A possible fix for out-of-sync video files
Authored by: wesley_willis on Oct 11, '03 10:45:13PM
For out of sync movies use "Sync-Hole"

http://nsorscher.home.comcast.net/apps/Sync.html

This program attempts to sync your quicktime movies by changing the framerate of sections of the video track(s), or changing the offset of the audio track, and it works great! It only save a move with dependencies, so once the audio is synced the way you want it then open the movie with dependencies in quicktime and then "save as" a standalone movie and the movie you save will be in sync.

A possible fix for out-of-sync video files

Hi. I am the author of Sync Hole and I was just googling my page because I've recently moved and had to change my comcast identity.
The new url: http://nasorscher.home.comcast.net/apps/Sync.html
also a more permanent mirror:

And one more thing, you can set it to make stand-alone movies in the preferences, which I guess nobody ever looks at.

And really one more thing, if you do go the Add Scaled route, whatever you do make sure you add the VIDEO scaled to the AUDIO, not vice versa. Scaling the audio changes the pitch and also the sample-rate, which means that the cpu must resample on the fly back to a rate supported by the sound card in hardware. This will increase playback requirements of the movie and also often causes "soft sync" problems where the sync gradually gets worse, but pausing/resuming fixes it (which doesn't sound so bad, but if you think about it it means the sync problem can never be fixed for that movie)
