" ... Only VLC media player plays the video files with normal sync audio i dont know why but VLC is badass but everything else will fail and i have not so far figured which video editor software to fix the audio issues, it will take time. ... So i learnt from other helpful people on the internet to use a free open source app called Handbrake to convert it into mp4 or m4v with some testing i set it to be m4v/mp3 audio codecs conversion and it makes a new video file that resyncs the audio issues which is 2x faster speed than normal on the V50x read by other video editors and players. ...
