very simple way to test for sync. get a 24p film playing, make sure sync to display is to video/drop dupe is usually what I would use and then bring up the screen at the top that shows the missing counter, if its not shooting up, it should be synced, if its just counting up, it ain't working.

I mentioned this before and I believe its a lot of the problem that if you look at that same display, it will show 24 instead of 23.976 or whatever which I believe is messing things up. same thing I had in reclock until I changed it from directdraw to d3d.

the way it should work is you pause the movie and missing starts running up. unpause and missing should stop moving. Same thing when you start a movie, there will probably be some misses as it starts but then it shouldn't be moving.

unfortunately, its not even an issue of pausing and unpausing until it stops missing and go on your way. Thats annoying, believe me I did it for months until I switched to mpc-hc. But the real problem is when I was watching a movie, I was an hour in and all of a sudden the sync is off when it hadn't been the rest of the time, so I pull up the display and now missing is running up. That was the final straw for me. I want to watch my movies, not have to worry about whether they randomly go in and out of sync.
