In Reply to: Audio/Video not in sync posted by Karen on December 04, 2002 at 11:46:52:
and came up with this:http://www.dvdcity.com/resources/officialfaq.html#1.35
In short, the answers are:
"The cause of the sync problem is a complex interaction of as many as four factors:
Improper sync in audio/video encoding or DVD-Video formatting.
Poor sync during film production or editing (especially post-dubbing or looping).
Loose sync tolerances in the player.
Delay in the external decoder/receiver."It would appear that the sync problems you saw with MIB II could be any of the first two. It also suggests that the first two will be present in order to achieve the second two. If you are sending the audio signal to your receiver, it could be slowly getting out of sync. Their suggestion was to *sigh* pause and restart the movie.

Hope this helps...at least to achieve peace of mind!

Thank you for your help. According to the sales rep for Hitachi, this is a software problem with some new movies and that we just need to upgrade the DVD software. The service depot has the upgrade discs and is forwarding it to us.I hope it's as simple as that.
Sounds like Hitachi will only supply it if you ask...hmmm...Oh well, I'm just hoping that Sony can come up with a similar solution for my S9000.
Thank YOU for the latest info!
I just wanted to send an update about the Hitachi DVD player that I was having problems with. The software update has been installed and the video/audio sync problems are now gone.Whatever the problem was, Hitachi had a quick fix.
Thanks for all of your help.
