I personally think IE has an excellent COD for both R/S and Security, but
their decision to go with Adobe was a big mistake. There was no sync problem
with Audio / Video with their previous software, it even worked fine on
Dail-up.

Getting rid with Adobe and getting something better would solve all this.
