    hello. I made a DVD of a videotape i have. When playing it in a portable Philips DVD player, it looks good and all that. The only problem is, i can't fast forward to parts of the video without the sync between the video and audio messing up.
    Can someone suggest something so i can fix the original DVD files?

    thanks!

    Details ?

    Source video format ?
    Encoding and authoring software used ?
    Problem occurs in software players ? DVD players ? Consoles ?
    Was the source out of sync ?
    Does the DVD go out of sync if you use chapters to move through it ?

    hi! The source video format was originally a video tape. I converted it to DVD with a Pioneer DVD Recorder, and then put that DVD into my pc to edit parts out. I should have used a DVD-RW and used my DVD Recorder's editing features, but i didn't have one handy. Anyway, i then used AVIDemux and converted it to an MPEG2 file. I am not really that experienced with AVIDemux, like choosing the best file format to save it with. I then re-authored it with DVD Movie Factory 3. So far, i tried fast forwarding in the Philips portable DVD player, with sync issues. I will check other things with it and post another reply.

    thanks!

    DVD requires mpeg-2, which AVI Demux can output, so that would have been my choice if editing mpeg-2 source.

    I would also check the DVD on as many standalone players as possible, as a single player really doesn't tell you anything useful.
