We recently burned a DVD for a client. Played it on two different DVD players in the shop and it worked perfectly. Client took it to a friend's house and played it. Called us immediately saying that the audio was out of sync by a couple of seconds, but only in certain places on the DVD.
She came in the next morning to pick up a new DVD (that I spent much of the night burning), and brought in the "faulty" discs. We played each of them in two different decks: absolutely no problems.
After questioning the client, we learned that the discs had been played on a TIVO device. Moreover, that the house was wired throughout for A/V and that the TIVO box was more than 100 feet from the TV on which the disc was watched.
I doubt that the length of the cable run had anything to do with the problem, but I wonder about TIVO. Anyone ever heard of a problem like this?
The payoff was that she tookone of the "faulty" discs and projected it at a party of 300 and it worked flawlessly. Lip sync was perfect, as was the image.
