audio / video sync issues with MPEG1 VCD

[WhipHubley]

hi - I've got a VCD MPEG1 file (NTSC, 352x240, 29.97FPS) that plays fine.

however, when I try to author it to DVD using TMPGEnc DVD Author, the audio and video go slightly out of sync.

I decided to demux the audio and video, and noticed that the video file was 2 seconds longer than the audio file.

so I then decided to use TMPGEnc to chop off the last 2 seconds of the video file to make them the same length. I then muxed the two together.

however, the sync issue is still there, so I'd now like to try and shift the audio along the video slightly.

can anyone recommend any tools that would help me do this?

thanks very much.

can you believe it - I take the original file (which was always in sync) and this time try authoring it using sonic mydvd (ugh!) and it comes out perfect. no sync problems at all.

I'm quite gutted, actually. might contact pegasus about it. I was well pleased with TMPGEnc DVD Author up until then...:-(
