Thanks to the many who responded--and boy am I glad I spend most of my
time fixing audio files rather than video.
Chev's mention that the thing played fine after he converted it to MKV
prompted me to convert the AVI file to MPG using AVS Video Converter,
which I've used successfully many times before. That file came out at the
correct AR, but the audio was wildly out of sync with the video: a
fraction of a second at the start, but over 8 seconds by the end.
So I installed the Handbrake converter program that Chev suggested, and
sure enough, as was his experience, it produced an MKV file that was
fine. But when I fed that file to my usual DVD creator, Nero Video, the
audio/video sync went way out of alignment again.
So I got the program that Fred Bloggs suggested, ConvertXtoDVD, and used
it to burn the original AVI to DVD--and it came out fine.
I get the impression that the answer to such things is to try everything
and see if something works. Ain't very scientific, though.
