Star Trek VI Single Disc DVD Sync problem

[Bob]

I think what messed up our hosts was Amazon.com listing BOTH versions of the movies with the exact same run time.   

[SecretAgentSuperDragon]

Yeah. I have no clue why the sync would drift in the middle of that scene. Maybe it was different. I didn't quite get the schnaapi joke, so maybe it was an alternate scene there.

I think the main thing here is RiffTrax needs to communicate right away what version they used. Maybe after the 20 questions is solved, they could post the movie poster, along with the release date, version used...etc.

Normally they are pretty good about this. But to avoid issues in the future, we should try to obtain the exact version Rifftrax used.

I did. Check here: http://www.rifftrax.com/smf/index.php?topic=1972.msg48406#msg48406

However it's not on the product detail page. I'll go add that now.

They only go by what it says on the box. If you contribute to DVD Profiler you will know from experience that run times on the box are wrong an incredible amount of time.

True dat.

P.S.  I love DVD Profiler.   Best way to log all your DVD for insurance purposes.   

[MrTorso]

Yeah hopefully I will never have to use DVD Profiler for insurance purposes.

Well we only had the 2 Disc set in office, and it appears it's the only one still in print, so hopefully that's what the majority of people will have.  It seems strange to me that if the cuts of the movies are actually different, that you would only go out of synch by a second or two.  The difference between the two versions Mr Torso describes would result in a completely different synch problem.  Yours sounds like the problem people get with layer changes instead of an entire scene missing error. 


We have a note about the edition up now.

Same here, I found a 3+ sec delay. I deleted some audio before 1:26:27, now DA and DVD are synced. Although, at  1:35:00, DA suffered another delay, where I performed the same task. The final DA was synced, no change. After watching the movie, it looks as if some lines are still going to have to be moved a little forward.

I was able to sync Rifftrax to DVD audio. Thanks again.

I fixed mine by pasting 3 seconds of silence into the riff at 1:23:18, and then cutting 1 second of silence of the riff at 1:26:31. Try that out.

For reauthors, apply the above info into your audio mixing(i.e. cutting 3 seconds at the first mark, and then cutting 1 second at the second mark.)

OK, question.  Do I need to paste three seconds of silence in or cut three seconds out?  And just to clarify, I'm cutting one second at the second mark, right?

Thanks for noticing this problem!  I would've been freaking out trying to solve it myself otherwise.

[SecretAgentSuperDragon]

Ignore my second post. I was a little confused. You have to cut 3 seconds out. Just read my first post. There are no errors in that.

[Isaac S.]

Okay, great.  Thanks!

Thank you, SASD, for helping us laugh at Star Trek...again.

But seriously, thanks for finding the exact cut point. I noticed the problem with mine and was glad to find your post. When I was having problems with decrypting and started capturing, my DVD player would pause at odd times and I'd have to hunt down the exact points to cut out. It was a real pain. Thank you for saving me this time.

[SecretAgentSuperDragon]

Everybody gets one.

If RiffTrax would just tell you the upc number off the back of the dvd case you could look it up and be absolutely sure you have the right version.  You can look up upc numbers at amazon.com.
