Video/Audio ot of Sync

[Guest]

After I burned a DVD of my movie the audio is a few seconds behind the video. Audio and video was in sync when my project was completed in Movie Maker, was in sync when I previewed it in MyDVD before I burned the DVD. The problem only surfaced after I played movie back on a DVD player. I've added one JPEG image at the end of my movie with a duration of about 6 seconds. Could this be the cause of my concern?

Hello there,

After I burned a DVD of my movie the audio is a few seconds behind the

video. Audio and video was in sync when my project was completed in Movie
Maker, was in sync when I previewed it in MyDVD before I burned the DVD. The
problem only surfaced after I played movie back on a DVD player. I've added
one JPEG image at the end of my movie with a duration of about 6 seconds.
Could this be the cause of my concern?

If the video was in good shape prior to being introduced to MyDVD it would
seem to indicate an issue with the DVD software rather than Movie Maker.

I don't use MyDVD so I have to ask, Is there a preview mode (of the
resulting DVD) and if so when you use that mode is the problem apparent
there, or not until you have actually created the DVD.

Nothing is ever beyond the realms of possibility, but I doubt if a still
image at the end could ever be responsible for something going on at the
beginning.

Thanks for the quick response John. Yes there is a preview mode and the problem was not apparent when I previewed the movie prior to burning it. One thing I noticed though is that the titles I've placed at the beginning of my movie seemed to play back on the DVD more rapidly than the time I allowed for them on the Movie Maker time line. In addition, I've added a sound track to coincide with these titles. It now seems that the sound track continues to play after the titles are shown, and the audio portion then begins at the end of the sound track. It appears the audio portion is correct but the video has seemed to have sped up at the beginning.

Hi there,

I once had the same problem and had to take advice. For me the problem
was because I had captured video of my own making and some from elsewhere.
The elsewhere video had its frames displayed in the wrong order (For TV etc
there are two frames often called odd and even) It seems that because these
frames were in the wrong order the codec fails to function properly and the
result is exactly as you describe.

My solution was to save the various elements separately and then
re-import them and then from there make the final video. Obviously doing it
this way you first check each of the newly created elements first before
committing them to the final cut.

Hope that helps a little.
