And I'm out.

I've tried using audio delay and changing the frame rate to sync the audio. No luck.
I tried the above tweak of preserving 30fps and converting back to 23.976. No luck.
I tried using dgindex's bad frame/field (.d2v.bad) file. No luck.
I tried preserving all 30 frames deinterlacing with kerneldeint for 30frame progessive. No luck.

This is kicking my butt. I'm out of every single brilliant idea in my head.

If there is anyone who thinks he can make this thing a properly sync'ed Xvid you have my blessing, 'cause I've got nothing.

Ok, I am a hypocrite. I'll admit that now.

As a result I put some determination into fixing some technical problems (as discussed in my Matrix Hacked thread) and successfully produced an .avi version of v2 of Matrix Reloaded Hacked.

I know it's an old edit (6-7 months) but if there IS interest I will find a torrent place for it (followed afterwards with Matrix Revolutions Hacked).

Success!

For those curious about the technical problems:
Womble caused some edit point to become 29.97 frames/sec even though all video footage used was 23.976.
As a result in DVD/mpeg2 format the audio syncs up fine, but since avi cannot handle variable frame rates, the video and audio got out of sync whenever the frame rate shifted.

The fix was cool.
With DGIndex I selected "preserve pulldown flags". Now I had a video that was fully 29.97. Sections that were 30fps stayed 30fps, the rest that was 23.976 got telecined on playback to 30fps.
With me? Ok, then I just IVTC'd the whole thing (telecide(order=0.decimate(cycle=5)) and BAM you have 100% 23.976 content.

700mb sized 2-pass Xvid with vbr mp3 audio.
Now my decision to post this will be based on anyone caring at this late a date.
Odds are you've seen this edit by now if you wanted to, but if a few people chime in I will definitely up it.

The quality is acceptable but size is the consideration here. If you want quality you can snag the DVD version later.

First ten minutes posted!

For those who can't do the whole 4 gig type deal, or for those impatient... here is the first ten minutes of the movie - labeled "part 1" on YouTube... subsequent parts will follow periodically, more like a tv show I guess... though I always will recommend the DVD over youtube... but here it is! Enjoy:

I'd really rather see an Xvid torrent...

I think you were referring to x264/H.264/AVC (which is all about the same thing). The quality of which can be fan-frickin'-tastic done correctly.
Ask the HD/BluRay people who made it part of the new standards (and anime buffs).
Bundled with 5.1 HE-AAC audio in an mkv container (mp4 as a container really isn't as nice), you can keep a manageable file size for a beautiful looking/sounding movie.

The downside is people ALWAY bitch about it not being divx/xvid/playable on their Xbox/Standalone divx-DVD player. It can also be a slow encoding comparatively if you don't have dual 64bit cores and Niagara Falls channeled across your CPU.

That said, given a choice I'll always lean toward an x264 over Xvid because it IS the future of compressed video and is very very very nearly ready for primetime.
