Audio out of sync on Episode VI despecialized when played on Google Drive.

Hey guys, I’m doing a Machete Order marathon for Thanksgiving in a couple weeks, so I went ahead and got all the despecialized editions. However, my Blu-Ray discs will not be coming in time, so I will have to use google drive to watch them on my TV. Unfortunately, there seems to be an issue with ROJDE.mkv. When played on Google Drive, the audio seems to be out of sync with the movie by a few seconds. Just to be sure, I watched it on my HDD to be sure it wasn’t an issue with the file. Sure enough, audio was synced up perfectly. I also checked A New Hope DSE 2.5 on Drive. It works too. Is this an issue because ROJ is simply older?

Actually the audio for ROTJ Despecialized 1.0 is slightly out-of-sync. If what you’re seeing only starts after the final scene on Endor, and is most noticeable until partway through the battle on Endor, then this is what you’re seeing. The audio is about two frames off during that period, and then one frame off until the end of the film (I notice the two frame difference, but not the one frame difference).

You can either wait for the 2.x update or download a fixed audio track and mux it in yourself. PM me for a link to the fixed audio.
