I saw your post awhile back on a certain Usenet anime group and was thinking of contacting you for the mkv file.
I have already finished timing my rip of the Viz dub audio to the Korean DVD video.
I just need to extract it from the finished video file and send it to bkev afterward. I don't have the dub audio for "Adieu Galaxy Express 999", so your copy of that movie's dub audio would be pretty helpful.
I'll get around to it.
Mines more like yours.
Somehow I think Viz (or Ocean) may have tampered a little with the frame rate. The audio in my edit comes on correctly when a character moves their mouth, but voice stops before the mouth does at times.
It's funny, because I did my own restoration of this film back in 2000 where I composited the same dub audio over a letterboxed Japanese VHS tape and it seemed a little better. Hmmm.

EDIT: I just spot-checked the very last scene where Tetsuro is chasing the 999 and it is very slightly out of synch in a few places. So, since you did some additional editing your track may be better after all. I'll see what bkev wants to do. I'm still sending him my edit.
My edit is still watchable, but not 100% perfect synch like the original Viz tape was. Ocean (the dubbing studio) used a process called WordFit, where they tried to perfectly match each lip flap.

It's not so much a problem of tampering with the audio or visuals as VIZ's copy of the film differed from the master used for the Japanese/Korean DVD releases, and it only went out of sync in a few places where there are reel changes (indicated by those little circles on the top-right of the screen if you noticed). The last half-hour of the film was where I had the problem occurring and only assumed it was a fault in the pitch of the audio/picture if it was time-compressed a bit (the movie lasting roughly 120 minutes so I assume VIZ wanted to squeeze in promos in that fashion than to run out of tape).
