Sure it's a bit of a hack but if you can loose those frames without anyone noticing _and_ it fixes the problem then why faff around trying other fixes? I have done this in the past but only once (I think).

I've never been able to find the cause; I don't use DVD::Rip but I do use transcode and avidemux and *both* have presented this problem. It may be that I am choosing some wrong settings but for the life of me I can't find what they are. My standard way of fixing the problem is to use mplayer with the + and - keys to find out what the offset is as already mentioned, separate video and sound using tcextract and the put them back together with mplex using the offset value found earlier. Luckily the offset is always fixed throughout the video so this method works well for me and usually only takes a minute or so to do. -- Geoff
