Well I have ripped billions of Pal DVD's but I tried to Rip a NTSC DVD and ripped it with smart ripper. Afterwards I tried to play the VOB's and IFO's in DVDX and it was clear picture but the sound kept getting little snippits of sound missing every 5 secs so i don't know whats going on. Every time I play a Pal rip in DVDX it never does that. Any Answers thankyou.

Maybe try playing it in a Real software DVD Player....

Hi Rich

I have the same trouble with DVDX, I have not tried PAL as my home enternainment equipment is all NTSC. I would prefer DVDX over the other apps i have tried for the simplicity and the excellent picture quality, even the sound is better except for the problem with synchronising, I have found that if I dont enable the sync feature in the output menu that i dont get the stuttering but within 15 minutes the sound is grossly out of sync, if i do enable sync'ing the sound stays synchronised but stutters, I hope the next stable release of DVDX fixes that issue, or that i could find a good guide on a work around, I have tried practically every imaginable combination of choices in the output menu to fix this and still not found anything that works, i did find out however that picture quality could be greatly increased by breaking the movie down into chapters and increasing the amount of ram used from 10mb(defualt) to 256mb.
Goodluck, I'm going to keep trying to find the fix, as I am not overly impressed with TMPGEnc picture quality and sound degredation.
