[MPlayer-users] Concatenating AVI files - audio sync problem

[Dariusz Andziak]

Hi,
Try to use option -nobps to your second example. I have repaired some 
AVI files with A-V synchronisation problems using this option. Probably 
you will have to re-encode your file, it means -ovc lavc -lavcopts .... 
instead of -ovc copy.
Greetings
