Old media still plays when replaced

I have a number of audio and video clips in a DVDA project. When I modify a clip outside DVDA, DVDA still plays the old clip, even if that clip has been written over. It looks as if DVDA had some ‘internal’ copy/version of the old media. It seems to happen rather randomly and mostly on titles with multiple video and audio clips. Any idea?

I haven't experienced this and don't think DVDA does store any copies of clips. Is it possible that your edited copies are saved in a different folder than the originals?

What happens if you remove the clip from the project and then re-import it?

When you go through the "Make DVD" sequence, make sure you check "Current Project" and not "Previously prepared folder" - the latter will simply burn a copy of the previous version instead of updating.

thanks to everyone for the replies so far. To clarify: I am not attempting to ‘Make DVD’ yet.. I am simply viewing the clips via the ‘Preview’ option and the clips which play are the old ones, not the new. If I replace them manually, then the new ones play. Could it be that Preview plays something different from the clips currently in the project?

I checked to make sure that the old clips do not exist anymore, I made a search on the hard drive for copies of the old clips, but there is none..

Did you let DVDA encode the videos? IF so, it has to store them somewhere, maybe under a temp name.
