Audio Synchronisation - Does Anyone have the Answers ?

[donstarr]

Here are my steps, similar to Mark's yet I'm getting monstrous audio 
offsets:

1. Use the new Tivo Client and tserver_mfs (from the 27 May 2002 
version of tytool2.zip) to extract and split (e.g. yielding show.m2v 
and show.m2a).
2. TMPGEnc -> MPEG Tools -> Simple mux to generate show.mpg from the 
m2v and m2a files.
(playing this mpg in PowerDVD exhibits the audio offsets)
3. Use DVD2AVI to generate show.d2v and show.mpa from show.mpg
4. TMPGEnc wizard (DVD NTSC) to generate show_dvd.mpg from show.d2v 
and show.mpa

The resulting show_dvd.mpg is still exhibiting ~150ms (guess, by 
observation) audio offset, in both PowerDVD and WMP. The split 
operation in Tivo Client told me that the audio was 7 ms early.

Do I have extra steps in there (i.e. muxing to the first MPEG, then 
generating the NTSC DVD MPEG in DVD2AV)? Am I totally missing some 
setting or option in one of these that would give me the audio 
offsets?
