Audio out of sync

[byronheusdens@netze]

Perahps someone could tell me if I'm on the right path. I have a Sony Hi8 video camera that I use for vacations and such and then download into my Dell computer and use Creator 8 to edit and burn my home DVD movies. Everything on the edited DVD movie is enjoyable except when a tour guide is talking and explaning items on the tour and he is speaking on camera, his speech is out of sync with his audio (speaking). On the original video the sound of his voice is in sync. Also, when there are people walking, although smoothly and naturally on the original video, they appear on the burned DVD movie as walking very jerkelly and not smoothly and naturally.

 

Is the problem occuring because I am going from an analog video tape and downloading to the computer which is then changing the movie to digital? Has the format been changed to digital from analog and then burned as digital the problem?

 

Will this still occur if I was using a digital video camera? If this is the case, then I will be looking to buy a digital camera to avoid this problem. If this is not the problem with the audio being out of sync, does anyone know how to correct this? I don't want to have to buy a new digital camera if need be, but I will so that I can remedy this audio problem.

 

Any thoughts and help will be greatly appreciated.

I guess I should have really said that digital and audio are almost the same. There are some differences. The sync problem you discussed might occur in either.

 

If you have the standard MyDVD, this is similar to what you should see if you go to burn. This is from V9 but it is the same in V8. Should should also have disc copier as one of the applications on the home page.

 

 

Thanks!! I'll try that and see if the sync problem is solved. I appreciate your time and effort in helping me.

Analog vs digital should not have anything t do with it. If your project previews correctly, in MyDVD when you go to burn, encode to an image (iso) file. When that encoding is complete, close MyDVD and open Disc Copier. On the left side of the window, navigate to the iso file and preview it there. If it looks in sync, just copy that iso file to your DVD.

 

As you can guess, this two step process separates the encoding from the actual burning so your computer can concentrate on one thing at a time. It really takes only a few minutes longer.

 

BTW, you might also try burning at a lower speed just in case.

 

Thanks for the tip. I'm a novice at this stuf as you may have guessed. How do I encode to an ISO file?

It is best to capture only about 10-12 minutes at a time. There is less of chance of anything going out of sync.

 

You can add those separate files to VideoWave and make a seamless video production.

 

Thanks for your thoughts, however, I usually have only about ten minute sigments at a time. When a tour guide is talking, he is in sync on the video, but not on the finished DVD movie. Is this because I'm using an analog video camera and not a digital video camera?
