Hey guys.
My friend did a 2CD DivX5.02 and AC3-rip of "Pulp Fiction", and made sure the audio was in complete sync when he watched the rip on his machine.
Then we were gonna watch it on my machine, and guess what - no matter what player we used the audio was not in sync anymore, but ahead of the picture by maybe 100ms or something (enough to make it annoying).
He spoke to some DVD-authoring people, and they said something about that different machines use different amount of times moving the audio to the soundcard and the video to the monitor or TV-output.
That makes sense, I guess. I've seen so many DivX/XviD/SVCD-rips and thought to myself "my god, don't they *see* how lagging the audio is?". But maybe it's been fine at the rippers machine, and that this is a universal problem, that different machines will play media files with different syncs.
Does anyone know anything more about this? And if this is really true, why isn't there a player (or a plugin for a player) that has the possibility to play media files and fix the audio/picture sync-difference on the fly? Like with a slider?
Any response is heartily welcomed :)
