Sorry the ISO files weren't useful. The projects I'm doing are mostly videos of my daughter as she has grown over the years. The ones I've done so far focus on her and she's too young to talk. I thought the clips of my father playing guitar would easily show the slippage. I'm simply trying to transfer camcorder video to DVD. I guess I'll keep going and look for clips with adults talking that are out of sync. To answer your question, the sync problem is indeed evident in the timeline sequence after the capture, not burning the ISO. (The burning process appears to preserve whatever the A/V sync is, IN or OUT.) I still suspect it has to do with the "fine tuning" I did when adding the bookmarks. What about my observation above? The file with the extension .dv created by VP is in-sync. Any ideas on how to create an ISO or DVD with that file? -0-0- Here's a new wrinkle: there is a video file with the extension .dv that was created by VP. It is of the full 1-hour video and IT IS TOTALLY IN SYNC when I view it with an application called "All media player". The ENTIRE hour! It is not in-sync when I view it with VP. Thanks.

I will send you two short ISO files that are from the same raw footage: one is IN sync, the other is OUT. The initial project above was scrapped after I was able to transfer a 2nd tape to ISO, then to DVD disc without any sync problems. I guess I convinced myself that the original file was corrupted. Then I tried a third tape and the sync problem is happening again. The clip I will send come at the end of a one-hour tape. It seems like the A/V mismatch is worse at the end of the 1-hour clip. I wonder if the file is just too large when it is a single clip/sequence. Also, I add bookmarks to the sequence to be used as chapters (as you advised - thank you!), but I'm wondering if it loses sync slightly when I move the cursor back-&-forth in my attempt to position the bookmark precisely. The clip that is IN sync was a 2nd video capture, but only of the footage at the end of the tape. I hope you can figure out what is going on. Do I need to break up the video capture into several clips/sequences? The recording function doesn't seem to like it when the tape is paused, so maybe you can give me some suggestions of how to break it up. Thank you again for all your help!! GWBuffalo

WOW!!! Thanks for the quick reply!! That's fantastic!! Much appreciated!! 👏👏👏 Thanks also for the tip on Chapters. I'm trying to trim the file down for the uploading process, but it seems to want to include the entire 1-hour Video Recording which is ~13 GB. I don't think you want me to upload that, do you? At one point, I was experimenting with the video stabilization processing and it seems to include that .avi file. I would like to keep it private, but I don't see a folder at the top-right of this forum. Please advise. Thank you.

Hello, I am having a similar problem. I "recorded" video files from my old Sony camcorder (Digital8 format using Hi8 tapes) using a firewire. The Clip (tape) is just over an hour long. I break the Clip into Sequences because I'm assuming that when I output it to a DVD Movie, the Sequences will become "DVD Chapters". (I don't really know if this is true; I'm a newbie at VideoPad, having just purchased it today. VP Professional v8.97.) Some of the Sequences have the video & audio out-of-sync. I then unlink the A/V of the individual Sequence and sync them back up manually. When I'm "happy" with everything (not happy about taking so long...), I Export Video to a DVD Movie and I get a "Processing Sound Clips, please wait..." message with the scrolling bar. It's been an hour already... still waiting. So I have 3 questions: Why is the audio getting out-of-sync? WTF w/ the Processing Sound Clips? Do Sequences become DVD Chapters when exported to DVD? I bought the s/w because I have about 25 tapes of family, etc. that I want to get into DVD format. I appreciate any help you can give.
