I am having similar problems only with the latest version 1.10b1 (and 1a). I never had problems with previous versions, many DVD back-ups. Now Spiderman Region 1. Using new feature "use frame selection" AND CVD subs I get the delay. Taking OFF the CVD subs, voila, no delay. I see above that you are using neither subs or frame selection so probably no relation in our respective problems but..... Second back-up in a row "Y tu mama tambien". Using CVD subs and frame selection, there is a delay. I ripped with all three methods, internal, vstrip and smart-ripper. Nothing seemed to change the outcome. Now, I am currently going at it again...... Internal Routines --> frame selection --> permanent subtitles I will write back with a report. If it doesn't work, I am going to try again with 1.09b3. Thanks again DVD2SVCD :)
