I am attempting my 1st DVD and seem to be having trouble with the sound. These are the steps that I did.

1. Captured the video & Audio - I decided to try to turn an old VHS tape into a DVD, I hooked up a VCR to my Digital 8 camcorder, Camcorder was hooked up to my laptop through a firewire port, I used Adobe Premiere to capture, Capture had no problem & watching this file played fine in Windows Media Player.

2. I pulled the capture file into Premiere, Used Procoder to export to a usable file for DVD-Lab, I selected Program File instead of Video & Audio to 2 seperate files, File is an M2P file.

3. I pulled this M2P file into DVD-Lab, Compiled the DVD, Viewed the compiled DVD with WinDVD, Sound was in sync at the start & out of sync by the end, At this time I viewed the M2P file with Windows Media Player and that sound was off, Seems the sound messed up during export from Premiere to a M2P file, I checked into this deeper and checked the Capture that was pulled into Premiere and it seems that the sound is also off in Premiere, Starts fine and ends all off, Both video & audio files have the exact same length when I check.

In DVD-Lab, Doing any kind of delay does not fix this problem because the sound is fine at the start and really off by the end. Only way to fix something like that is to stretch something.


So, what is going wrong here? What is making the sound off in premiere? Any ideas? AND remember, I am very, very new to all this. Please try not to talk over my head.

I also did have a problem with a captured HI8 video, capturing was done with a Hauppauge PVR250 with MPG2 HW encoding. This produced a MPG2 stream which was perfectly in sync but if it was demuxed video and audio were out of sync when it was reauthored into a DVD. This sounds a lot like your problem.
After trying a lot of proggies which didn't solve the sync problem I tried PVAstrumento to demux the MPG. This program keeps track of the relation between video and audio and adjusts the separate video and audio streams to keep the right sync. After demuxing, the video and audio didn't even have the same length but after authoring the streams with DVDlab, the movie was in perfect sync.

PVAstrumento can be found in the download section of Doom9.
