I noticed the message on the first tab of Gordian Knot that mentions not to use SmartRipper 2.41 because you can get audio synch problems. I have been using SmartRipper 2.41 for a few rips and so far, they have been fine. I went to rip/encode The Living Daylights and after encoding, the audio is out of synch. The audio has not undergone audio expansion, just out of synch; however, due to this, the entire audio file is not present along with the video stream. I knew of this problem, so I am using SmartRipper 2.40.... QUESTION: What is the problem with SmartRipper v2.41 AND will using SmartRipper v2.40 fix the audio synch problem? I am doing exactly the same thing as with my other rips but I get an audio synch problem. thanks, Chip
