Hi,

Unfortinately I can't get it to sync correctly in French, I'm off 3-4 seconds at the end.

I can explain those 3-4 seconds. There are two shots in the director's cut that I retained which were slightly shorter than the original. Each were the beginning of a shot with no dialogue, so after weighing the pros and cons, I decided to keep them rather than dropping them and replacing them with DVD footage.  That resulted in trimming the movie and sound mix by that length.

I had labeled this "frame accurate", but I didn't take these two shots into account.  Other than that, it is pretty much accurate frame for frame.

Shot 1: Beginning of scene with Constanze visiting Salieri. The first 1-2 seconds of the shot of Salieri walking up before saying "how can I help you?" are missing.

Shot 2: Scene where Mozart's father visits. After they hug, it cuts to a shot of the door opening. The first 1-2 seconds of that shot are missing.

If you edit the sound at those points, you might get your sync to work. However the missing 1-2 seconds from shot 2 includes music. I adjusted that particular section of the sound mix to preserve the music.
