QT Sync is a QuickTime movie player.

Here are some key features of "QT Sync":
Watch your movies in Full Screen
Correct Audio/Video Sync problems "on-the-fly"
Change the Aspect Ratio of movies without losing quality (No re-encoding needed.)
Combine Movies, which have been splitted in several parts
QT Sync plays all QuickTime movie files. (This includes .mov, .avi, .mpg, etc.)
It has a normal and a Full screen mode.
The difference ("offset") between picture and sound is shown alternatively as "frames" (pictures), milliseconds or "TimeScale units" (the internal time unit of QuickTime).
You can enter the offset for video and/or audio tracks either in a nice little controller window or (in the Full screen mode) by using shortcuts.
QT Sync supports both the input of numerical values (you may have seen this in other "syncing" programs) and the "shifting" of tracks in adjustable steps.
The "sync"ed movies can be saved either as "Reference Movie" or "Self-Contained Movie" (QuickTime-compatible). (Saving as "Reference Movie" is recommended if the original movie file is not to be changed. A reference movie is only several 100 KB in size, because it does not contain the actual picture and sound data, but only controller data. But you always need the original movie file for playing.)

What's New:
Added: TimeCode Inserter Mode: "30 Drop Frame"
Added: FrameNumber Inserter.
Added: New Preferences Option: "Save Dialogs show:" Choose between the last Directory you saved to (default Finder behaviour) or the directory of the currently opened Movie.
Added Chapter about "Preferences" to the manual.
Known Issue: Moving the "TimeCode Inserter" Window quickly, while "Show Preview" is turned on, can cause the Preview Window to shrink and move along . Moving the TC Inserter Window out of the screen (while "Show Preview" is turned on), can cause the window to change its height and thereby rendering the "Cancel" and "Insert" buttons unusable. This bug was introduced by Mac OS X 10.4.5.
This also affects the "Crop Movie" window. With Mac OS X 10.3.9 this issue does not occur.
Workaround: Do not move the "TimeCode Inserter" / "Crop Movie" window quickly, while the "Show Preview" Option is turned on.

Requirements:
Mac OS X 10.3 or later
QuickTime (6.5.1 or later recommended)
Works with Tiger and QuickTime 7.
