Please help

My Audio is delay for about 1/10 to 3/10 sec after I burn a long videos (Over 1 GB) -- no delay with short clips -- did not test limit.

Here is some more info -- no delay on the original .mpg files when played on computer

Thank you, Franzle

OOPs just re-read your post and realized that I answered the wrong question (that answer further below).

Usually issues like yours are solved by burning to an iso (image file) file first and then copying the iso file to your DVD blank.  When you go to burn your production, select iso file and de-select the other two options.  Name the iso file and put the location on your hard drive where you want the file.  Let the program encode it.  Once it is done, open Disc Copier.  On the left side, navigate to the iso file.  You can preview it there t see if the sync issue is gone.  If so, just copy that iso file to the DVD blank.

This two step process separate the encoding from the burning so your CPU doesn't have to work so hard trying to do two processes at one time.  It is also a good practice to defrag your hard drive so minimize searching for parts of the project.  Do not use your computer durng the encoding phase - not even for e-mails or simple games.

Answer for capturing :  What you are experiencing is called "sync'.  It happens with all consumer  software to some extent.   You already have one solution, capture in shorter (15-20 minute) segments and then add all the captured files in VideoWave.  they will automatically "attach" to each other.  

Capturing as AVI files have also helped some people because the computer is not decoding/encoding to mpg2 at the same time.

Use a USB type capture device that captures both audio and video on one device.  This seems to reduce the sync issues but, depending on that device, the video image may be somewhat "soft' as compared to capturing using a video card.

Optimize your computer during capture.  Shut down all running program other than what you need to keep running including your anti-virus (disconnect from the internet) and capture to a clean and defragged hard drive.  If you have a lap top, turn off all power saving features.  Set your computer to performance rather than appearance.
