The desynchronization between audio and video during playback on the Netflix platform, where the sound lags behind the visuals, creates a noticeable and often frustrating viewing experience. For example, characters’ lips may move before the corresponding dialogue is audible, disrupting the immersive quality of the content.
Addressing this synchronization issue is important because it directly impacts user satisfaction and perception of the streaming service’s quality. Historically, such issues have been attributed to various factors, including network latency, device processing limitations, and encoding/decoding inefficiencies. Resolving these problems can significantly enhance the overall entertainment experience.
