Handrake does a good job when converting video or rip non-protected DVD disc, however, one of the annoying issue that people often encounter is that Handbrake output video and audio is out of sync just as the condition in the below parts:

"I'm using AnyDVD and Handbrake to rip my DVDs. I've been playing around with one DVD in which the resulting MP4 has the audio out of sync by around 500ms for Main or High profiles. From testing I've found the audio is synced if the output file is MKV, or Baseline profile is used. I've muxing the audio separately and reboxing the MKV to MP4 with no success. I am using the constant frame rate setting also. I was wondering if anyone could help me out. Thanks."
