1) What MPEG settings did you use for rendering?

2) how are you playing back the MPEG file (DVD or software)?

1) tried MPEG 1 and MPEG 2, 96kbps audio, 240x160 video, 24.00 frame rate , 10 video quality, tried both CBR and VBR

2) Using Windows Media Player for playback

I think it's the MPEG encoder because I used TMPGEnc 2.5 to encode with no problems

I have been working on a project and have a similar problem.

I had rendered before with no problems. I made a couple of minor changes and now the MPEG goes out of sync at the same point when I render. It's at the start of a clip 3/4 of the way through the project.

It plays fine in VV and when I do a selective pre-render.

Once rendered to MPEG, the video is much faster than the audio. Might it have something to do with my nVidia Geforce 4 card? Should I turn off video acceleration? Thanks for the help Sonic.

I have just realised mpeg has audio sync problems all the way through. This occurs in Media player 9 and WinDVD

It has been a while since I last created a MPEG. Since then I have installed the following - is it likely to be one of the following apps changing my environment?

InterVideo WinDVD Platinum
DirectX 9 for XP
Windows Media Player 9 Release condidate
MS Movie Maker 2 Beta
Added Audigy2 sound card and associated drivers

I have captures of the render as window and associated tabs if this helps.

I have now tried with TMPGenc and it works fine

If you have been following another thread on render speed it is probably best to render to an AVI from the timeline and then use TMPGenc or use VV to render the single AVI to MPEG - it is quicker.
