<p>I've got an audio sync issue with a .mov file during playback via thumb drive on a samsung tv. I exported the clip using QuickTime Conversion, H.264 compression with 48 KHz for the sample rate.</p>

<p>I am currently using the same settings on multiple clips on the same playback devices (Samsung tv) all other clips are working fine.</p>

What's the data rate of the video clip? Does this happen on a particular thumb drive?

# Audio Sync Issues on playback via thumb drive

(Asked by: username_0 on 2015-09-23)

I've got an audio sync issue with a .mov file during playback via thumb drive on a samsung tv. I exported the clip using QuickTime Conversion, H.264 compression with 48 KHz for the sample rate.

I am currently using the same settings on multiple clips on the same playback devices (Samsung tv) all other clips are working fine.

Anyone know if there is a different compression type I should use? I'm not sure if that is the problem since all other clips are working fine. The sync issue has just started today.

The original video sources are being ripped from YouTube.

TIA!
Mike
