[mythtv-users] nuvexport Video and Audio Sync

[dnk]

Pardon me if this has been discussed previously; I was not able to find any
relevant posts.

For a few months, I have been trying to find a way to export ATSC .nuv files
(from pcHDTV) to any format that would be easily portable for laptop
viewing.  nuvexport is the obvious tool for the job, and I have tried every
possible export format.  In every case, the audio and video become
increasingly out of sync on playback.  For playback, I have tried mplayer
(linux), xine (linux), Media Player (win32), mplayer (win32), and several
others, with zero success.  The audio invariably gets ahead of the video.
Within 30 minutes, the sync error is annoying (~.25-.5 seconds); withing
45-50 minutes, it is unwatchable (> 1 second).

Is there any way to get a properly synced export of HDTV ATSC .nuv files?
Can anybody get usable, synchronized .mpg, .asf, Divx, Xvid, or other
exports to work?

Starting with a .17 base (ATRPMS), I am using CVS versions for the frontend
and backend and for nuvexport, updated every few days until current.  The
results never vary.  Frontend running nuvexport is running Fedora Core 3
with all Fedora updates to kernel 2.6.10-1.770 on an Athlon XP 2500+ CPU.
