MakeMKV causing audio sync issues

Post by Chris Hooper » Sat Nov 02, 2024 4:18 am

Does anyone know what would cause MakeMKV to rip a DVD that was originally 29.97 FPS to 29.761 FPS?
I de-interlaced the first DVD of 4 from the 1st season of the 1988 television show of War of the Worlds using QTGMC in AviSynth+ via VirtualDub2 and even an FFmpeg batch filed script after ripping it with MakeMKV with no problem, but on this 2nd DVD it won't rip it correctly, so when I de-interlace, it throws the audio completely out of sync.
Here's the media info from the ripped from DVD MakeMKV file:

I have no idea why you're seeing what you're seeing. I wonder, however, if you could use ffmpeg or Handbrake to force the frame rate to 29.97?

I assume the first/last field for the file is being discarded but, why would this cause audio sync problems? The only framerate'ish like attribute of audio is the bytes per second, i.e. 2 * 44100 * 2 = 176400. If there is a correlation created by the container, then the muxer should account for this (or preferably not if you think about it). Could you possibly have a player problem?
