Okay, here is where I am at. I have Tivo to go and am trying to burn the videos onto DVD. The files plays fine in WMP and I have attempted to convert the file toa MPEG which also plays well in WMP. However, whhen I load it into EMC or Pinnacle for that matter, the audio becomes increasingly delayed as it plays and it carries over when burning to DVD (thinking it was a playback through editor issue).

This didn't used to be an issue.

I am running an Intel 6600 Core Duo at 2.4 GHz
2 Gig of PNY DDR2
360 GB WD SATA HD
HiS/ATI Radeon 1650 Pro with 512 MB GDDR2
Windows XP Home SP3

Any ideas would be appreciated.

A problem that has been with us ever since DVD writing started - common culprits are:

Defrag the hard drive before rendering

Shut down any background apps during rendering

Render to an image file (instead of directly to the disc - then just open that by double clicking and it will burn). This cuts the procedure to one thing at a time
