I'v been visiting the forum a long time and in all that time I havent yet posted any of my edits - mainly because I'v never followed any of them upto completion. The thing is, I work a little too slow. I started work on Superman II and then I got a HD TV and figured I may as well start again but with an HD source. Until then, I thought I'd revisit TPM to see if I can make it work for myself.
But one problem that has always occured for me is that the Audio and the Video have never been the same length. See here
Everything looks fine when it's zoomed out...

But now you see that despite the beginning of it being in line with each other, for some reason the audio is longer than the video.

On the last pic, ignore the fact that the timeline is different - it didnt save the 3rd example so I had to re-do it again.
But can anyone help me? I thought that perhaps it was a result of exporting a NTSC movie and then starting up a project in PAL. But this is not the case at all. The movie is Region 1 and thus NTSC and so is the video. The audio is 48hz so no sure if this could be causing it.
To export the footage im using DVD Decryptor and then fixing the time code errors in Womble.
I'v done an edit of the Pod Race and the bits leading upto it and I must say Im very pleased with the work. I feel it has an energy that it didnt before but I dont want to go the whole hog due to this error. Can anyone help?
