I'll try to explain my problem and situation better this time
The audio in my dvd's is about 3-4 seconds delayed from the video.
My PD version is 8.00.2013
My computer diagnostics are attached
As well as a print screen of what the video timeline looks like. Maybe there is a problem I'm just not seeing.
- I captured the music videos from a DVD
- I Changed all the captured content Alias' while in the content box (above the timeline)
- I then dropped the content into the timeline
- I added chapters at the beginning of each new clip
- Then I renamed the chapters
- I then added one of the stock DVD menus on th program and burned the DVD.

Still...everytime I burn a DVD the music is not matched with the words... Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I have had this problem in years past with other NLE platforms (not PD) and it is usually related to source materials.

If it would be possible to convert your DVD (vob ?) files to say an avi using one of the converters such as Prism (Virtual Dub??, others) first, and then import these avi's into PD, it might provide a solution, but I am not certain.

In most instances files from actual DVD's are already compressed and not ideally suited to editing, but sometimes they can be fixed.

Anybody else?

OK, I haven't any miracle solution for you.

There are reports on here of vob files when extracted and married up with other video going out of sync.

I note you have all of them with mpg extensions. Have you just changed the extension name - during your renaming process from vob to mpg?

Would you try rendering one video to an mpeg file and see if that corrects the issue?

Does one video in the video track play in sync?

I cant see you've done anything to the video - not even if you've added a transition between them.

When I captured the video from the DVDs they had the extention of mpeg, not VOB (Is that Bad?) again..I'm a newbie.

I've had the same issue with .vob files. See this thread for the suggested solutions that worked for me. Perhaps this will help.

Same problem here!
My video and audio are out of sync.
My project takes 1 week, today one of my videos in the timeline was black with 0,0,0 so i delete it an update from the library again.
After that my video was out of sync.
What's wrong?
thanks

Im getting frustrating with PD8.
Crashes
out of sync videos
for small clips its ok but 2hr long AVCD its a nightmare.

I've got the same problem. Anyone have a solution:

Ray.

I am a newcomer to this software (PD 8 in Media Suite) and have a encountered a similar poblem. I will describe my observations in case it helps isolate what appears to be a software bug, or at least a problem that others have encountered. First, I do have mixed media - mpeg, jpg and VOB. Before I inserted a lot of stills and VOB's, I produced the project and everything looked fine. Then, after massive video triming, insertion of stills and VOB's and transitions, the voices were noticably out of sync starting at about 38 minutes (out of 60 min total) and were 5-6 seconds out by the end of the video. If I played a clip from the end, it was out of sync. If I copied the same clip to the begining of the video, it played fine. So, what I wound up doing was producing the entire project, then deleting the clips from the begining that were synced properly, then producing again and so on. Eventually, I had overlaping AVI files that I could bring back into PD and trim and reassemble into my final production. This worked, but it is far from ideal and I would love to find a way to avoid it in the future.
