Help with audio/video delay, sync issues with Mpeg

[Bowen747x]

im trying to fix some small concert clips that each have about a 2-3 second delay on the audio track, some are OK but others start fine and gradually get worse. im trying to read into this and i did search the forums but people are vauge and say to use AVI(which i normally do but these are different)

ive downloaded TMPGEnc & VirtualDub but i feel like a total newb, though i thought i successfully fixed a file using virtualdub, it now claims to not beable to load my mpeg and TMPGEnc is even more confusing to me. im also not playing these concerts on my PC but on an external harddrive with TV output (its almost like an ipod but designed for movies and plays over 200GB of movies AVI/DivX/Mpeg with no problems except for these concerts ) my PC shows no signs of sync issues but please, im willing to do whatever it takes to fix the audio delay. the flapping lips and botched playing is ruining the effect of watching my favorite band play!! any help is highly appreciated, ive been trying things all night but with no luck
