I am trying to take a Digital Camcorder and produce a Lip Sync DVD for the parent of our kids. I have no problem getting the vdeio into Movie Maker and producing the film with chapter points and intro screens for each act. I then open the produced movie in MY DVD Deluxe Version 5.2 Its a pain, but I then resestablsih the chapter points and use their feature to crete a menu of the acts

The problem is that the resulting video is too large to burn as it is 1 hr and 30 mins. The material has 600 MB of extra vidieo. So I save the project as a DVD file on my hard drive. I then open the file with DVD Shrink 3.1 and create the DVD to fit on a standard 4.7 GB disk. This worked great for the first show. Everytine I do this for the second show, the audio trails the videio by a couple of seconds. What is the best way to optimize MM video to burn on a DVD if its a little too big? What could I be doing wrong

I have 50 parents who want their DVD and school is coming to an end. Help!

Hello there,

Have you considered simply copying the first dvd and use that to create all
the other dvd's

Hi there,

My workaround for a similar problem (using ShowBiz v2)
was to change the "DVD Quality" setting from "7
Mbits/sec" to "5 Mbits/sec" (the choices were 3/4/5/6/7)
and it seemed to come out OK -- so maybe check your "MY
DVD" options for a similar setting.

Good luck -- cranking out 50 of those puppies.

Video Dad,

I'm a bit confused by your terminology. When you say
the first show worked great, do you mean you were able
to burn a DVD, and that DVD plays great?

I don't understand why subsequent copies would have
sync problems if the first copy is okay. But if that's
the case, John Kelly's suggestion to make copies of
the first DVD is a good one to try.

If you don't have software that's capable of duplicating
a DVD, you might want to give DVD Decrypter a try.

Step 1: Rip your good DVD to an ISO image on your
hard drive.

Step 2: Burn the ISO image from your hard drive to
another DVD. If the copy plays fine, repeat
another 48 times.

If the video is out of sync coming out of movie maker as one huge long
movie, try saving it out as a few smaller movies. Then bring the smaller
movies into the DVD burning app and put them in order.

You might also defrag your hard drive if you have not in a while. (always a
good thing to do - kind of like crossing your fingers I suppose, it can
never hurt)
