Thank you StephenB - I've just learned a whole lot of stuff I didn't know!
The key thing you said there was "However, if was not done in the original recording, it is not very easy to solve it later." I guess this is the main reason why it happens a lot - there's a lot of opportunities to get it wrong at the source, and then fixing it becomes too costly (it reminds me of recording, mixing and mastering in some ways; the earlier you make the error, the harder it is to fix later).
Given that it's such a complex problem with so many causes, I'd suggest that the most effective solution for the consumer is to allow an adjustable offset at the point of viewing - which is exactly what has been done with the WDTV Live. It's just a bit of a shame it doesn't allow finer control for those of us who are more sensitive to small differences. I wonder whether there's also a reason why they can't provide this feature with the DVD playback? I can't really think of one. At some point, whether you're watching an mp4 or an iso, it must have a video stream and an audio stream - isn't the opportunity for bolting on this feature the same in each case?
