Converting From AVI to SVCD or DVD Problem

[thump1]

Okay, I have decided to make my home movies into DVD. I have a Sony TRV530 Digital camcorder. I am using a 1394 firwire card made by Pinnacle. My problem is after I have captured my movie using Studio 7 by Pinnacle, I can then convert it to DVD using TMPGEnc v2.02's template or Studio 7 or Roxio, the converted video is super fast as if it is being fast forwarded. The video part looks great but it is running way to fast. In it's pure AVI captured format via firewire and before converting, the picture looks great. I just have a huge 14 gig AVI file for an hour long video. The same happens when I try to convert it to SVCD also. When I do them VCD, the video looks okay but I want to convert to SVCD and better yet DVD. My parent's DVD player doesn't play VCD or SVCD but mine does so I need to convert to DVD. I have used Roxio to convert and burn but the video is still to fast when trying to do DVD or SVCD. What am I doing wrong? I have a standard SCSI burner made by Yamaha 16x20x40 external. Any help would be appreciated.

What's the framerate of your source? And wha't the framerate for the template you're using?

If you mean the Sony camcorder I don't exactly know. I capture it with the DV camcorder default which shows 720x480 29.97 fps NTSC. The converted file is the same using the provided NTSC DVD template that comes with TMPGEnc 2.02. I am knida new at the camcorder firwire stuff. I had been doing all my VHS with a Pinnacle DC10+ and had no problems but I only did it in VCD. Now I need to do it in DVD even if I only get a few minutes on a regular CD.
