[RNLD] re; Problems with playing back videos

[Shawn Bedell]

Sorry for replying again...I didn't select reply all....
             Hello, Stephen....
       I might be stating the obvious, but since you didn't mention it, I
will point it out: if you open a video file with VLC, like you did, you can
synchronize the video and sound. Just go to "Tools" and then choose "track
synchronization". You can move audio forward or backward. That should work,
no matter how out of sync they are.
     If not, you might try Gom player. It is a free download, and it often
plays files that other media players won't. Still, try synchronizing with
VLC. It has always worked for me.
                      Good luck.....
                       Shawn
