The problem I'm having is that the video and audio are not in sync. Any ideas what maybe causing this? I'm also getting a fair amount of pixelation.

The settings in WMM2 are:
Variable bit rate
640x480 display size
30 frames per second

The pixelation doesn't bother me as much as the audio sync problem does.

Any ideas?
Audio synch has always been a pain when doing this...even digital to digital transfers do this a lot.

Best way to solve this (I know this is the hard way but it works) is to record the audio to a seperate track then manually synch it. I have done this once and it took a bit of doing but the results were pretty good and only once did I notice a slip in the track.

I think I got it!!! :yay: I tried doing everything in one program (DVD Movie Factory) and is solved all my problems(sync, pixelation, everything) It was only a 50 second clip, so hopefully the sync stays consistent on a longer one. Thank God for DVD RWs. Otherwise I'd have lots of coasters.
