Title: Sync line times ---What happened?
Post by: MrTorso on June 01, 2007, 07:32:39 PM
The only line that was even close was the last one. The DVD times were sometimes off by 8 seconds. I guess I got spoiled by the last three that had perfect times!

Everything comes from the counter on my computers DVD player, which can vary every time you play the DVD.  The times in the readme are intended only as a guide.  YMMV.  LOLZ.   :-*

EDIT:  That said, the timing for the synch lines in the rifftrax should be perfect all the time.  the explanation for how video conforms to a timecode but audio does not and how this affects everything is far too complicated to get into.

I was synced up pretty much perfectly for this one... but then all my rifftrax are usually off just a little bit anyways. I always like the Rifftrax to be slightly behind the dvd time. That's much more accurate than Cube or Fingal time, believe it or not.

Yeah I was just spoiled because the last three were dead on for all the sync times and that never happened before. I thought maybe you guys were using a new and improved method of getting the movie time codes. No worries here.
