If TMPGEnc DVD Author is creating VOB's that lose audio sync

[MrMungus]

what would be the most-likely reason? The MPEG-2 files I capped have perfect sync. The VOB's, played on WMP or burned and played on a standalone DVD player, do not.

I was suspecting it had something to do with my slow computer speed (P3 750) but one confounding factor is that it appears that the longer the original MPEG-2 clip, the more likely sync is to be lost (whereas if I use shorter individual clips, sync is not lost).

Ideas?

I'm actually having the exact same problem. The audio is fine at the beginning, but looses sync about half way through.

I had this happen on the last disc I tried to author. It had 4 tracks, 3 were 18 minutes and the last was 40 and all 4 lose sync.

Hopefully someone else has experienced this and can give a solution.

Thanks in advance.

I'm going to try a lower audio bitrate tonight. I was just reading-up on VHS quality and video capture bitrate and I might try a lower video capture bitrate, too (e.g., 4000 - 6000 VBR instead of 6000 - 8000 VBR which is what I was doing).

I'll post about the results.
