Just a couple of small observations which may or may not be relevant.
1. Have you run a disk defragmenter before 'capturing' your video.
2. Your hard drive rpm is shown as 5400 rpm which is at the lower end of a hard drive spin speed. RPM values range from about 5,400RPM to 12,000RPM and above.
Audio and video out of sync on DVD

Apart from only having a 5400rpm hard drive, everything else on my system is pretty much optimized for video capture. I haven't been able to determine if there were dropped frames during capture of the DV to an AVI file since I did this in Windows Movie Maker which doesn't report dropped frame statistics. In the future I'll probably use VS10+ to capture video instead.
So far, the only procedure which allows me to produce DVDs with video and audio in sync is as follows:
1. Encode AVI file as MPEG-2 using an external tool - e.g. Nero Vision.
2. Create new VS10+ project and add the MPEG-2 created in step (1) to the timeline.
3. Add titles etc. to timeline.
4. Create MPEG-2 video file using "Share" in VS10+.
5. Create another (empty) VS10+ project for authoring and go to "Create disc" under "Share" with nothing on the timeline.
6. Add the MPEG-2 video file created in step (4).
7. Add chapters and menus etc.
8. Create ISO image from the last page of the "Create disc" wizard.
9. Burn the ISO image, e.g. using Nero Burning ROM.
This rather torturous sequence of steps seems to get the job done more or less, at the expense of sitting around for more hours than seems reasonable. I also don't like the fact that the editing done in step (3) must be carried out using the inferior-quality MPEG and not the original AVI file.
The software engineer side of me suggests that the MPEG encoder component of VS10+ is fundamentally broken.
Does anybody know if it's possible to tell VS10+ to use a different MPEG encoder instead of the standard Ulead one so I can do all of the steps listed above in a single program?

Hi Richard
I cannot see why you have to first encode to mpeg2.
There should be no reason why you cannot edit using the DV-Avi files
Then Share Create Video File – Dvd-format (as an option disable smart render)
Which poses the question in your 4th step do you use DVD as the template or Mpeg2?
OK
After creating the iso I would use the Ulead Disc Image Recorder to burn the disc.
A warning about OOS, as I see it.
Although the OOS was first seen when viewing on the tv, the problem may be present during the earlier files, even from the capture stage.
A corrupt capture file may not show the OOS within the edit timeline.. The problem only being apparent after the Audio/Video multiplexing phase of the burner module.
I would recommend that you try a capture using Video Studio, watch for dropped frames.
Then use the recommended procedure to complete your dvd.
OOS is a very difficult subject, to many variables, there will be a reason.
All the Best Trevor
