“Hey guys! I am facing an issue with my AVI file. It was downloaded two days back, after experiencing abrupt power outages. As a result of this my video and audio aren't syncing correctly (audio is ahead by a little). I have installed the program called as Virtual Dub, and tried doctoring it to sync together, but the audio file of the AVI file is truncated (is 20 bytes, should be 30) and then it says it can't read the audio of the file. Does anyone know how to fix my AVI file, or how to get this audio file to be synchronized with the video? Any repair utility that can be used to overcome the problem?”
