School For Scoundrels (1960 Alastair Sim)

In the British farce School for Scoundrels, Ian Carmichael plays a naïve young loser, Henry Palfrey, who is anxious to get ahead in the world. He enrolls in a "school" that specializes in teaching one-upmanship -- the slogan is "How to win without actually cheating." Through fair means and foul, Henry learns how to come out top dog in any situation, with such experts as (the real-life) Stephen Potter (Alastair Sim) as his guide. A perceptive series of comic blackouts exposing the essential hypocrisy in all walks of life, School for Scoundrels was based on the book by Potter. Please SEED Thank you

Anyone else having audio synch issues with this? Have tried vlc, mpc, ms media player and all lose audio synch after awhile.
Is there another player I should try?

Yes I am having synch issues when watching it in the DIVX player on xp. It starts about halfway through. I absolutely hate synch issues.
I am just about to burn it to a standalone player to see if that makes any difference. Would it improve the situation if I changed the file to DVD format?

bbees88 (2010-06-23)

I would think that the audio will still be out of synch after converting to dvd. Such a shame as it's a great movie.

Hey folks try VLC player it always works fine in this. Look I rip these Sim movies directly from DVD and haven't had a problem with any of them yet

Thanks for the rip Renman but sadly it drifts out of sync from about halfway. Any chance of a re-rip please?

No doubt audio is out of sync but changing track synchronization option in VLC media player to -1.300 seconds (minus 1.300) (-ve value for advance of audio over video option) will play it just right... To find "track synchronization", click tools in the VLC menu and then click "track synchronization"

Audio sync issues as well. I think you may be running into a problem with the software you are using, if I had to guess. As you say, VLC works fine but only after adjusting the audio/video sync at the point the audio starts lagging, which can be annoying in the middle of a film.
See my comments under your Cottage to Let upload for more info.

Thanks so much for this. As an Englishman abroad, these are a sweet taste of home for me : )
Re; sync issues... I've been using Daum Pot Player for a while now, it's free and allows incremental audio shifting. Don't how it will work with this one, I'll try it when it's DL'd.

Audio goes out of sync quite badly by the end,but still a great upload and much appreciated. Thanks
