I've decided to learn how to make menu's, but my audio seems to be going out of sync. Why? and how do I fix it?

Sorry, I have no experience with that program at all. Hopefully someone can step up and give you some ideas...

I want to thank you for answering my post. I think I know what the problem is or at least part of the problem. Some disc's are not playin the way they should on my computer, but I'm not sure why. Theses disc's played and copied on my old computer, but are not on my new computer. Could it be the hard drive? the decoder? or the the disc? If it was the disc, why would play and copy on my old computer without any problems?

I'll fire off a group of questions, sorry if they seem basic:

Have you tried to play the discs on another player or in another PC? Are they still out of synch? Do you have other applications running at the same time you're working on the shows? Have you defragged your hard drive? How much free space do you have on your hard drive? How much memory do you have?

I'm goin to try playing the disc in another computer tomorrow.

No the video is not out of sync.

I have nothing running while I burn the disc.

As for free space, It's about 95% free

Well, that knocks some things out. No need to defrag as there is plenty of space, no other apps taking up memory. I'm interested to hear how it is on another PC. I'll look around, see if I can find anything else that may help...

Any help would be much appericated. I might take my computer back to were I got it from some time this week to see what they say. I tryed another (different) disc last night. I captured it, but when I went to make new chapter points, the audio and video were out of sync. When I did a preview, it seems to hit a certin point and the picture would freeze up.

Ok, I played the disc in another computer and it played fine were it would stop on my home computer I even made a new dvd copy from my master tape and it still stopped at the same spot on my home computer. Something is wrong here, but I'm not sure.
