Out of sync video

Outofsync

I have some video clips of old performances. However, they were on VHS, then converted to DVD, then to video files and somewhere along the way the audio became out of sync with the video. They seem to be running at different speeds as well as some are in sync at the start but off by several seconds by the end, which means I can't just offset the audio by x amount. I've been wondering if there's a way in video pad that I could stretch/shrink the video as needed to re-align it with the audio (the audio is the correct one). It seems that's possible, but I really can't figure out how. If someone could nudge me in the right direction, it would be very helpful. Thank you.

Test the project in the current Videopad version. For licensed users upgrades are free for up to six months from purchase date. After that, VP will continue to fully function but a fee will be required in order to register the newest. Retain your old install file and registration info.

If audio is unlinked from video, via right-click on either track and choosing UNlink from... then it may be possible to split out sections of the performance and change the speed of those areas. Right-click | CHANGE CLIP SPEED. Tedious, but this has been known to succeed. Share the project and perhaps someone here will come up with an idea.

The process is easy, quick and can be done privately. Just follow these steps...

Back up --- With your project on the timeline, click on MENU at the top-left. Click FILE|BACK UP PROJECT FILES TO FOLDER. Choose a folder and SELECT FOLDER.
Upload --- Use a free server - Google Drive, MS OneDrive, etc.* - to upload the saved, numbered FOLDER. Do NOT upload the individual VPJ or export file.
Get link --- Get a public link. If using Google Drive click GET SHAREABLE LINK. If necessary change "restricted" to "anyone with the link can view"
Share --- Click COPY LINK | DONE. Paste that link here, or click the folder at the top-right of this forum to message it privately to me. It won't be shared.

* Before uploading, right-click the folder, click PROPERTIES. Look at the File Size to confirm that it's not too big for the free space on the server.

Was the file type loading into Videopad VOB (from the DVD)? Share a file or two...

Upload the file/s to a free server, such as Google Drive or MS OneDrive, get a shared (public) link, copy the link and paste it here or to me in a Private Message via the mail envelope in the top-right corner of this forum. When using Google Drive, if necessary change "restricted" to "anyone with link can view."Check back in with your findings.
