DVD - MPEG2 PICtURE LOOKS GREAT - BUT AIFF SOUND OUT OF SYNC?
Have edited a 10 minute film (Shot on DV25) in Final Cut Pro 4.
My machine is few years old - 466MGhz - G4 with 1.5GB of ram.
The job includes several picture layers ( picture in picture) and captions -
It plays perfectly in FCP and exports fine - via fire wire to a capture deck - and the resulting MiniDV tape is good.
However - when I attempt to export this via "Compressor" version 1 ( integral with DVD studio pro) to make MPEG2 the voice sync slips out by at least 6 frames by the end of the film ( only 10 minutes)
Settings -
DVD PCM Audio -AIFF 48Khz,16bit stereo
MPEG-2 60min High Quality Encode 7Mbps,2-PassVBR,4:3.
I'm new to DVD - but have followed steps outlines in " Final Cut Pro 4" by Diana Weynand -( and spent ages reading help files-) faithfully . Also tried the gamut of possible settings
As job takes over 2.5 hours to compress- am tearing my hair out .
If anyone has any suggestions I would be very grateful.

Compressor and FCP has some /read LOT/ troubles with PAL material...But...You can correct out-of-sync in latest DVD Studio PRO...Import encoded .m2v and .aiff in DVDSP3, place both tracks on timeline, then select audio track /on the timeline, not in Assets win/...On the Clip Info panel you can correct time of audio start with "Clip Start Trim"...

I've found the best solution is to export the vision with Compressor, and export the audio via Quicktime. When you drop the two into the DVD Studio Pro timeline together, they will be in perfect sync. No need to trim and drag the audio into sync.
I tried the trim and drag technique previously, but found that, with my 20 min project, if I had audio and video in sync at minute 1, they would be out of sync at minute 19. It strikes me that Compressor just isn't much good with audio, at least in regard to PAL.
