Chronicles of Narnia sync problem

[hoops10]

Ok, I have done my homework on this one and done some research before posting here. I know this movie is protected my Ripguard. But no matter what I do, I keep getting the same audio sync problems. The sound is like 2-3 secs ahead of the video. I have tried ripping the dvd with DVD Decryptor by file mode, and then using FixVTS to process it. Then I used the Big 3 on it. I then tried ripping the files using DVDD again, then used VobBlanker on it and processed all the files. I then used the Big 3 on it.

So far, no luck. The audio sync problems are all exactly the same as if I just used the Big3 on it without any steps before it. This is the R1 release. Please help. Thanks.

Hi!

1) have you tried playing the rip made with DVD Decrypter v.3.5.4 plus VOBBlanker on your PC "as DVD" (not individual .VOBs), using an appropriate software player such as WinDVD, PowerDVD, or VLC player? - to make certain that it's in synch before processing with "Big 3".

2) If it IS in synch, as an experiment, try compressing it with a different program, such as DVD Shrink - and see if it remains in synch. if so, the problem lies with "Big 3"

You can try to rip and process the dvd with pgcedit (the special plugin). I've had good results with that combo on some protected dvds. Sync issues are usually caused by strange cells and vobids.

flu: I am going to try the method you suggested. I am going to use the PGCEdit and special plugin to rip the dvd, and then make an iso of it. I will then use the Big3 on it and report back.

flu: It seems you were right again. I used PGCEdit and the special ARCCOS plugin wizard. I then used the Big3 on it and no more audio sync issues. Weird thing was, it didn't create a PSL2 file and there were no errors in dvd decryptor when ripping. Thanks.

flu: Do you always process all the dvds you backup with pgcedit and the special plugin?

Weird thing was, it didn't create a PSL2 file and there were no errors in dvd decryptor when ripping.That's because the disc is "RipGuard" protected, NOT "ARccOS" protected - and all it required was ripping ALL files with DVD Decrypter and then running it through VOBBlanker (Make sure to select "Process all" and then press the "Process" radiobutton)...

I only use this if necessary, but i do not come across many problematic titles.
