When playing back audio/video streams, many playback devices try to recreate the audio and video clocks used for encoding. One means typically employed to recreate such clocks includes the use of a Phased Locked Loop (PLL) circuit. The audio and video should remain synchronized. However, many reasonable cost PLLs cannot recreate the exact video clock used for encoding. The synchronization of the video to the audio can be resolved by adjusting one or more of the dimensions (or other variables) that define the video being recreated. Changing the dimensions (or other variables) of the video allows for an adjustment of the output frequency of the PLL to a value that can be implemented.
