Is this possible on a video that’s 10 seconds or more out of sync?

I don’t see how. Wouldn’t it be quicker to download it and adjust the sync on which player you use ?

Sadly, youtubes are rarely better than 360 resolution.

Pretty simple for a one time thing. Basically just go to a YouTube download site like KeepVid and put in the YouTube URL, and then it’ll give you a download link.

Though, apparently, there’s [an online website that will let you adjust the sync](http://youtubeaudiosync.tumblr.com/). It’s running on top of Tumblr, so it’s probably fine. I’m having trouble getting it to work, though. And you’d have to nudge it a lot.

There are Youtube download plug-ins for your browser. I use one named (appropriately enough) “Youtube Audio and Video Downloader” on Firefox. You start playing the video, choose the resolution for the download (from whatever resolutions are available at Youtube–no conversions are done on your end) and download.
