Loss of sync at Vimeo on Video longer than 15 min

Just a point of information for Vimeo users.

Vimeo seems to lose sync on many videos longer than 15 minutes or so. This problem has been well documented here:Vimeo discussion
The solution seems to be to render at 30fps not 29.97. I have yet to fully confirm this.

While trying to solve this problem, I did discover an free encoder called "HandBrake" which seems to work very well for H.264 and solved my lose of sync problem on a 17 min upload. Here are the settings recommended by Mike (at Vimeo) for Handbrake: Mike's HandBrake settings Worked for me.

Just to close off this thread for anyone doing a "search" on this little problem in the future. I tried encoding using Vegas at exactly 30fps as suggested on Vimeo . This works. At least for a length of 17-18 min. Sync was maintained. (Apparently 24fps works also but 29.97 does not!) It's a work around to be sure, but I'm not complaining. Vimeo, on the whole, offers a great service at no charge. Once again the "user" community came to the rescue but Vimeo does provide the forums as does Sony here. Hope this helps some frustrated user in the future.
