[MacDV] Re: Losing audio sync in iMovie/iDVD

[sb]

That doesn't make sense. 12 bit or 16 bit certainly do apply.
Why don't you check the item properties on the clips to make sure they are
indeed 48khz? Use QTPro Player. You can also check to make sure the frame
rate is 29.97.

However, I suspect the culprit might be the back to back iMovie titles. If
so, you might have to export them and then reimport as a self contained
clip.
