I've had success with the audio synch problem using Video Redo (www.VideoReDo.com) (21 day free trial). This is a problem I've seen posters in several forums struggling with, so I think it's worth a shout.

My synch problems developed after I got an Hauppauge pvr-250 to do my mpg conversion on the fly. Before then, using an Hauppauge WinTV for avi capturing and then converting to mpg via VirtualDub/Tmpgenc, I had no problems producing synched output to DVD using DvdLab.

The pvr-250 captures will play ok in Windows Media Player, but I think this is because, as others have noted, WMP compensates. However, trimming the file with Womble produces the synch problem, even in WMP. If I don't trim and go directly to DvdLab for de/remux, I get the progressive synch problem. Trimming the original pvr-250 cap with Video Redo results in Redo cutting out a number of unsynched frames. The resulting file also plays well in WMP but, more importantly, Dvd Lab output is good.

I've never had any a/v sync problems with the card. Do you use MPEG-2 program stream or DVD stream as the output when capturing? Many people have had problems with the DVD stream setting.

I've been using Program. Its output is better than DVD, but not good enough.

I should add that I'm referring to caps from VHS, NTSC.
