pray you fuckers never have to work in checking if a video is in sync with the audio source. (EDIT : because once you do, you start to notice slight drifts in video/audio sync)
Where the fuck do the players hide the option to change it, which stupid key did I press to nudge it back slightly so the plosives are miliseconds behind, I HAVE TO FIX IT BUT I AM WATCHING IN COMPANY BUT IT BOTHERS ME AND I DON’T WANT TO STOP
If you click “Tools” then “Track Synchronization” it allows you to delay or… speed up? Whatever the opposite of delay is… the audio by fractions of a second. A godsend. So many things would have been unwatchable otherwise.
Seems like it also has a similar option for syncing up subtitles but I haven’t used that.
I haven’t worked in the field, but oh boy do I ever notice it. Is it the player? The display? The receiver? I don’t know, and I will fuck with it until it’s tolerable… and then something drifts and I’m clawing at the walls again. Yes, something in my setup sucks, but the gear is all from ~2017 and I’m broke. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
My Xbox is connected to the 1080p/low latency HDMI port on my display, with the audio going over optical directly to my receiver, stereo only, foregoing 4K and surround sound for the express purpose of playing Rock Band with as little latency as possible. The two types of guitar and the drum set have slightly different optimal calibration settings in the game. The whole reason I bought a 360 over a PS3 back in the day was that the guitars were still wired, and trying to calibrate while playing on my friend’s PS3 was next to impossible and spawned a lot of arguments.
Today, that same friend contentedly watches content 1/4-1/2 second out of sync. And his wife prefers watching everything with subtitles. So I have to actively ignore both distractions and pretend everything’s fine to be a good friend. 🫠

VLC has an option…
