Merging/freezing Question

[aaron10]

I have quite a few VHS tapes that I want to transfer to DVD. I got a device that record the tapes directly to DVD. My notion was to use this o write a DVD+/-RW and then edit the content on the computer. (The DVD produced by the device plays perfectly on all my DVD players and my computer software players.)

So, here's what I tried:

(1) I edited commercials from the DVD using VOBblanker, merged the ensuing VOB files and created title structure using IFOEdit. However, the software players and stand alone players freeze at the join point or a few seconds beyond it.

(2) I tried cutting within Nero Recode, merging the cut VOB but the burned content freezes similarly.

(3) I tried using seamless join in DVD2One and have the same d*mn freezing.

I can create a disc with several title sets for each cut segment but it isn't as clean as I was hoping.

I was hoping to make the process as simple and painless as possible. I thought for sure each one of the methods I used (above) would produce compliant, playable results.

Thanks for the help....

Demux your merged project with PGCDemux and remux with muxman.

I will give that a try shortly and report the results and any further questions. Thanks!

The demuxed/remuxed output plays well in both software players and standalone DVD players. The only issue I see is the video and audio seem to get progressively out of sync along the time continuum. Towards the end of the movie they are off by about 1/2 second. When I look at the merged source, before demux/remux, the audio and video are in perfect sync.

Is there anything I can do to address this issue because I would like to back up quite a few tapes and would like to overcome this wrinkle if at all possible?

Many thanks for the assist...
