Thanks for the visualization. I see the gap gradually grows throughout the movie. As I recall, I needed to make 1-frame edits to the sound mix here and there throughout. Shots in the director's cut would often be a frame shorter than the theatrical cut, I recall. Those obviously add up.

I'm not opposed to making a version 3, but the only way to effectively make up those missing frames would be to repeat frames or insert more DVD footage, two things I wouldn't want to do.

I could still sync your French audio for you if you wanted. It would have edits here and there, just as the English mix has.
