Sometimes, a video’s audio isn’t synchronized with video for some reason or another. To sync audio and video on the fly in VLC:

• In VLC 0.9.4: press Ctrl+k to increase delay, and Ctrl+l to decrease delay.
• In VLC 0.8.6: press k to increase delay, and j to decrease delay. That’s without holding Ctrl.

If you decrease delay below 0, you will then be, in effect, delaying the video.

Each press of the key combinations changes delay by 50 ms.

   I have two hobbies, to watch old movies and to listen old music. For the music I bought a pioneer dj and for the movies I am going to cinema or I watch them at home. I had some problem with VLC, but I never thought that this could be the issue. Thanks, good advice, I will put it in practice.

   Do you have a spam problem on this website; I also am a blogger, and I was wondering your situation; many of us have developed some nice methods and we are looking to exchange techniques with other folks, be sure to shoot me an e-mail if interested.
