Audio and Video Not In Sync

Hello. I really need some help here with a problem I have not encountered before.

I have just received a DVD copy of my mother-in-law's funeral, which I am responsible for making multiple copies of and sending to out of state family members. When putting the DVD into my player and watching it on TV, the audio is out of sync with the video. I thought this was something I could fix in MAGIX Movie Edit Pro, by merely ungrouping the audio from the video, and sliding the audio to where it needs to be, to match the moving of my mouth on the video.

I can get it lined up at the beginning, but the problem is, it doesn't STAY lined up. By the time I'm finished speaking, it is out of sync again.

Can someone please help me, in simple and easy-to-follow instructions, make whatever adjustments that I need to make, in order to get it lined up and KEEP it lined up?

Thank you in advance.

@holland_derrick Hi, have you tried using the Stretch mouse option on the audio or video after you've ungrouped them, you'll prob have to adjust it in sections,

On some occasions, in MEP, I have had the audio drifting out of sync with the video. When this has happened, I have been able to fix this by making sure the frame rate of any videos I import into MEP, match my MEP project’s frame rate.

Here is something you might like to try.

When you start your MEP project, take a note of the project’s frame rate, be it 25 or 30.

Then, when you import the video from the DVD, make sure the Video frame rate is the same as your project.

You might also want to use a video converter to rip the DVD to a video file, setting that ripped video’s frame rate to match your MEP project. Once you have done this, import the video into your MEP project.

@Former user It's mentioned that the audio is out of sync on the DVD when watched on TV with a DVD player, so i'm assuming that when the media info when transferred to the PC from the DVD is still out of sync when played on the PC with a media player, the prob originates from the creation of the DVD, so it won't matter if the Project frame rate matches the media because the orig info is already corrupt/out of sync.

Yes, that's true, but the drift might still be happening after the import to MEP.......

. . . . received a DVD copy . . . player and watching it on TV, the audio is out of sync with the video. . . .

After importing the DVD video into Movie Studio - save the project then:

right click the video on the timeline and select Create (new) frame table
If the video is spread over more than one VOB - export the video as a Magix video MXV file and load this into a new project - skip this step if only one VOB is present on the timeline
If the video/audio is still out of sync - ungroup the video and audio
Select Stretch mouse mode and then stretch the audio in the direction required to bring it into sync.
Do a test export to mpg or mp4 and see if the audio is retaining sync.
