I’m going to torrent it somewhere, I have the version Jimbotron made for me with an added french track I had sent him
I did a comparison in Virtual Dub of the 3 versions I have, my Z2 retail, a Z1 rip I found, your V2 restore.
I took a scene every 10000 frames and looked what the actual start frame was on each version

So you see the Z1 and Z2 version are in sync ( there is a 168 frames jump at a moment but I checked and the Z1 has a 168 frame black scene).
But your version slowly drifts from -3 (initial offset) to -85.This can't be corrected by just editing 2 scenes, and unfortunately will prevent adding foreign language tracks and subtitle tracks to your version to built the ultimate "all version" like the Harmy Star Wars edit.
Still, I aknowledge the hard work it must have been to edit the movie scene by scene, and perfectly understand if you want to keep it as it is. Even if it means I'll have to continue watching my awful PAL DVD ;-)
Thanks!

Sorry about that. If you sent me the audio, I could sync it for you.
Thanks, will do that !
ok thanks
but a "frame accurate" version would have allowed anyone with a theatrical cut DVD in any language to make his own localized version ....
Hi,
Unfortinately I can't get it to sync correctly in French, I'm off 3-4 seconds at the end.
I checked with 2 test scenes in virtual dub
first one "the horse" in the beginning
last one "the chair" after we see the guy in the cage
first source : my PAL DVD
horse : 905 chair : 221982 diff : 221077
second source : PAL Divx found somewhere
horse : 898 chair 221975 diff : 221077
third source : mkv Z1 "dvdrip westdenco"
horse : 897 chair 222142 diff 221245
4th source : V2 official version
horse : 902 chair 221897 diff 220995
So it's hard to get sync when there are so many "theatrical" versions..
I'll try to timestretch to fit in but clearly there are not the same number of pictures...
Just bought the old french DVD, and converted it to 23.976 fps. So now I don't have to stand the 4% PAL speedup pitch shift which is very noticeable.
Can't wait for your new mkv to paste the french track on it and enjoy the movie!
I can also sent it to you if you wish to make a multilanguage version.
