It's a common error. There are 2 reasons for its existence: - the original audio stream was extracted from an AC3 audio stream which was deleyed of a constant factor with respect to the video. - the MP3 audio stream was encoded VBR. The audio stream of the mpeg will more and more out-of-sync from the video , since MPEG-1 are CBR. You must detect which kind of error you have. If you notice a constant delay, re-encode the original AVI audio stream (e.g. with HeadAC3he) adding a constant delay (e.g. 3000 ms). If the audio stream becomes more and more out-of-sync, you must uncompress the MP3 audio stream (load the AVI with VirtualDub, set Audio = full processing mode and do File__Save WAV). After doing that you either load that WAV as 'audio input' with your converter (instead of the AVI's sound) or insert it in a 'temporary' AVI file (which will be BIG, since you are inserting an uncompressed WAV audio stream) with VirtualDubMod (open the old AVI, set Video on Direct Stream Copy , do Stream__Stream List, Disable the old stream and Add the new stream; after that, click Ok and Save (F7)). Probably WAV is accepted; if not, you'll have to encode that WAV stream to MP3 with HeadAC3He being careful, in the options (click twice the 'options' button, sfter you loaded the WAV and selected MP3 as encoding type), to choose 'CBR' in the MP3 ancoding mode. Usually
