Export to DVD

I had to reformat my computer and re-install Vegas 5.0 and DVDA 2.0. Since I bought my PC, I never changed any settings for Vegas. I would just click file, Render As, save the project and walk away for a couple of hours and everything was done! Then bring the video file to DVDA and away I went again. So what I need to know is what settings I should change or adjust on the Render as option in order to output a 2 hour NTSC DV project to DVD. As well, I tried rendering the project as an AVI only to learn that the audio was not completely in sync with the video? Please help

The audio should be in sync in the AVI or you need to figure out why it got out of sync in the project.

As for rendering a 2 hour MPEG2, the key is to click on CUSTOM and then change the Average bitrate to an appropriate value for 2 hours. If using AC3 audio, 4,825,000 should work and still allow room for a reasonable menu system.
