DVD-PAL burn on to DVD-R

[Daviegee]

I am using ATI AIW 128 Pro, Video Studio 5 with DVD Plug-in, 30Gb Free HDD space, 256 RAM, AMD Athlon 1500, Pioneer 103 DVD-R

I appear to be having a problem with the audio/video sync when I render and/or burn my captured video. I can capture VHS video straight into Video Studio as DVD - PAL format (MPEG-2, F.S. 720 x 576, Audio 48000, VDR 4000, and Audio Bit rate 384). When I play back the DVD- PAL captured video on the computer the audio/video are in complete sync. After that I use Video Studios export options to burn it on to a DVD-R. When I then play the newly created DVD it gradually starts to go out of sync.

This sync problem also happens when I render the captured audio clip (Is there a need to render?).

I basically want to capture VHS video, format it as DVD-PAL to burn on to a DVD-R to playback on a stand alone DVD Player. If anyone can provide any help or alternatives to what I'm doing it would be greatly appreciated as I'm pulling the hair out of my head wondering why the above is happening.

This happens frequently if the audio is being re-encoded to a lower bitrate by the authoring application. Check the settings for the audio actually being burned not captured. Set your capture settings to the same and try that. If your movie is longer than 60 minutes or thereabouts VS5 will re-encode both the video and audio to lower bitrates to fit it all on one blank.
