It has nothing to do with frame rate. Besides, I de-interlaced and converted the DVD video to 23.976 before building the edit.

The AC3 track (and LD for that matter) can’t be added untouched. The director’s cut video has dozens of shots that are 1-2 frames shorter as compared to the theatrical cut. This results in numerous instances where the video and DVD/LD audio go out of sync. I can fix this here and there by inserting duplicate frames where appropriate but for shots where a judder would be noticeable, I have to trim the audio by the appropriate amount of time, and then export the edited audio track.

I meant, use the AC-3 track from the 1997 DVD release which was the theatrical cut, instead of the 2002 ‘director’s cut’ DVD.
