I just converted the .vob files in Kiss of the Dragon to a Sorenson compressed quicktime file for the video and a .mp3 file for the audio. Playing them side by side, it seems that audio stays sync'd for a while, but then seems to start to lag behind. How can I fix this? And further, will I need FCP to combine the files or is there an option in Quicktime Pro?

From what I know, either the audio or the video runs slightly fast. The reccomended approach is to import the video into Final Cut Pro and extend its length to about 101% or so. Buy testing different configurations, you should be able to find the correct video speed.
The reason I have never sucessfully done this (and therefore can't be of much more help) is because it requires about 30 gigs of empty disk space. I've never had a computer with 30 gigs of disk space just sitting about.
So that is what you can try. A better guide can be found on many Carracho servers out there.

I'm not so sure that Kiss of the Dragon wouldn't be better with out of sync audio...

I'm a newbie to FCP... I've imported it then added the audio to the audio track and the video to the video track... how do you expand the video and audio and then, the big question: How do export and what kind of export do you do? (I'm really, really new to FCP)

don't use FCP for muxing or synching. It's overkill, and it will be working extra hard every time you move your cursor around to display the compressed video and audio.

see this page for instructions: synching movies with QTMutator
blackmail is such an ugly word. I prefer extortion. the X makes it sound cool
