I hate to revive a topic that has been covered before, but I still cant find a good solution for this film. I've succesfully used the CCE/Maestro Trilight guide for about 30 movies now and I've finally come across a movie where the audio has not synched up: Matrix (NTSC). I've scoured the forum, even read this huge ass post
http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?threadid=20433
I found multiple threads about the Matrix being out of synch through out the forum and ultimately been unable to find a workable answer to this synch problem, which I imagine is shared with a few other films as well. As some of you know, there are two types of synch problems: a simple time offset between video and audio OR a gradual loss of synch. This is the problem with Matrix. It starts out perfectly synched and gradually goes out. The ac3 for it shows a -101ms delay. I've tried various demuxing tools (dvd2avi,smartripper,dvdecrypter) and ac3 delay corrector. I've also tried in Maestro to crete a synced audio track and nothin'. No luck. Maestro shows that the audio appears to be several seconds longer than the video. This may be a function of the multi-PGC nature of the film.
The only thing I can think of trying is to either try avisynth instead of vfapi OR to use another authoring tool (ifoedit?). However, I doubt either would solve my problem.
Now, I imagine many of you pro's have succesfully backed up this movie to DVDR, after all, it is a favorite of our demographic. Any helpfull insights would be greately appreciated.
So A couple of weeks later I finally solved this. Of course, as I should have known, it came down to an issue of improperly extracting the video because of seamless branching issues. I basically decided to start from scratch, and used the DoItFast4U tool to produce my MPV video file. I CCE'ed it, threw it into maestro and all was well. Movie came out perfect. So the key was to use the DoItFast method, following the Doom9 guide for it and just extract the proper pgc. Additionally, I had a couple of interesting sound (AC3) notes, which I will post in the audio forum.
