Are you tired of redownloading two times the same release because the first was propered for being out of sync? Ever had the sensation the audio is a few mileseconds out of sync, although nooene else seems to notice it?
Either way there's an easy, temporary, way of solving this issue.
After opening the movie two new icons should appear in the right side of the taskbar, near the clock. If you roll the mouse over you should read "ffdshow video decoder" and "ffdshow audio decoder".
Right click either one of them and select "ac3filter". On the new menu go to the fourth tab, the one named "system". Now you can correct the audio sync. ALthouh the slider only goes between -0.5 secs and 0.5 secs, you can select the correction you want on the time shift field.
Per example, to correct the 160 ms out of sync issue on My.Name.Is.Earl.S02E18.HDTV.XviD-XOR, you need to input "-160" then press ENTER than apply.
If the sound after the image use negative values, else use positive values.
For a bigger delay like 8 seconds out of sync you need to input 8000, because it's in miliseconds.
---------------------------------
Some movies are so dark you feel like being listening to a radio novel? ffdshow video decoder has the solution, right click on the task bar icon and select "ffdshow MPEG-4 Video Decoder Properties", now select "Levels" on the right side.
Change input to 0-138 or something like that, and output to 0-170. Also try moving gamma correction to give more brightness.
NOTE: This works great on interior dark scenes, but outside scenes the white light becomes yellow and the sky looks like it is going to fall.
----------------------------------
Try using the other filters, you can also remove the logos from tv captures, and use the ffdshow audiodecoder to remove noise.
The main advantage is that it happens on the fly and you don't need to reencode anything, also, it doesn't damage in anyway the file.
