Tried it but the main problems persist: the video starts off at a
too-high frame rate (like fast-forward) and the sound is out of sync. If
I pause, rewind or fast-forward the video corrects itself to normal
speed, but the sound then disappears completely.

The odd thing is that all of the various experiments I've done produce
AVI files that play perfectly with vlc or dragon, just not with my
standalone player.

The player docs say it can handle:
* Up to 720x576 resolution
* Up to 30 fps
* Video must be interleaved
* GMC (motion comp) only at 1-point, whatever that is.
* avi, mpg or mpeg files
* Codecs: DIVX[345].xx, MP43, 3IVX
* Audio: DTS, PCM MP3, WMA, bitrates to 320kpbs

I have a strong impression that the whole problem has to do with
synching, but I don't know how to fix it.
