[Nottingham] mp4 playback audio slippage (loss of sync)

[Dan Caseley]

I was joining avi video files a good while back and had the same sound
problems. I have this script left over in my bag of tricks. I almost
certainly pinched it from a forum somewhere because I really don't know
what I'm doing with video content.

#!/bin/bash
for f in *_full.avi
do
OUTF=$(echo "$f" | sed "s/.avi/_final.avi/g")
mencoder -forceidx -oac copy -ovc copy "$f" -o "$OUTF"
done


HTH,

Dan
