thanks for the tip. i did try changing the settings...but xmbc seems to be the culprit. works fine in VLC.

I'm also going to try playing it back on 2 different MKV media players...VLC and XMBC and see if the delay still happens.

Ok, I did. XMBC has a delay, VLC did not.

Yes, it does. Playing the dvd works fine, on dvd player, ps3 or dvd rom. After I make the mkv, playing them shows about a 4 to 5 second delay betweeen audio and video (the audio is ahead).

I just ripped us version of GITS - Stand alone complex disc 1. Looks great but the english audio is about 2-4 seconds out of synch of the video. I included subtitles (don't know if that has anything to do with it or not).
