[mythtv-users] Playing ripped videos: out-of-sync audio at times

Though not specific with xine, but I had a similar issue with mplayer.
i had to specify the vo option (video out to make it use the proper xv
driver, otherwise it was burning up cpu, and jacking up my audio.  also the
longer the video was playing, the farther out of sync it would get.  I
verified it was not the file by doing a "back/rewind" which would skip back
about 5 seconds, then resume playing.  that would immediately resync the
audio, then a little bit later it would become out of sync again.

1) I would verify cpu usage during playback. (remote ssh using top, etc).
See if cpu usage is high.
2) see if xine has a video out you can specify. (options are in database, or
configured via mythweb, or via frontend - specific to each frontend).
