What's the deal with SOME XVID AVI files and the lack of audio sync if you try to do ANYTHING with the files?
I was happily converting XVID AVI files to DVDs via the wonderful new video capabilities of Toast 7.0.2. Thank you Roxio for making it so easy with the latest version of Toast! These capabilities are awesome and well implemented...when they work.
BUT, I've run into several files that, no matter what I do, always end up with the audio and video out of sync...and it's NOT just Toast. It's **anything** I try!
Things I've tried so far:
Toast > DVD disc image = sync failure
ffmpegX > DV, DVD, MPG, or another AVI = sync failure on any conversion I attempt
Quicktime Export to .DV (which almost always has worked in the past) = sync failure
VLC Media Player > Open File > Stream to MPG file = sync failure
My frustration is that these AVI files play JUST FINE in Quicktime and VLC, but if I try and convert them to anything else, the audio and video go out of sync.
If the players can play the files with proper audio and video sync, then why can't they be encoded to something different and remain intact?
I feel about how this little icon-guy looks.

Quicktime 7.0.4
OSX 10.4.4
PowerMac G4, 1.3 Ghz PowerPC, 2 MB L3 cache, 1.25 GB SDRAM
I thought surely using VLC to stream the file to a new format would solve the problem but it didn't.
Any suggestions, anyone? HELP! Where's the key to unlock this mystery?!
