Sorry, what is the "lead in and lead out" feature?

Presumably, you're referring to menu transitions, but the problem isn't stated quite clearly enough for me to understand what you mean.

The subject says "Audio out of sync in DVDA3", but the body of the message says "... the video seems to be the only thing affected, the audio isn't included!"

If you can be a little more specific on what you expect to see vs. what you're seeing, it might be easier for someone to make a suggestion.

Sorry, I'll try to explain what I am doing better...

I am making a DVD that has only one chapter, so when the menu comes up in the DVD player it has only one button to select (Play). The background of the DVD has the company’s logo on it.

When I navigate into the Video there is a yellow tab on the left and one on the right, I drag the one on the left to start the video about 6 seconds past the beginning (this is what I think is causing the problem), I also move the lead out so it cuts off the end a few seconds.

What I think is causing the problem is the video is beginning where I want it to (six seconds after the start), but the audio track is unaffected by the lead-in I placed in DVDA3.

I can fix it by going back into vegas and editing out the parts I don't want, but it seemed so simple to just use the lead-in and lead out features I thought it would save me some time avoiding re-rendering the video.

Thanks,

Steve

Ohhhh.... Now I got ya. (I usually just call those the In and Out points.)

That's weird. Is the file an AVI or MPEG2? Audio in the same file as the video or in a separate file? What format is the audio?

Ah, yes -- that's much clearer. I've done exactly this in DVDA-2, and it worked just fine. Haven't yet tried it in 3. Perhaps a quick test tonight is in order...

EDIT: Have performed a test in which I set in/out points in DVDA-3. Audio is present and synced with the video. All is well.

Bstro,

It is a MPEG2, the audio is in the same file as the video.

cbrillow,

Did you use a MPEG-2 file or AVI?

I tried it again and it did the same thing. Could it be my DVD burner?

I have a Sony DRU-720A DVD burner.

zstevek -- In this particular case, it was an avi file, which is very unusual for me.

Have you successfully created DVDs on this burner with DVDA-2 or a different software package?

Under the circumstances, I'd get very basic and try to burn a simple test file without setting the in/out points. Sounds like you need to develop some confidence in your burner/system and starting out with low-demand tasks is a way to approach it.

I'd also be very curious as to the origin of your MPEG-2. Is this something that was rendered from Vegas, or did you obtain it from another source? MPEG-2 and A/V sync problems are a frequent pairing, when improperly created MPEG is used as the source video.

If possible, try a burn with a DV AVI file, or from an MPEG that you rendered from Vegas.

cbrillow,

I rendered the MPEG2 in Vegas 6, I am going to try the AVI file in DVDA3 and see what happens.

Thanks

I just had exactly the same thing happen when I used set in and out points. I went back to check the mpeg file and it was ok. I use an HP420i but I doubt that the burner is the problem.

I wonder if I had both the audio and video file selected when setting the in and out points. Maybe DVDA3 works differently in this respect. I did check the manual but there is no reference to audio/video sync when setting in and out points.
