A/V sync keyboard/mouse shortcut
« on: August 15, 2012, 06:16:40 pm »

MC is awesome.

For my use cases, my only big wishlist feature is to be able to incrementally adjust A/V sync on the fly using keyboard and/or mouse.  So many video files are slightly off, by unique amounts, and this would make things so much easier than eyeballing a number, adjusting the value in the advanced options, restarting playback to check, and repeating until acceptable.

Please tell me something like this will potentially be part of MC18?

Welcome to the forum.

I use A/V sync to handle projector lag.  But I haven't encountered many videos that need additional correction.  Do you know what the cause is when this is needed?

Are you hoping to change the setting per-file (and have it remembered per file) or to just change the global setting?

+1. Would be great to do this on a per file basis.

For me A/V gets out of sync typically with DVB recordings because of broadcast company's incompetence (constant lipsync issue) or disturbances in signal leading to a slightly broken stream/file.

Yes, please.

Thanks for the replies!

For me, saving it per-file would be a nice-to-have.  Just looking for a way to reduce it to a couple seconds of fiddling at the start of playback, rather than a minute or so plus having to stop/start playback.
