Are you authoring this mpeg-1 file to DVD directly, or are you reencoding it to mpeg-2?

Hi major,
I'm having the same problem with the audio going out of sync once I've converted and author an avi to dvd. I had this happen with avi's that already have ac3 audio encoded into it. When I tried to drag the video and audio into Sizzle to author it, I get a warning saying the ac3 audio is not 48khz. Any clues?

Did you try to directly use the "Author" tool on your mpg file, without converting it?

Hi Major

Yes i am trying to convert the mpeg 1 directly to a DVD movie
Its just doing my head in.

Just thought you like to know i drag the movie in the "summary" page then select "target voloume" then "dvd ffmeg" then press "encode"

Try encoding with mp2 audio 224kbps 48000Hz instead of ac3 audio 448kbps (set that in the Audio tab just before pressing the encode button).

Thanks Major i'll try that i'll let you know how i get on

I have tried encoding the movie file that you suggested into MP2 it works great thanks Major.
P.S. just one thing could you still encode into AC3 sound and leave the audio at 224kbps 48000Hz?

Yes, if you use stereo instead of 5:1.
