Hi,

I have holiday video from the last few years stored on VCD and have recently purchased a DVD writer.

I am trying to join some of the VCD streams together to create a final DVD which can be updated each time we go anywhere.

Everywhere I have read it seems that joining mpeg = bad; so I thought I'd try to do the following instead.

mpeg streams extracted from VCD using VCDGear (freeware).

mpegs added to Vegas timeline and edited as neccessary.

Render to compliant mpeg 2 / 5.1 ac3 ready to import to DVDA.

However, I'm experiencing severe audio sync problems with the finished video with lags of up to 2 seconds in duration.

Any ideas or should I just bite the bullet and join the streams prior to editing?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Rob.
