DVDlab screws up audio/video sync?! Help!

[XxAndyxX]

I compiled 54minutes of video footage into a mpeg2 file. When I play the mpeg file on my computer the audio/video alignment was perfect but after I convert it to DVD format using DVDlab the audio and video aren't in sync with eachother for the last half of the movie. (tested on my hard drive and on a DVD player)

Any advice would be great. I did some research and found a lot of good comments about DVDlab so I hope this is something easily fixed.

-Thanks

What version of DVD Lab are you using ? Some of the Pro betas had this problem (amongst other things)

Are you working with elementary streams ? (i.e. audio and video seperate) or a combined mpeg ?

If it is a combined mpeg, DVD Lab will have prompted you with an option to demux. If so, so you demux, or choose not to. The recommendation, when prompted by this dialogue, it to demux.

Otherwise, check out the mediachance forums here http://www.mmbforums.com/ to see if there is an answer.

You can try using the Alternative muxer during the compilation stage instead of the main one. The one time that I had A/V sync issues with DVD Lab (source files were fine, however the output from DVD Lab had A/V sync issues) I tried the alternative muxer and it solved the problem. It's worth a shot.

Thanks for the replies!

I have be demuxing and muxing with DVDlab (I don't have the pro version just the trial).

I'm going to try that idea of using a different muxing program, can anyone tell me a favorite/trusted one that seems to work pretty well?

Whereever possible I output to elementary streams, so demuxing is a rarity for me (I've only done it for a few SVCD conversions). If you intend to keep using DVD Lab, I'd strongly suggest you do the same.

I'm kinda confused... Okay, I use Pinnacle to do the video editing so are you saying not to even save it as a mpeg2 file and just save it as audio and then save the video seperately?
