UVS10+ video and audio drift out of sync on DVD

[pedro26]

Hi,

I was following the old instructions on the recommended way of working with UVS10+ re DVD creation, i.e. do the work on the project save as a video file then come back into UVS10+ with a new project with nothing in the timeline (old computer Win XP, for burning I have a video editing profile as per Steve's suggestion) when ready to go into burn phase. In burn phase did the title, added transitions bewteen the 10 clips, let UVS10+ auto add chapters between clips.

Kept all burn phase properties the same as the original, with smart render (no re-render of compatible MPEG2).

Burnt it on to a DL disc, all seemed hunky dory (but took ages to do the title) until came to play it, and then I found that the sound had gone progressively out of sync on the DVD.

The video files are kept on an external hard drive connected via USB. To be honest the old XP computer does run very slow now, as they all do with time as leeches attach themselves and drain speed and resources.

My question is what are the usual suspects for sync problems ?

Data transfer from external hard drive ?
Project settings in burn phase different from edit phase ?

Would it be better to create an iso on the internal C-Drive, then burn from the iso ?

NB whatever USB port I attach devices to front/rear etc. I have always got the message this device can run faster, searched the net tried all the tips to no avail.

However this did not prevent me from creating single layer DVDs without sync problems in the past using this set-up/way of working, but PC is way slower now.

I guess the PC's effective speed might be in the frame ?

ps How far back will the 'rot' go ?

Should I go as far back as putting the converted clips into the time line in the edit phase (totally new project), or will the VSP project/video files be ok, i.e. problem at data transfer/burn stage.

pps I'm thinking about re-doing the XP user profile to ensure that later installs have not cluttered all the profiles on the machine, i.e. including the video editing profile.

Hi

If you are using a compliant Mpeg2 file then there should be no conversion of the files prior to burning.
When you finally hit the burn button the process should start with convert Menu, if it starts with convert Title then the main video, the mpeg2 files are being rendered/converted.
What do you mean by “Burnt it on to a DL disc, all seemed hunky dory (but took ages to do the title)”

OK
Burn an ISO file first.
Use VLC Player to play the iso.
If ok use the VLC/DVD Disc image recorder to burn the Iso to disc.

USB front port, on my pc it appears to be USB 1 and yes I get a similar message, I generally connect to MB USB terminals that are USB 2 with no problems.

Where do your original video files come from? Have they been converted?
