Hi str8red and welcome to cdfreaks,

Sorry no one has reponded yet, but I'll give it a shot. (I'm a noob re: my Ipod and conversions).
First off, please don't double post...having multiple threads on the same topic only serves to fragment subject matter and frustrate ppl. giving advice or simply trying to follow a thread.

Maybe a mod could merge 2 of these 3 threads...thanks.

I haven't seen this particularly problem posted. AV sync problems have been fairly common, but seem to be fixable for most.

I have Man Of The Year, Catch & Release and Alpha Dog, but haven't converted these to mp4 as of yet. If you post your specs, I can see if the problem is reproducible.

Currently, I'm using the following configuration with absolutely flawless results...perhaps 30 movies so far. I'm able to plug my Ipod into a 32" flat screen TV and enjoy a very good quality picture.
