 	I have also found this to be true.  Unfortunately, the last time I 
tried to use 'nuv2avi' to convert a transcoded file to a vanilla 
windows-happy AVI file, the A/V sync was broken throughout the file.  I 
don't know if this is still the case, but I don't think nuv2avi has been 
updated since then.

 	I would venture to say that there are a couple of reasons why it's 
been a problem.  The .nuv container is widely unused and myth tweaked it a 
bit.
