I'm a little new to this so if someone could help me I'd appreciate it. When I rip one of my DVD's to disk, I use DVD Decryter and demux the output to .m2v and .ac3 files. The title of the ac3 file contains the delay time and I think this is causing my problem. When I pull the assets into Maestro, the audio is offset the further in the movie it gets. Is this the reason? How do I fix it in Maestro to add or subtract the number of miliseconds to make it right? I tried the audio sync process, but it didn't work, the delay still gets worse.

HELP!!

You're not correctly using the drop-frame flag. Follow the guide and set the drop-frame flag accordingly. This is why it gets progressively out of sync. In fact, anything that gets progressively out of sync is always an incorrect drop-frame issue.

Thanks for your reply! But I don't see that in any of the guides anywhere. Could you point me in the right direction? Is it in DVD2AVI or Meastro or what?

Not sure which guide you are following. Go here... http://dvdguides.trilight.net and follow the Single-PGC guide which is geared towards Maestro.

Thanks Trilight!

I will do my best to follow the guides as much as possible. However, I don't have CCE, I use TMPG. Is that a problem??

DVD -> DVD Decrypt -> VOBs

VOBs -> DVD2AVI -> .ac3 + .d2v

.d2v -> TMPG -> .m2v

.ac3 + .m2v -> Maestro

Is this a good scenario to use??

Shouldn't matter I suppose. However, I must warn you the Maestro guide was only written for Single PGC (as the link clearly shows) titles. If your project is multi-PGC, the guide will not work properly for you.

ddepuemd-

TMPG caused my audio sync problems, as soon as I switched to CCE the audio problems went away. I've since made over 100 dvd's with CCE all with perfect audio.
