I have just entered the new world of trying to burn content to DVDs
instead of going to tape. I've got a 90 minute program cut on the Avid
which I tried transcoding and burning with Nero 7. The audio drifts--it
is slower than the video by a full 1.5 seconds at the end of the program.
This is driving me nuts...I've checked the exported version of the
program and it is fine, but by the time it gets on the DVD it is not. Is
Nero buggy? I've never had any trouble duping CDs or DVDs or burning data
discs. I've looked under the configure menu and don't see any real audio
settings, apart from enabling or disabling "smartburn" or whatever it is
called. Is this a sampling rate problem? Alternately, does anyone have
any good suggestions for DVD burning software which might solve this
problem?

I have done scores of productions without any of these kinds of problems.
I use Adobe Premiere to edit (and then export M2V) and then Adobe
Encore to author the DVDs (making IMG image files). I use DVDdecrypter
to burn the IMG image files to the DVD discs because I typically need to
do
lots of "re-orders" where I need to burn more discs on demand.

Adobe Premiere has a simple DVD authoring and burning feature included
(which I have never used) and Adobe Encore will also do burning itself.
But
I prefer DVDdecrypter as it gives infinitely more information about the
burning process.

What kind of file did you use to get the video from Avid to Nero?
Have you tried other options (other file types, having Avid encode
MPEG instead of Nero, etc. etc.etc.)?

I exported from Avid as a DV stream, since Nero doesn't seem to like QT
reference movies, which is how they are normally exported for authoring from
Avid. I did a web search and found out that audio drift is a major problem
in authoring DVDs, with Nero and with other software. At present I solved
the problem with a burning/authoring program called ConvertXtoDVD. The audio
is now perfect, but I am seeing some motion artifacts that were not there in
the Nero burn, so I am still experimenting. I do have Encore, and I guess
now is the time to learn how to use it. Thanks also for the tip on
DVDdecrypter.
