[MPlayer-users] A-V getting out of sync on external audio stream

[james at azem.org]

well, to be honest, i think this is what keyframes were invented for, 
when lame encoded the mp3 it isnt as accurate as we would want, so if you have 
an mp3 editing program, you can slowly add silence at key points.
the best way is to estimate how far it is short at the end of the film devide 
by the length of the film and add it in equidistant pieces of about 10ms 
each. using a multitrack view, fine relocate these bits in to the soundtrack 
so that they are un noticable.

another way is to stretch the mp3 but ittl sound bad.
