After a little experimentation, I think the problem must only arise with transcoding. mplayer with no extra command-line options plays fine for A/V sync, although every single frame has little jagged edges where the motion occurs. If I add in subtitles and -vf pp=lb or yadif, the sync still appears to be fine. But when transcoding to x264, the sync gets off very quickly, and gets *way* off. I don't think it's a constant value either. The reason I am transcoding and deinterlacing is I am trying to put the content in an MP4 container that can be streamed to (or played on) a Sony PS3. There is no way to stream the subtitle track to the PS3 from a DVD; it needs to be baked into the video. (A PS3 also cannot play a VIDEO_TS folder other than as individual VOB files, rather than a DVD structure). If I don't deinterlace, the MP4 on the PS3 shows all the jagged lines in every frame. But I can't find a way to transcode with deinterlacing that doesn't ruin the A/V sync badly. Adam
