AS2 disk 2 audio sync issues?
Posted by LionelHutz 11 years, 2 months ago to Movies
Does anyone else in here with the d'Anconia copper edition of the movie notice AV sync issues with David Kelley? I'm seeing that the movie clips he cuts to are in sync, but when it comes back to him speaking, things are a little off.
1. Commentary #1 with David Kelley speaking. The sync seems immediately off. Then cut to the 'what is the root of money' scene and sync seems fine. Come back to David Kelley and it's obviously off again - expecially when the video does a closeup and he's speaking "crony capitalists". It is most obvious that the sync is off during his closeups.
2. Commentary #2 - Mr Kelley opens and sync seems tighter than Commentary #1, but not perfect. Cut to the business lunch scene in the movie and sync is perfect. Come back to David Kelley and during the closeups I get the same "a bit off" feeling as the open. Sync is tighter than Commentary #1, but it's just not exactly "on". As we go from clips to commentary, the pattern holds. Clips good, commentary a bit off.
3. Commentary #3 - Everything seems spot on in the commentary at the start. But by the time we arrive at the commentary about "from each according to his ability", things seem to be going off the rails again.
I'm playing the disk on an LG BD-390 unit. I've only got a few BluRays, but it's never shown this AV sync issue on any media before, including the AS2 feature disk.
Also, something else I notice now that i have watched disk 2 in its entirety: the audio levels among the various parts of disk2 are not equalized. The three commentaries are at the same level, but as we move to interviews, it is much louder. At "Behind the scenes", it drops back down. At "Reason TV", it goes back up.
The volume level issue is present in both players, but isn't nearly as annoying.
Thanks for looking into it.
