audio out of sync

[iceberg66]

Forgive me from the start of this is the wrong place for this....

Only lately have I need getting this problem....when I edit my home movie in windvd creator the audio is out of sync. It looks and sounds ok in the program but when i burn and put it in the dvd player its off. I tried a variouty of media and different dvd players with the same result. I got rid of my convertx and purchased a canopus but same results....My guess is the windvd program.... If I leave the crap at the beginning of the video everything seems to fall into place. Proshow gold i get the same results.......

thanks

That sounds like a editing problem. And you might try playing back the VIDEO_TS folder before burning to see if it's still in sync. VLC can do that. Usually sync problems are caused during encoding or editing. Authoring and burning shouldn't have any effect.

What format do you edit in? Canopus with DV output? You might try VirtualDub Mod, in that case, for editing. VDM can output DV if you add a DV codec. I use the Panasonic DV codec. If you are just using cuts, you can save out as a direct stream copy with no re-encoding needed. Then take the edited output and encode that to MPEG format. I usually process the audio separately after editing. I convert the audio to AC3 with ffmpeggui and add that in when I author to the DVD format.
