In the last few days I have been trying to sync the audio track from TR47s DVD to my PAL video track. This was not very succesful, because the audio desyncs at several places during the movie. I found out that this happens because my german LDs seem to miss some frames in some scenes. I compared these scenes with footage from other SW versions.
My german OT LDs really miss frames that exist in every other OT version I checked (including older german LDs). Some of these scenes are frame-identical to the SE versions, but others not.
The Leia / Darth vader mindprobe scene is one example I found.
You can watch a sample clip here:

in the beginning the german PAL LDs and NTSC LDs are in sync, but the hallway scene is 5 frames shorter than the NTSC version.
In the SEversion this scene has exactly the same number of frames, but the scene with the tie fighters flying to the death star is about a second longer.
There are other places in the movie with similar "frame loss" but this is the worst I found so far.
All this makes synching the audio to my video track very troublesome.
