wellll i dont know where to go from here so i am encoding it. this solves several problems for me. although of course we will see how the quality is before i edit. but what this does is gives me synced audio and i am able to hardcode the subs into the picture saving days of work. and it deinterlaces the 29.970 one. so i will be working with 2 progressive sources. i am using ripbot x264 with a high profile at over 4400 kbps. if this leads to noticeable quality loss i will raise the bitrate. beyond doing this i am stuck on trying to go about it by demuxing and repairing timecodes and making d2v and avs scripts. that method just is not working for me.
