Final Fantasy 9. It's not that it's a bad video, it's just that it starts out with about a 0.5 second time lag.

I think it just needed to be cut down into 1gig segments.

There are other videos that desync that I can't really name right now, cause I'm tired, and should be in bed. xD

If I remember any of them I'll be sure to put them down in this thread.

Oh, and I just thought of another one. Return to Castle Wolfenstein starts to Desync about half way through.

Are we talking about YouTube or the downloadable video file(s) here?

Oh, the downloadable files.

I know for most people a .5 second Desync isn't a big deal, but it drives me crazy. xD

Is there actually something that can be done about the downloadable files?

I dunno. Maybe it was my Windows causing the Desync. However, I'm on Windows 7 64bit now, so maybe the desync issues will be over.

Hopefully, the problem will be gone.

I have downloaded part 3 of Return to Castle Wolfenstein (both max quality and 512KB mp4) and checked it to the end. I couldn't notice any desync at all.

Using VLC here.

Note:
My first longplays (Doom, Doom II, and so on) desync, and that's a known fact. I found out how to fix that later on.

Hmm. I wonder why these runs desycn for me, then?

I also use VLC Player as my main video player.

I'm not sure, though, but I think maybe my faster RAM is helping some.

I watched the first few minutes of FF9, and I think there might still have been some desync, but it's a little harder to tell now.

But, really, a single video file that large and long is bound to have some Desync here and there unless it's cut down into smaller files.

Guess I'll see later on. :3

Maybe you could try to split a large video to see if it fixes your issue.
You can easily do that using MKVmerge GUI:

- Click Add and browse for the longplay you want to split
- Optional: Choose filename in Output filename
- Go to the Global tab.
- Select the Enable Splitting option.
- Select ...after this duration and type in a length, for instance 00:15:00 (hover mouse on field for more details)
- Click Start muxing

Okie dokie. I'll try that if I have a desync issue again, or if the issue hasn't vanished.

But it'll have to wait til tomorrow. xD

Sleepy sleepy sleepy. :3

Well, that didn't work, either. In fact, when I split the file into 1gb files, the desync seemed to get even worse.

I also tried splitting it into 1 hour files. Forgot to mention that..
