I've only checked the "smoked pig cheese" scene and a few of the FWWM deleted scenes so far, but I can't detect any sync issues at all. Seems perfect. Dunno if this is a factor but I'm watching it on the BD-ROM drive on my computer. It is an LG model: "HL-DT-ST BDDVDRW CH12LS28 ATA Device" + I'm watching it through the "ArcSoft: Total Media Theater 6" program.

I re-watched the smoked pig cheese about 6 times under great scrutiny as I heard it is most noticeable there, but it seems fine to me. (I was watching quite closely - I even noticed at one point that someone bumps the camera making the shot wobble very momentarily hah.). The punch sound effects in the fist fight deleted scene seemed fine to me too (Some of the punch sound effects seemed a little hokey to me, but that has nothing to do with the syncing).

I'm still paranoid there might be problems somewhere I won't notice until months from now so if anyone has any other specific scenes/moments for me to check for sync issues feel free to let me know.

That's my opinion too. But there must be some strange differences in the audio track - in other case, all audio in the episode would be shifted, not only part of it.

In fact, I would have believed what Qbin says above about ALL audio being shifted and not just certain scenes. Well, believe it or not, when you rip the discs, all audio IS shifted, not just those problems areas. I was surprised by this as well. So shifting the audio for the entire Missing Pieces (for instance) by 200ms fixes the entire audio. Its weird, but that's what I found.

Checked this scene on my copy. Seems okay to me.

Out of curiosity I did the same thing. I encoded the file "00015.m2ts" on my copy of disc 3 (The first ~17 minutes of Episode 9) into an mp4 (I used the program "Handbrake" - mainly using the default settings because they seem okay). Maybe I'm crazy but the exported file seems fine, too.

I've uploaded it as an unlisted youtube video incase anyone else wants to check it. Hopefully youtube don't delete it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jYpTc0_crsw (Smoked cheese pig scene @ 14:13). Let me know if you think it seems off.

I'd really like to get this for Christmas, and finally watch it, but I won't want to waste my money and time again. Hell, I'd even consider buying another blu-ray player if I have to just to watch this without issues.
