Audio out of sync in home-made DVD

[xylem]

I captured some home-recorded material with a computer that was originally recorded using a hand-held video camera. The resulting .mpg files play back fine (with audio and video in sync) as they are, but I used NeroVision Express 3 to change it to DVD format, and the resulting product plays back with audio and video starting in sync, but progressively shifting out of sync over time, such that the audio is about a second late when half an hour into the material.

This Nero program seems to automatically re-encode the material even though both the video (mpeg-2) and audio (mpeg-1 layer 2) seem to be in the proper media formats for DVD playback... it's just the file formats that should need changing, which shouldn't require hours of re-encoding.

Does anyone know a quick fix for the above sync problem?

Your reencoding at the incorrect framerate.

That makes sense. The video is 29.97 fps. I'm surprised NeroVision wouldn't detect that properly, since there are no options to change it. Guess i'll have to find a different program.

Do you know of any software that can be used to convert .mpg to the typical ifo/vob dvd file arrangement without re-encoding?

Its a site/forum dedicated to encoding/decoding , making dvd, etc.
Probably the best one on the net.

I had that same problem using NeroVision 3 over a year ago. Upgrading to a newer version of NeroVision (I'm using 4.9) seemed to have fixed the problem.
