Audio-Video Sync Issue in Windows 7 Media Center

Question

During playback of AVI file in WMC 7 there is a delay of about .5 sec in audio compared to video. Does anyone know of a way to tweak (maybe reg hack), the audio play back, like you can in vlc and other media players, to compensate for the delay?

Solution

Tutorialsroom suggests VirtualDub:

• Open your video file in VirtualDub by dragging and dropping the file on the program.
• Click on Audio -> Interleaving or press (Ctrl + I) on your keyboard.

• Now in Audio skew correction text box type a value in millisecond (1000 ms = 1 second) following the instructions: Use positive values if audio is playing too early or negative values if the opposite is true.

  

• Click Ok and don't forget to Click Video -> Direct stream copy and Audio -> Direct stream copy because we do not want re-encoding here.

• Click File -> Save as AVI or press F7 on your keyboard and save the file.

Thanx for the answer! I'm more interested in adjusting the delay during dynamic playback, since when I play the file in vlc for e.g. the audio IS in sync, it's just the media player in msft that introduces the delay. So if I could just tweak the audio in msft player that would be awesome!

Let me see what I can find, though I think it's going to be difficult to find :(
