To be precisely correct it's not even a second I have to stretch this file
more but .155 of a second. Sounds like a small thing, however, for the
synchronizing audio and video it's 5 frames of NTSC video and it will
be noticeable. So really the best thing for me is just to make audio
slower to match it.

To that casual observer, this almost sounds "obsessive". Half the audio
that goes out over DBS satellite these days has audio that is more out of
sync than that.

I really, REALLY think that fooling around with the timebase, sampling
rate, "stretching" etc is the VERY HARD way to do this. It is SO MUCH
easier to slip pieces of the sound track back into sync at appropriate
points in the NLE that any other method just seems silly, at least IMHO.
