Hello.
Previously, I've used Medio Studio Pro 6 with Windows XP. I cannot use that any more because it has developed the typical audio / video syncronization problems.
So, I decided to give Media Studio Pro 8 a try. Wouldn't you know it? Same exact problem when rendering a completed file. I was under the impression that the problem was corrected under the newer versions.
Or is it something I am doing wrong? Please help.

MSP8 audio video sync problems
Some video formats, such as DV type 1, have the audio locked to the video. Some others, such as many of the highly compressed formats (or DV type 2) do not, especially with long GOPs. The latter rely purely on the hope that the the video stream and the audio stream play at exactly their correct rates for synch. If you are using a format that allows slippage, then my advice is to capture and edit in short sequences of, say, 5 minutes max. Then render the completed project initially to a non-slipping format, from which you can then convert to the final format.
As George says, we shall be able to help you more if you tell us what you are doing and the format(s) you use.

Thank you for your replies.
The original video was captured in MSP6 as a DV1 AVI, and the entire project file was created in MSP6 and opened up in MSP8.
The original video plays fine, with no problems with the audio and video syncronization. It only happens after creating the video.
Again, this is MSP 8- not 6.
The finished video is about 1 hour long, and as one might expect the audio starts out fine, but as the finished video progresses the audio starts lagging. Towards the end of the video, it starts looking like a badly dubbed Bruce Lee movie. 8^)
There isn't a lot of editing involved, either. Primarily an intro added to teh front and a couple cuts along the way.
Is there any other settings I should be looking at?
I will verify the video setting later tonight when I get home.

May be wrong, but I thought MSP6 did not support DV. Didn't that start with 7???

Actually, MSP 6 was the 1st version that supported DV.
Now, after a week of computer problems (spyware inundation, dying / dead hard drive) I have came back to shed some light on what has been happening.
I've had MSP 6- but the Win XP patch doesn't work any more.
So, I decide to dl the MSP 8 trial- you know, try before you buy.
However, it's behaving the same was as 6 did: the farther into the final rendered video, the less the audio and video are synced.
The original video was captured in 6 as a DV Type 1 AVI. The project file was also created in 6.
Now I DL'd 8 and opened the project file- which was created in 6- and rendered the movie as a DV Type 1 AVI.
I also tried as an MPEG. Same problem.
Now, I considered the possibility that maybe the problem was because I still has MSP 6 installed. So, I un-installed it.
Same issue.
I got myself some nasty spyware (Zedo- I'm gonna sue you) and had to give up and reformat my HD.
(btw- I keep back-ups of my big files on another HD)
So I now begin with a fresh install with a freshly installed MSP 8.
Same problem persists.
The videos come out looking like a Bruce Lee film.
I run an AMD Duron @ 995 MHz abd 640 MB Ram. Th eHD I am using currently is a Maxtor 38 Gig with no partition.
Only recently have I installed Win XP Service Pak 2, and admittedly, I have not tried again. I guess I should try again to be fair.
What other info can I supply?

Try capturing afresh in MSP8, using DV type 1, rather than using an old file that may be corrupt.
However, your horsepower is a little on the weak side for MSP8. It may be difficult to work with it. Be sure there are no dropped frames when capturing.

Is the synch problem on the output file, or just during preview? I used to get a synch problem during preview only, and it was caused by a problem at clip edges: A short film with many edits would get out of synch quickly, whereas a single, long clip would play to the end in synch.
The rendered video was fine, though.
