Ok, all the arguing thats going on now, just quiet down and read my post.

As I mentioned earlier, I planned on watching this with my mom tonight. Well, I put it in the DVD player and it gives me a "video resolution not supported message." So I think "oh what a pain in the ass I've got to re-encode this." So I re-encode it, stick it in the player and watch it with her. And to my amazement, the video and audio is much more in sync! I kept waiting for all the parts where her lips were either ahead of or behind the vocals and while I haven't watched the entire thing yet, it is soooo much more in sync than the original file.

I don't know how or why my re-encoding fixed it because usually if the audio and video of something is out of sync, simply re-encoding without the original source of the file, will not fix it. But somehow it did.

I'm much more relieved now. I still feel there were a few songs that were lip synched, like obviously Angel's Song for example, but at least now the concert doesn't appear 75% lip synched as the original file made it look.

:does a happy dance:
