Personally, I prefer MPlayer, but I'm a command-line sort of person; its
GUI(s) aren't necessarily all that great, and in any case I'm not sure
how far up to snuff its Windows ****t is.
When I need to give someone running Windows a player which will handle
most things, I point them at VLC; it's based on libavcodec/libavformat,
and while I haven't exactly tried to stress-test it, but so far it's
played everything I've asked it to out-of-the-box without problems.
To the original question: in my experience, when A/V desync increases
over the course of playback, there are usually one of two causes: either
your computer is too slow to play the file at full speed, or the frame
rate of the video is wrong. With MPlayer, the playback frame rate can be
adjusted on the command line with the -fps option; whether other popular
players allow the same sort of adjustment I don't know offhand, but if
so you might try tweaking that and seeing if the desync disappears.
