Stuttering audio in MF6

[Sorcercer]

Hi

I am trialling MF6 and everything is OK except the following annoying error.
When I play back the finished disk or the VOB files saved to my HDD, the audio stutters throughout. The original AVI ( DIVX ) file is OK as is the video when I convert it to VOB using WIN AVI, it's just when it has been put through MF6.
I have tried 3 or 4 different video files, all with the same result.
Also tried using different MF6 settings, again the audio stutters

I'm using Vista Ultimate, AMD 64 Athlone X2 1.8Ghtz, 2Meg ram, 160 GB HDD.

Any ideas or help would be appreciated, other than the audio problem I like using MF6 and if I can overcome the audio problem I would consider buying MF6

The original AVI ( DIVX ) file is OK...

DivX

I convert it to VOB using WIN AVI...

I assume that you were unable to import the original AVI/DivX file into Movie Factory? You might try a different conversion program, or try converting to a different format. If WinAVI can make an AVI/DV file, Movie Factory can make a DVD from that... DV (less-compressed at 13GB per hour) is the most trouble-free format. Or, maybe you can use WinAVI to make the DVD, instead of Movie Factory.

SUPER is a "universal" A/V converter, and SVCD 2 DVDMPG can convert almost any format to DVD-compatible MPEG-2. Both are both FREE!!! Or, SVCD 2 DVD (~$40 USD) claims it can convert almost any format to DVD.

... all of these highly-compressed formats tend cause lots of trouble when you try to edit or convert them. This includes DivX, Xvid, WMV, MOV, MPEG-4, etc. Even MPEG-2 (the DVD format) can sometimes be "difficult" to edit. Some people are able to edit their DivX files.... It seems to be "hit-or-miss". It may depend on what encoder was used or on the settings used... I don't know...

...You should not have any trouble converting editing an AVI/DV file (DV is less-compresed at 13Gb per hour) and converting it to one of these formats as the last step. This is how these formats are designed to be used. ...But, I'm not excusing Video Studio's flaky handling of these formats.

Thanks for the ideas, but I found some conversion settings in WinAvi that MF6 likes and they "cured" the stuttering audio. And as it happens the VOB files that WinAvi created also meant that MF6 didn't need to reconvert them, therefore the overall file was smaller so more video per disk but it took alot less time from start of a project to a finished disk.
