I experienced that after ripping a DVD to an iso file to my harddrive. 
When VLC played it back, the sound was ~slightly~ delayed, enough to be 
annoying. So, I tried a different ripper. I used handbrake and ripped it 
to an mp4 file. Plays just peachy.

I didn't thing such a tried and true multimedia app like VLC would just 
fold up on me. Turns out it didn't, it was the quality of the file I was 
playing back that didn't have the sound synced properly to the video.

YMMV though, is it doing that to ALL of your files or just a few? 
Store-bought or homegrown? :) Ric
