What kind of source files are you using to make the MM2 movie?

I also am having the same problem. PapaJohn, what do you mean by source files?

What brand and model digital camera are you using, and how are you
connecting it to your computer to get the files... firewire or USB?

MPEG2 files often exhibit video/audio sync issues. I had one the other night
that I resolved by putting the audio on the audio/music track in MM2 and
shifting it about a second relative to the video.

It could be a codec issue in MM2, which doesn't work well with MPEG2
files.... so yes, converting prior to import might be better. Testing it on
your system will tell.

I recorded from a camcorder (Sony .4 lux and older camera) to my computer.

I then imported it to movie maker. There is no delay when I watch the video
using Windows Media PLayer, yet when I use Windows Movie Maker, it doesn't
match up. Would converting the mpeg to avi help? Thanx
