This isn't really a computer problem, but I didn't know where else to put it.

Yesterday I tried converting a .str file (PlayStation video file) to .avi using a freeware program called Super, so that I could view it in WMP. The conversion worked fine. When I started playing the AVI, it was okay at first. Then about thirty seconds into the video, I noticed that it had slowed down a lot and couldn't catch up with the audio. Like for example, you hear a character speaking but their mouth isn't moving, and then a few moments later their mouth starts moving. You get the idea. Anyway, I've also tried converting the STR to ASF, WMV, MPG, MOV, MP4, and FLV, but I got the same results with all of them. I even tried separating the video and audio into two different files, then importing them to Windows Movie Maker, to see if I could somehow re-align the audio. That's when I noticed that the video had a longer run-time than the audio. This has left me more confused than ever. All I know is it has something to do with the STR file. By the way, the STR file itself doesn't have this problem. It plays properly. The problem only occurs when I convert it.

I do believe thats the built in security um id try and find a program that plays str files rather then convert it try flv an wha not to play it. Odds are the sync is being lost but its not worth the trouble to fix it....
