Video Conversions

[Greg Kettmann]

Travis:
I don't have a specific answer for you.  However, I've done a lot of 
video editing, on Windows, and Video/Audio loss of synch is a very 
common problem, even for commercially available software.  It's similar 
to what you described, more of a "creep" than anything.  It starts small 
and get's progressively worse.  One solution, with the commercial 
software, is to add "cut points" which breaks the whole into smaller 
pieces and minimizes the creep. 

That said, I recommend http://www.doom9.org/   They are one of the best 
sites I know for video editing.  Their forums are excellent.  Not sure 
about their Mac support, but they're the source for the answers to video 
questions. 

Good luck.
