You would think that the clips in the timeline in Video Studio 10 would be exactly what you will wind up with in the final DVD compliation.

Well, It may not be so. At least in my case it isn't.

It appears that VS is adding some extra scenes onto the end of the last clip in the timeline but you do not become aware of this until after the DVD has been compiled.

Here are some examples of different projects that I have been working on.

Project 1 contains 20 clips in the timeline. The last clip is correct. It has the correct ending to it and completes the movie in a normal fashion.

I compile the 20 clips and have VS write out a DVD disc.

After it completes the 'burning' process I load that finished movie into a DVD player and when the movie comes to the end there is about 5 to 10 seconds of the begining of the movie added onto the end of the movie.

In another project the end results were that a section of the movie (somewhere from the middle of the movie) was added onto the end of the finished movie after it was burned onto a DVD disc.

This problem does not seem to be isolated to just one movie (or project) but occurs in all movies but with slightly different results.

In all cases I have examined the last clip to make sure that it was the complete and correct clip without any garbage on the end.

During playback of the projects, before they are burned, there is no evidence of anything wrong. The movies play perfectly from the first clip to the last clip.

Only after they have been burned to either a DVD disc or they have been written to a DVD folder on the hard drive the end results always have some portion of the movie, wheather it be the begining or somewhere out of the middle, added to the end of the movie.
