I used the lastest version of DVDFab to decrypt Salt to my hard drive, after re-encoding it mkvtools tells me - This AC3 track contains 1792 bytes of non-AC3 data which were skipped The audio/video synchronization may have been lost.

Is this a case of a bad rip due to the program, as i have heard dvdfab does do ome strange things at times, or is there a way to fix it short or re-ripping?

1) Which is your original source material, a commercial Blu-ray or a commercial DVD?

2) To what format are you re-encoding the DVDFab decryption?

3) Did you play the DVDFab rip, to see if it is out of synch?

1) a commercial DVD

2) Using MeGUI to encode the vobs to x264

3) It happens from time to time but if you move the slider backwards or forwards a few seconds mpc-hc puts the audio back into sync

Sounds like the problem arose after (not because of) the ripping.

On the other hand, it should be no big deal to re-rip your original DVD...

If the Salt version you have is that "3-in-1" version, then you have to "edit" the version you need in pgcedit/vobblanker to remove the problematic zones, the tiny cells. I don't remember whether this disk contained bad sectors.

Yes its the 3 in one by the looks of it, i will give it a look over after i have re-ripped it, once i get it back from my brother, who decided to "borrow" it while i was working nightshift :mad:

If it's just the main movie you are after, extract the main movie from the copy on your hard disk with DVD Shrink to a new VIDEO_TS folder, then delete the useless cells in PgcEdit and then run FixVTS. That should give you a clean source for MeGUI.

AH! I had forgotten about fixVTS, thanks for jogging the old grey matter, to be honest i havent used it in a while as i didnt think it would work on the newer dvds, but heres hoping :-)
