Is 'mpeg tools' to blame for my out of sync issues?

[Will Hay]

I use Virtualdub for capture but that's as much as I know about the program :(
I've captured some tv shows using the PicVideo Mjpeg codec and then ran them through TMPGEnc at dvd compliant mpeg2 3000kb/sec.
They all looked fine but when i burnt them the last episode (the sixth) is very slightly out on sync, and I wonder if it's because I used the 'mpeg tools' function in TMPGEnc to join them after I encoded (I did this as each of the six episodes were split in two - and if I'd have used Ulead Movie Factory to author I'd have got two chapter buttons per episode - I didn't want that).
By joining the mpegs will this perhaps be the cause of the sound and video being slightly out of sync, and if there's a quick way to simply join the avi's in virtualdub (before encoding) will this maybe solve my problem?
Thanks in advance,
Will

TMPGEnc tools *was* to blame for my sound/video sync issues.
I joined the first and second part of each episode only this time and created six mpegs rather than just one large one and there are now no sync issues.
Hope this helps anyone else with the same problem :)
