with your sound sync, try the following. If you are using Win 95, you
should upgrade to Premiere 4.2 for $50.00.

with your sound sync problem you might also try turning off some caching
options in Win 95s control panel. In System, Performance, File system set
"read ahead optimization" to none. In Troubleshooting check the box called
"disable write behind caching for all drives." And finally "disable your
Virtual Memory" in the Virtual Memory section. Only do this if you have at
least 16 megs of ram. Reboot your Computer and try playing the AVI by
either double clicking the file, or opening Media Player. What I do, is
use my old version of Premiere, 4.0, to play these "final" AVIs. Last
time
I did this it solved my sync problems completely. I mean completely gone.
Like you, I've been fighting this problem forever. This seemed to solve
it. Also the "turn off optimize stills" in Premiere is good advice.
Remember to only use this setup when printing to video for your final
copies, because it does degrade the performance of Windows 95.

As for the sound settings of your final print AVIs, the following works
best for me: 1 second interleave, IMA ADPCM compression, 22 Khz 16 bit
stereo. The compression does degrade the quality, but not too bad, unless
you recompress it, then it suffers big time. I only use this setting for
final print, for AVIs that might be used in later AVIs, I choose no
compression with all of the above settings.
