audio delay doesn't work after 900ms

[ZenMasta]

Hi, I have a couple of movies where the audio is about 3 seconds too fast. However I can't seem to get vlc's delay to work. I incrimentally tried up to
(ctrl+k)900 ms even though I can't really see/hear the difference but as soon as I go past 900ms it's as if it just goes from a small incriment to minutes delayed? I've tried listening and I can't find out how delayed or sped up it is its that big of a difference.

Any ideas? Also, for testing sake, if I decrease the delay (ctrl+l) then it seems as if it actually pauses the movie fora few seconds and then plays, but the audio

I decreased to about 5550 ms and when I played from the bookmark I set it doesn't actually play any video for about 3.5 seconds and then

example movie is at 6:15 seconds someone says "3, 2, 1, action" e but you wont actually see the lips move until about 6:18.

When I decrease delay to 5550 the sound sill start but the picture will remain still for about 6 seconds (well counting in my head but I'm sure its just 5550ms) Then once the picture starts moving at 6:22 you can see the lips move to match the words "3, 2, 1, action".
Additionally, if I click pause the picture will continue playing for 5550 ms.

Have you tried increasing file cache value from VLCs settings?

[ZenMasta]

where do you do that?

In case this has anything to do with cache, I'm not streaming. These are files on my pc.

Preferences -> Inputs/Codecs -> Access modules -> File and Cache value (tick Advanced options)

Hey this worked for me! I set the cache to 10000 ms and was able to set the delay for as much as i needed. Thanks for the help.
