when i burn a dvd the sound is off

[tjshadyluvr]

ok here it is i get a avi file the sound is fine. then i convert it to mpeg with mainconcept mpeg encoder. and the sound is still fine. then i used tmpgenc dvd author and then burn with nero. well when i put it in the dvd player it is video first then like 6 secs later the sound comes in. what can i do to get it to be in sync. i don't understand it should be the mpegs are fine. but when i burn its not. please help me.

Rip the audio and encode it seperately with a delay. Encode the video by itself. Just because it plays fine on your (400mhz) PC doesn't mean it's going to play the same on a set top player. Experiment with some smaller clips to figure out how much of a delay you need.

This is assuming you created the AVI file yourself capturing to your PC and aren't just trying to convert some knackered Divx rip you downloaded somewhere to DVD. If that's the case, all bets are off. Try scanning it in VDub for bad frames maybe. Chances are it's just a FUBAR'd aborted mess some slacker put together.

Does it have a delay if you play the disk on your PC?

Have you tried playing it after you author but before you burn it?

well i actually download them and they are like 200 mb per half. also i fit like 4 movies on one dvd. so i take the tmpgenc dvd author and i add each half to one track and then add the other movie to another track and so on then i make a menu which lets me pick which movie i want to play. well anyways i have a 3.2 ghz computer so it is fast. no i haven't tried playing the dvd here in my computer just tried on a standalone dvd player in my sisters room. which the menu and everything works great. its just that the movies are off sync. so i just checked out the mpeg files i made from mainconcept and they sounded fine. so i extracted the sound from the mpg with tmpgenc simple demux or somthing like that and hopefully this will work. is there a way i can test out and watch the encoded video before i burn it to a dvd? what player can i use? Thanks for you all's input.
