tovid convert causing synch issues


Hi, I'm using TovidGui v. 0.31 on Ubuntu 8.04 to convert avi to dvd. Converts and burns but from halfway through a 1 Hour video sound and video go out of synch. Is this a known issue and should I just use DeVeDe?
From the log....
„Running command: makedvd -quiet -author -burn -device /dev/scd0 /tmp/Untitled_disc.xml“

And later...
„STAT: fixed 7 VOBUS

STAT: fixing VOBU at 0MB (17/7644, 0%)

STAT: fixing VOBU at 2MB (33/7644, 0%)...................STAT: fixing VOBU at 1085MB (7633/7644, 99%)

STAT: fixed 7644 VOBUS „


Can somebody help here please?

A/V sync is one of the more difficult and annoying aspects of video conversion. You can't always rely on automatic converters to get it right when there are so many different combinations of codecs and formats floating around.

That's one reason why I usually do most of my conversions manually with ffmpeg or transcode or such, demultiplexing the audio and video so they can be processed separately, and only remuxing them back together at the end of the process. If I'm making a video dvd, I simply make sure the output is in dvd-compatible mpeg2 format, which can then be used without major processing by most authoring programs. It takes more effort and knowledge of what you're doing, but it does give you more control and helps you avoid this kind of problem.

ToVid encodes without synch issues by using the „Ffmpeg“ encoder option. Only one more problem...on creating menu I'm stuck on „Default“ font. So I downloaded and exercised (to /home folder) „ Anthony Thyssen's imagick_type_gen.pl script“ from the Tovid Wiki but font isn't seeing any more fonts as default. Any suggestions please?
