Audio not always in sync with video

[aab]

It seems like the audio in my burnt DVD is not always in sync with the video. I made the DVD from mpeg files and chose Dolby Digital for the audio format. What could be causing the sync issue? The original mpegs play fine.

Thanks

I have the same problem. I'm using MF4, and I burned a DVD with mpeg files I edited with Womble. The files played fine in preview mode. I burned 2 DVD's, and the audio was off in both discs.

I tried creating another disc Nero Vision Express 3, using the same video files, and the discs play fine. I'm not sure what happened, but I'm not having much luck with MF4. I may go back to 3 or just drop it all together. That was the first time I've ever burned useless discs using MovieFactory, and both were with version 4.

I searched this forum, and audio sync appears to be a common problem with MF, but nothing seemed to help me.

Try searching the forum here for "sync" and maybe you'll find a solution to help you. Good luck!

I was using NeroVision express until I gave up on it and found MF4 which is much easier to use. Nero had too many bugs, and too add to the problem it put bugs in the DVD menus it made making it only possible to move forawrd through the menu pages and not back.

Last night I generated some MPEG files by capturing from a VHS tape using the WinDVD Creator that came with the USB capture device (Plextor). The MPEGs play fine in, for example, Windows Media Player, with essentially no dropped frames*, and with audio and video properly in synch.

However, when I imported them into MF4, added menus, and then did a preview using the MF4 "remote control" stage, there are not only many dropped frames but audio and video are out of synch. Because of that I haven't burned a DVD yet - hoping to get some pointers from this forum. (I don't want to use my WinDVD Creator for burning as it does not recognise my dual layer burner)

Any suggestions will be appreciated.


* I tried WinDVD because capturing from MF4 leaves lots of dropped frames in spite of my defragging, stopping unnecessary programs running etc.

You don't mention your hardware configuration..i used to have this same issue and switched my sound card from a Audigy to a Turtle Beach and the sync issues went away

I'm using a terrible nvidia sound chip and motherboard, big mistake, I'll be getting rid of all the nvidia stuff and making sure never ever to buy an nvidia produict again, they have caused me nightmares and each driver update does nothing but add even more bugs.
