Although I'm not really a newbie at video conversion, I've never really solved my many audio sync problems.

My ideal TV to SVCD capture would go like this:
Capture to MPEG-1 using ATI Tv-Wonder
Edit Video in MGI Videowave, export to either MPEG-2 or AVI (whichever behaves)
Convert to MPEG-2 for SVCD with TMPGenc
Burn with either nero or vcdeasy

Now my audio is fine after my capture, and my original MPEG-1 is beautiful. the problems begins after i export from editing. in either AVI or MPEG-2, i may or may not get out of sync audio. furthermore, i may play the exported video and be pleased with the audio, but five minutes later play it and find it out of sync. this leads me to believe its something with my CPU speed, but it shouldn't since I'm running PIII 1Ghz 256mb ram.

Basically I'm not sure what all this is. My videos are usually 45 minutes long, and if they do go out of sync, it will usually hit at one point somewhere in the video and remain up to 1 second out of sync for the rest of the film.

I suppose what I'd like to know is this:
- Is there a good editting/clipping program I can use that exports reliable in-sync audio?
- Will something like TMPGEnc help me correct out of sync audio (by as much as a second) caused by the export from editting program?
- What format should I be using to go from editting to TMPG?

Any thoughts on this situation would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Dan
