Played on my DivX-compatible DVD player, the sound is okay. But, when played through VLC or through latest K-Lite, there is a small delay (about a few seconds per half hour) in sound. To diagnose the issue, or just to try where the effect is coming from, I've tried changing the decoder for the audio in K-Lite's "ffdshow audio decoder configuration." More specifically, I've tried changing the decoder from "libmad" to other ones, but every other ones still present the issue. Weird thing, though, is that when set to "disabled," the audio still gets decoded.
Am am looking to further diagnose the issue. Someone (clsid) on another forum suggested that "It is possible the audio was just badly muxed. Remuxing it with VirtualDub might fix it. Just do a direct stream copy for both audio and video." -- However, it seems that the audio was not badly muxed as such a remuxing, once effectuated, did not fix the issue.
I believe the problem not to spring from the DVD player per se, as audio, uncompressed (PCM) using virtualdub, gets to play fine (that is, without any delay) on the PC (as well as on the DVP3960 DVD player). What is specifically strange, for it to be repeated, is that there is a delay between video and audio when those videos are played back on the PC, but not on the DivX player.
If you have any hints, suggestion, or diagnostic ideas, I'd greatly appreciate hearing any of those.
Thanks,
twipley
