Will there be an option to do DVD to DVD-R in later versions

Did you try what DVD2SVCD wrote above? If you do you should be able to create DVDs like that with D2S no problem.

Yes but how about dvd2svcd authoring the dvd image and only reencoing if it needs to otherwise it just copys the dvd... cool. baker

Well - I need some help, it seems like this is the best place to ask - I cannot get rid of the audio sync problem - ive followed every tutorial going and i still get the same problem ive tried using ulead, dvdit and spruce up but none work - ive also tried loading in a muxed file but they all error/fall over and the only way to get to recognize the audio and video is to load them in separately - but then end up with the audio out of sync - by about a second or so........had this writer about a year and never managed to get a perfect rip.......end of my teather - anyone?????

Ehhhh, are you using DVD2SVCD ?

3 possible sync probs 

My exp. has shown that sync probs comes from: 1) Not using DVD2AVI 1.76 .....other versions cause sync anarchy! 2) Orig. Movie itself does not start audio until a few secs have passed. 3) You tried to do Force film when u need IVTC or pure interlace. Solutions are: 1) Get dvd2avi 1.76 2) Use ac3delaycorrector to force your authoring tool to start the audio later. 3) Inspect the playback in DVD2avi ...if the stats claims FILM 99% after playing for a while then use force film. If DVD2AVI reports NTSC and u see (by stillframeing) 2 Interlace then 3 motion blur repeated........U gotta use IVTC. IF u see NTSC and no signs of interlaceing ...still USE IVTC.IF u see nTSC and ALL frames are interlaced ...then disable force film and IVTC and encode at 29.97fps. If u using CCE 2.5 to encode an interlaced TFF movie....it will flip the fields and claim TFF, regardless of the source. U will have to do a PULLDOWN -no 2:3 and make the fields EVEN ...see the pulldown text file on this. With a BFF movie...u will have to PULLDOWN -no 2:3 and make fields ODD. I just did a movie that had a 13.5 sec delay in the audio......and that movie was released in MAY 2002. I think they're doing that to confuse us. BTW watch out for movies that switch audio bitrates for the logo/credits....this causes authoring tools to report inconsistent bitrate and choke. U will have to chop off the logo/credits with VOBedit/Vobsplit etc.

dvd to dvd-r 

right - here we go - i started using the settings as mentioned above and was using the muxed file that dvd turfed out (as per the settings) but the authoring software 3 different types - played the video but with no audio. I then started messing with the settings but still had no luck - then started to try to use the separate audio and video streams which produced the sync problem and thats where im at. with regards to the solution, im using build 3 of the dvd2svcd software which already has the dvdtoavi version that youre talking about, im not sure where the ac3 delay corrector is, ( sorry im not as clever as you, but hey, thats why im here...! )...the second paragraph, well im still studying that one......! Well im gonna go back and have a play - just out of curiosity what youve said needs to be done makes all the "how to" guides on vcdhelp and the like total horseshite.......cos ive been through em all..... Thanks for your help all the same but i think im gonna need more....
