted it there is this delay. and it's not something small, it's pretty big. Is there any way I can fix this?

I found out it's like this in all my movies, The timeing between action and talking is fine at the start, but as the movie progreses it gets realy bad, I mean like the guy falls down, and you dont hear the noise for another three seconds. Is this a problem with the 3GP or something else?

I don't have a workaround for you but I can tell you why. It might help you figure it out for yourself. The soundfile in an .avi can either be Constant bitrate (CBR) or Variable bitrate (VBR). When you say sound is in sync at the beginning it has something to do with (VBR). In some programs you can choose whether you want (CBR) or (VBR). I have never tried 3 GP converter myself. Maybe someone else here has and can tell you more about the settings. I know that using VirtualDub MOD you can set the delay when interlazing audio and video, but don't know what format you make it into, thus I don't know if it will work for you.

Hope this helped a little

Ok thanks that helped alot, now I know the source of my problems. I think It was something to do with 3GP, There are like 5 different conversion settigns and I just did the standerd one. I'm gonna mees around with it a bit and see if I can get it to work.

Also, what programs do you guys use that don't give any delay without having to tweek stuff.
