I had the same fear until a couple of weeks ago, INv8r_ZIM, and I'm so glad I took the trouble to overcome it. I got all seven movies I mentioned above for $11, and that's about the cost of a single DVD or a decent bottle of wine.
If people really want all these things, without waiting ages for them to appear on torrent, they have to take steps to get them. I understand the reluctance; I really do: I used torrent for years rather than learn to use rapidshare or newsgroups, but now I honestly wonder why I waited.

sorry to here about the issues you are having. I do have an idea how to fix this for you.
Download TSMuxer. Load the .m2ts file into it. untick the main video file and select demux to demux all the audio tracks. Once this is done retick the video file and remove all the other tracks (subs too i'm afraid). keep TSMuxer open.
Now you'll need Besweet to import the audio tracks into to convert them to 23.976fps. load each audio file into besweet individually and select ac3 as the output. Now for the 5.1 track you need to click on the "ac3 & ogg" tab. change the bitrate to 640 and click back on the besweet tab. now tick "change framerate" and input 24000 into the first box and 23976 into the second. now output your 5.1 audio track. now for the 2 other audio tracks do the same as above but change the bitrate to 192.
Now you have your new audio tracks import them all back into TSMuxer. Make sure that the 5.1 track is the first audio track in the list below the video file. Now click on the video stream to highlight it. Tick the "change fps" box and change the value to "24000/1001". This will just change the header in the video to play at 23.976fps and doesn't add or remove any frames. Now select "create bluray" as the output and create your folders. Once this is done open imgburn and import both the BDMV & Certificate folders and change the udf file system to 2.50 and burn. everything else should be done automatically by Imgburn.
Hope this helps
Okay, I followed these steps and the audio and video are back in sync. Actually I think they are possibly still a frame or two out if you look very closely, but nothing that you'd notice unless you really looked. Funnily enough the moment when the Jawas jump R2 seems to be pivotal somehow as I can still hear him fall before he is seen to fall on screen. Weird! Especially as all the other effects are in sync.
Unfortunately there is now popping in the audio, which wasn't there before, although the audio is not noticeably quiet. I'm not 100% clear on the instructions for using eac3, which followed. Can anyone explain them more clearly? I wouldn't even attempt to use the program without a GUI, as I'm at the limits of my current technical know-how at the moment.
I had to take the ac3.dll from the latest beta of Besweet and use it with the latest stable build, as my copy was missing an ac3.dll. Could this have affected the audio?
Thanks for any help whatsoever.
