Default Re: film print sound 2 frames early

Minister-

the first thing that comes to my mind is this:
Did you use HD monitoring during this mix? if so, what ti projection or LCD/Plasma based? Again if so, there's your 2 frames... all HD LCD/Plasma/projectors are out of sync 2 frames, which would make your audio 22 fr early.

as for the DMU, Yes the Dolby op is correct, there is a 2 Fr offset that occurs when you encode and then decode the signal. *IF* you coulddn't see it, id be concerned that something went wrong somewhere....but mostlikely not with the DMU. there could have been an offset programmed into your audio chain? Or even more likely, a discrepancy in the Viddeo used for playback and the actual footage of the Film. I'd check those areas first...
