500ms Audio Delay on all rips

[dar1us]

Hello my friends,

firstly, thanks for autogk, i haven't done any ripping in time (*cough* broadband *cough*) and this wonderful program wasn't out in my day, it is top notch for ease of use, as i dont have the time to fiddle like i used to.

i am trying to copy a couple of series of the OC, my disks are the UK Fullscreen ones, every time i do a rip, it ends up looking beautiful (i am ripping 4 episodes at a time, around 2:50:00 in total per disc and setting autogk to a total filesize of 1492 (so i can fit 12 episodes on to a dvd pretty neatly) and then splitting them afterwards with virtualdub).

my problems are occuring with the audio track, there is a uniform delay of 500ms on every resulting file, i can't work out why, it is simple enough to correct in virtualdub afterwards (i do it in one go with the splitting stage). it is some copy protection feature of the dvd's (i read that on a different thread, but wasn't sure so posted here), or is it a flaw with autogk... i am at university and the only dvds i have handy are series 1 and 2 of the oc...

any suggestions?

edit: yeah, my bad, i deleted all my log files, but i am brewing one up now for you all to gaze over if anyone can be bothered,thanks again, miles

You might consider first ripping the episodes individually with DVD Decrypter in IFO mode.

i will give it a go, but i take it you are only suggesting it as a solution to fix the audio skew, not as a general suggestion, because i am happy with the method i am using.

Hi!

You might want to review the VirtualDub "Audio/Video interleave" settings (from the "Audio" dropdown menu)...

AutoGK's latest few releases haven't worked very well with episodic DVDs, plus some have advanced copy protection that AutoGK can't defeat. Pre-ripping with DVD Decrypter is one step that eliminates two (Separating the individual episodes and adjusting the audio skew). The downside is that you have to load the individual episodes into AutoGK one at a time, but that only takes a couple seconds each.

What player are you using?

The reason I ask is that once I was using Media Player Classic and I messed up the audio delay feature that is built into the player. Every movie I played was out of sync.

I know this is so stupid that no body else has ever done it.
