(This was also true if I copied the partially-completed AVI to another computer for playing). But if I let it complete (approx. 30 hours) it is actually okay. I think it's still slightly off -- on the order of a constant 125ms -- but not way off in a non-constant amount. Perhaps it was the lack of completed AVI index that was the root cause? Adam
