Thanks Aaron. Having the music set to -2050 behind the video makes a BIG difference !! Very much appreciate you taking time to add your very valuable comment. Works great for Neil Young Rust dvd.

VLC has an excellent delay function as well. Open up ‘all’ in the preferences (lower left hand corner) and you will see ‘audio desynchronization compensation’. Mine is set to -2050, but I don’t know if that would work for all. Dvds, mpegs, avi, whatever, all synced, all formats (5.1, etc.)

Now for my problem: how do you delay audio in Firefox? I cant get streaming video in sync, as firefox does not seem to have delay capabilities. Do any other browsers? Is there a fix? Anyone know? Before you say it, my headphone jack is stuck on itself and so my speakers don’t work. Well, technically they work . . .

delnerdo, you can rip real audio streams to disc using a program like WireTap Pro: http://www.ambrosiasw.com/utilities/wiretap/

RealAudio streams will keep me using AirFoil until I can figure out how to rip the stream to disk. (Please don’t say it cannot be done!)

I love rocking the house with digital sound.
(except when the signal fades, and fade it does, despite multiple transceivers and antennae.)

Same as Jamie – I listen to hour after hour of Real streams of This American Life for free. I can now finally catch up on all the years of broadcasts I’ve missed!

Ah, thanks l0ne, I guess I should have RTFM…

And Jamie – good call on the Real Audio Streams. What else are people using their Airfoils for?

Airfoil’s help explicitely says to use MPlayer’s a/v offset capabilities to cancel out the delay.

I dont think CI or CV will have any bearing. The issue is to do with syncing the display and the sound – maybe VLC or MPlayer have options to offset one from the other…i dont know though. My main use for Airfoil will be streaming Real Audio (radio) streams to my stereo … free Digital Radio :)
