Well, I don't know, but this has been affecting me for months, at
least 6-12.  So I'm not sure it was a particular sync with FFMPEG,
although that's not to say that there might not be a fix in FFMPEG
sense the last sync... I don't know.

My question is - Does EVERYONE see this with xvid/divx playback, or
just a few of us?

Thanks!
Matt
