Hello,

I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts as to why my Markers are out of sync in my final DVD.

Here’s what I have done to get here.

a) Edit video in VV4 to 56 minutes
b) Placed 12 songs on audio track
c) Placed Markers naming each song, precisely where songs begin/end
d) Render to .avi
e) Pull .avi back into Vegas
f) Using Satish’s FrameServer, I render to mpg-2 with MainConcept’s 1.4 standalone Encoder.
g) In DVDA, open mpg as Single Movie
h) I see the Markers in DVDA (so I think all is okay)
i) Just to be sure, I SaveMarkers, and Save the DVDA file
j) Burn DVD

When I play the DVD on tv I can advance through the video with my standalone remote, but the timing is all out of sync.

What I have done to “fix”:

a) Manually re-set the “precise” positions of Markers in DVDA, flipping back and forth between DVDA and (VV’s timeline in order to see the timing positions of the properly set Markers, so they can be re-set in DVDA).
b) ReSave Markers/DVDA file
c) Burn DVD

In short:

The rendered .avi maintains the Markers, in their proper places, as proved when pulling it back to the Timeline. It seems they are being mixed up in the mpg encode, perhaps via the FrameServer?

Any thoughts on this?

Thanks!
