Allright, the test transcode of Pulp Fiction with -M2 was slighty better then the without -M ones...in the end part, a/v desync was around 500-1000 ms.
I had looked trough the archives a bit already but couldnt find anything related to the desyncs then...or so I thought. I was looking some more and found the announcement for the transcode 1.0.4-RC5 release, which has this little bugfix in it: - fixes in xvid export module; encoder flush was implemented at time of closing module, and that is supposed to fix issue #000017 (http://tcfoundry.hostme.it/mantis/view.php?id=17). Please test and report problems or improvements :) I've changed dvdrip/transcode sources to ~x86 (gentoo unstable) and am recompiling them right now. When they're done, I'm going to test again and I'll let you people know if there was any improvement. By the way, I tried to transcode Children of the Korn 4 today, too. This title has some *weird* a/v sync issues. The first 10 minutes, sync is ok, then theres five minutes of heavy desync and then it's synced again...plain weirdness all over. I'm praying it was issue #000017 all along, altough it wouldn't explain why the other codecs also desynced.
