dropped frames after render?

I have 2 project files that I want to combine into 1 single video, so I rendered one project to create an MPEG-2 video file. I imported the video file into the other project file and used a crossfade between the two. My problem lies in the rendered video file. I watched it, and noticed a jump in the action, it appears as if I dropped about 8-10 frames, this also causes the audio to go out of synch for obvious reasons. The original video file was fine without these "jumps" and if I burn the video directly to a DVD these jumps also are not present, so the problem occurs when importing a previously rendered video into the timeline. Here are some of the specs that I can remember off the top of my head (not at computer with VS) captured video MPEG-2, 8999kbps, NTSC, total video is 2 mins, using VS7 SE DVD, captured from ADS Tech DVD Xpress. If you need any more specs to help just tell me where to find it and I'll get it. any advice, or solutions?

Are you being careful to match the file specs and using Smart Render?

In UVS8, you can set a parameter to have it prompt you about matching specs when you import a file into the timeline.

When you output the video to a file
UNSELECT "SmartRender" and see if that corrects the merging.

Thanks, ill try that, and I dont know what you mean by matching specs, I havent seen any options about that.

By matching file specs I mean that the properties of the MPEG-2 file you are creating with your edit should match those of the MPEG-2 file you are using as the input to your edit.

e.g. - if you captured at 4500 kbps VBR, Field Order B, MPEG Audio Layer 2, etc., use these same properties for your output file.

ok, now i understand, about 98% of it is an mpeg-2, and the other 2% is an .avi. but another project I did was all mpeg 2 and it had the same problem the vbr is the same throughout.
