    I had a divx film with a corrupt frame half way through causing the audio to go out of sync, so I stripped the audio to a wav and edited it so its back in sync.

    Now is it possible merge the wav back into the avi without loosing video quality?

    Mazer, the answer to your question is "yes." Use VirtualDub to open your video then on the audio tab choose "WAV Audio" and browse to your edited wav file. Make sure under Video, Direct Stream Copy is selected and under Audio, Full Processing Mode is selected. Then under Audio, click Compression and select your MPEG-3 encoder @ 128kb/s 44,100 and you should be ok. If you want to make sure your audio and video are synched properly, use a program called Simple Synchronizer to open the avi and the wav so you can get the proper offset to type into VirtualDub - Audio - Interleaving - Audio Skew Correction - Delay Audio Track by: ____ ms (milliseconds).

    Don't forget, you may need to fix that bad frame in your video before all is said and done :)

    Thanks Pop, The audio's in sync all the way through now :)
    I fixed the video using avi fix joiner and I had to get the radium codec so I could encode higher than 56kb/s.
