Are people really having that much difficulty syncing the movies to the mp3's? We watch the movie like normal and play the mp3's from one of our laptops connected to speakers sitting on the coffee table. It really gives the feeling that the guys are sitting right there.

There's also the Rifftrax player & RiffSync software you can use...

Unless you're on Linux... in which case, you are probably tech-savvy enough to ENJOY mixing down movies with alternate audio.

Yeah we still do the manual sync around here. The only downside is you have to commit to those couple hours because pausing is a pain.

I know, rite? This has been an eye opening thread.

It will be a bit of a challenge for me once they actually target a current flick but I think I will manage 8)

Rifftrax would have been much harder to keep in sync 200 years ago.  If the actors on staging doing the play being riffed wandered from the script or jacked up a line, Mike, Bill, and Kevin (sitting in the front row, of course) would have had to wait for them to get back on track before continuing their riff.

The writing process would be a bit harder as well.  I'd think they would have needed their own little balcony on the side of the theater.  For all their quills, ink wells, and writing desks...

and the cost of all that material? a single riff would set the customer back seventeen guineas, twelve shillings, threepence, and a half-farthing.

At the Carolina Theater in Durham, NC they have Retro Fantasma. I went to see Jaws with the Rifftrax on my phone. I started the mp3 too late and there was no way to fix the problem without being "that guy" who keeps messing with his phone during a movie.

I did syncing exactly once. I'll never do it again.

The only time I ever tried syncing was when I was testing the RiffTrax for the Red Dawn collector's edition that I made for the site.

I did too, for Casino Royale. Funny story behind that too. The wife (currently ex) had agreed, grudgingly, to watch Casino Royale (unriffed) with me. The night we were supposed to watch it we were at her parents for a little while and I asked her, to confirm, that we would indeed by watching Casino Royale. She blew up at me and refused because I had the gall to "ask too many times." What a peach, huh? So when we got home I went into my computer room and bought the riff on a lark and watched it synced.
I survived the San Diego Comic Con 2010 Hall H stabbing.
