Another very frustrating issue that doesnt seem to have an apparent cause.

I am having audio/video desync issues where the video seems to lag behind the audio by a split second. It seems to occur after I encode the video. The encoded video file plays fine on VLC and a little out of sync on WMP. However, when I upload to Youtube or Vimeo, it gets much worse (particularly on Firefox, though Chrome isnt too much better).

Video is called SWR Ep1 P1 (by Dreamtime Visions Productions) on vimeo. Can't post link due to being a new user.

I have tried many tests, but nothing seems to fix it. I did notice however that Mediainfo is saying my compressed video has a variable bit rate, yet I specified constant bit rate (320kbs). When I look in Premiere at the length, the audio appears slightly longer than the video, Mediainfo says 8:15 video vs 8:16 audio. This occurs when I encode with X264/AAC using Avisynth/Megui or Handbrake and even straight from Premiere using H.264/AAC. If I try encoding with WMV or using AC-3 or MP3 as audio codecs, it stays solid CBR and it seems more in sync.

While this suggests that soemthing is wrong, I still have no idea what is causing the audio/video desync and it is extremely frustrating.

Details below:

Original source: 1280x720, 120fps from a video game, audio is from a range of sources (mostly 44100 khz but some higher/lower sample rates)

Premiere sequence settings: 1280x720, 59.97 fps, progressive, square pixels, 48000khz, stereo

Export settings: Uncompressed AVI, 1280x720, progressive, square pixels, 59.97 fps (for downloadable copy) or 29.97 fps (for Youtube/Vimeo), 48000khz, stereo, 16 bit sample type

Avisynth script:

AVISource("J:\Final Render\59.94 fps\Vimeo\Part 1\Film Sequence Part 1.avi", audio=false).AssumeFPS(30000,1001)
#deinterlace
#crop
#resize
#denoise
ConvertToYV12(matrix="rec601")

What Ive tried (all without success):

-- Tried exporting at 30 fps
-- Tried resampling some clips at 44100khz and exporting at 44100khz
-- Tried different sample types
-- Tried encoding with Handbrake instead of Megui

Im looking for a solution to this problem, no matter how tedious. The release of this movie has completely stalled and Im quite concerned because I have no idea what the cause of the problem is to fix it.
