Recorded DVD's off sync.

I got Sonic Record Now succesfully burning my home videos to DVD+R discs. Great. But when I play the chapters, the video stay on the first frame and the sound is fine. The video starts playing about 3 minutes into it. Why is this happening? Why is the video not moving for the first 3 minutes? I am new to DVD burning and Sonic Record Now.  Thanks

    Ok, I started from the beginning and did a new burn. The video and sound are just off sync but at least the video isn't paused in the beginning. Or maybe it is but for a few seconds which is why the sound is out of sync. I am not going to waste anymore DVD+Rs till I know what the deal is. They should be cheaper considering how many I have ruined already.

    You might consider trying this on DVD-RWs. They're slow but can be reused in the event you mess one up.

    Ok, I did some searching on the Sonic site and found a buried article about sound and video being out sync. Basically it told me NOT to convert AVI's to WMV because it gets compressed down and then when burning, gets uncompressed. Or something like that. Most of videos that I edit are in RAW AVI which is best so thats what is good for burning.
     
    Basically, this is how one should finalize their videos:
    720x480
    48k/16 bit audio
    29.9 FPS
     
    However, the DVI to AVI setting of 30FPS or whatever is fine in Windows Movie Maker.
