I am using VideoStudio 11 and have a JVC Harddrive Camcorder (MOV). When I create disc of my home movies the audio is not insync with the video. How do I correct this?

Plenty of threads on this subject...please do a search.

It would also help if you told us what you were doing and what files you are using. (see first threed on this forum)

Thanks

The bottom line is that all of the highly compressed formats can be trouble! This includes MOV, WMV, DivX, Xvid, MPEG-4, etc. (Even MPEG-2 can sometimes be trouble.)

These file formats are fine if you want to watch them on your computer. But, when you try to edit or convert them, it can be difficult. When commercial DVDs are made, all of the editing is done in an uncompressed format (often in film format), and they are compressed once to MPEG-2 after editing. The best solution for home movies to to use a MiniDV camcorder and edit in DV format. DV is "lightly" compressed to 13GB per hour.

You might try looking for a special-purpose MOV editor. You can try using SUPER (FREE!!!) to convert your files to DVD-compatable MPEG-2. You can look at one of the Video Studio Project-Templates to find the settings (resolution, framerate, bitrate, etc) for a DVD compatible MPEG-2 file.

You could also try SVCD 2 MPG (~ $40 USD) which they claim will convert almost anything to DVD.
