I've just tried to play a video clip on Totem Music Player (Ubuntu 5.10/Gnome) and the audio is not synched with the video.

What codec is in use? F.ex., MPlayer often has synch problems with Real-encoded films. (When it first got Real support, it couldn’t even seek in such files.) Otherwise, if there are multiple codecs that cover the codecs used – particularly the audio codec –, it may help to pick another one. Again with MPlayer, I have various WMV and AVI films that show nothing but a still image if I use the FFmpeg audio codec but play just fine if I tell MPlayer not to decode audio or ask it to use the emulated Win32 WMV-DMO codec. Other than those, sometimes the file is really screwy; in that case it can fix the issue to demux the file into separate audio and video files, and then remux them together. You may discover that you need to stretch or shrink the audio track a little to make it correspond to the video track’s speed. Regards, -- Aristotle Pagaltzis // <http://plasmasturm.org/>
