[HELP] Encoding question
#1
Hello,

I'm having trouble encoding a source and was hoping for some direction. The issue is the audio starts in sync, goes noticeably out of sync by the middle of video, then comes back into sync again by the end, which I believe may be caused by the source being VFR and having issues with the timecodes. This happens in 1 or 2 episodes in every season of the TV show which I've personally ripped from dvd, and the rest of the episodes are perfectly fine.

I've enabled scan for 'stretched streams' and also tried 'prefer original framerate' but not had any luck.

This is the media info for one of the 'issue' episodes:
