Any advice on settings would be appreciated.
Please keep in mind that all I am doing is copying VHS tapes onto DVD or CD
I also made the change that Ken Berry suggested.
Thanks Ken, I found the file and made the change as you advised.
With all this done should I recapture the video and re-edit and so on?
In other words should I start the project over?
Thanks to everyone for all your help
Rick
P.S. If there is any other info that you need to help me please let me know, and were to find it.
Thanks again

I hope you were never in the military and had to use a rifle.

Everything you need to know is on this forum.
Simply search for what you are looking for in VS forum.

What capture card are you using?

AND going back to Thoff's first question....

Does the original file that you captured from the VHS tape exhibit the same problem?

After your done capturing the video, don't edit it, don't burn it, don't do anything to it. Close out VS8, find it on your drive and play it with MS Media player to see if the audio is out of sync. As it was pointed out to you previously this is important because you need to determine when the audio is going out of sync. If it's out of sync at this point 99.9% of the time you have a system issue.

If you are using the Instant DVD Xpress, make sure you use the CapWiz to make the captures. There's a version 3.5 on the ADS Tech support pages (do not use the version 3.6, or the 3.6 drivers -- it's still in beta).

Connect the DVD Xpress directly to a USB Port on your computer (and not a USB hub). Use USB 2.0 if possible.

The video properties you stated are for SVCD. Select one of the DVD radio buttons in CapWiz (6 mbps or something like that). This should capture a 720x480 mpeg-2 video with 48khz audio.

You could be getting A/V sync issues if your source video has "dropouts" or "gaps" (white snow) on the tape.

Some folks use a TimeBase Corrector (TBC) to resolve those types of issues, but they can be expensive. To test if that's a problem, try feeding a "live" signal into the DVD Xpress (like a TV broadcast). If everything stays in sync, then it's probably your source video...

It does work in the SE version.
