I have never used DVDA to do real rendering, only a few tests withshort files. I always use Vegas to render. One file with video and one with audio.

Could it be your source matr. that is problematic?

I have never had an issue with out of sync audio. But, I do all my prep work in Vegas and use it to render video files to mpeg2 and audio files to ac3. Then I drop into DVDA. The only thing that DVDA should want to render is your menus.

Also, be sure that you have the latest update to whichever version of DVDA you have.

If it continues after rendering everything in Vegas, then I would suspect either your media or your DVD drive.

Thanks. I checked the source material, and all is well. It's only the DVD that's out of sync. I'm using the 4.0b version.

I have four players at home, ranging from old to new.
The 2-hr. DVD I rendered in Vegas and compiled in DVDA is in perfect sync on two players, the audio is ahead a bit on a third player, and a full two frames ahead of the video on my computer with Power DVD, which is strange because there should have been some audio latency on my usb audio interface.

That being the case, I grouped my audio mix tracks, and moved them one frame downstream on the timeline, re-rendered just the audio, and now everything looks right on all my players, as well as people who got copies of the DVD.

I don't know if there is anything inherent in the mpg/ac-3 rendering or compilation that would cause this, but the different response to the same disc by different players is interesting.

If you're using VBR try CBR. To fit 2 hrs there's a lot of compression/decompression going on which could account for the differences in different players.
