Re: Please help or explain etc Clevo <guest[ at ]unknown-email.com> 11/17/2008 9:49:38 PM What file format is the sound file? trp files are very compressed Mpeg4 files and when converting to DVD compatable files the conversion is adding/removing frames to compensate...hence why the video and sound is going out of sync (probably more so as you play the video) -- Clevo ___________________________ Windows Vista Home Premium x64 + SP1 ASUS P5K MB Intel Core2 Quad Q6600 [ at ] 2.4GHz 4GB RAM (DDR2) NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GTS Realtek HD onboard sound Helpful links: http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Windows/en-US/help/3d0c5a49-8f61-45cc-8a7d-38c4695ba9291033.mspx#EEE
