I have an MPG2 video file that I'm trying to edit in My DVD and VideoWave. When I play the raw file in RealPlayer, WinDVD, etc. the audio and video are in sync. When I move it to Roxio to edit out some commercials, etc., the audio and video are out of sync. The video runs almost a full second ahead of the audio. I thought maybe it's how the application handled things in real time so I finished the editing and burn a DVD. The DVD plays fine but the audio and video are out sync like they were in Roxio.

Suggestions on how to fix it?

Best chance of success.

Output the edited file to mpg2-Best for DVD using Video Wave.  Navigate to the file using Media Manager and right click to extract the audio to a wav file.   Reopen Video Wave and add the mpg2.  Click to show hidden tracks and put a check mark by "native audio".  Close that and select the native track that will now be visible.  Mute it using the microphone icon.  Add the wav file to the music track.  You can adjust it forward and back to get it to line up.

I'm assuming that the audio is out of sync a certain amount for the entire production.  If it starts in sync and then goes out, that is a more difficult fix.

When you are capturing, capture in smaller chunks with nothing else running especially your anti-virus (disconnected from the INTERNET of course).  The editing has to do with key frames and their identification.  It is a problem with all but the top of the line video editing programs.
