I think you'll find that the problem is more inherent as a result of the fps being used rather than the container - anything outside of 24fps works perfectly in sync, outside of that there is a delay - mostly reported at around the 200 - 250 ms mark.

im telling you, at least on my setup with nvidia gt430, x264/h264 are perfect, its something with the container and how xbmc plays it. and as far as the 200-250ms mark, the new builds seem to be better than that. the new beta build and the audio engine build aren't off by that much, they are off to be annoying, but not grossly off like the old build was. I sync to display using video clock drop/dupe audio, maybe that helps?

I think the solution would be to reencode the avi's to h264, although once they in that container, I don't know if that will help.

EDIT: I'm willing to try reencoding an xvid to h264 and see if that makes it better if anyone can tell me what program and a simple way to do it. I just mostly look for h264 content now, but a lot is in xvid so I miss out on a lot of stuff.
