Off compared to what? If you brought the corrisponding video in via S-Video (Analog) then this would be normal as there is analoge to digital delay. But you could adjust in the audio delay in TED easily.

I am not quite sure what your problem is ... there really is no way that DV audio can drift unless the problem is in the source (which is equally unlikely) or frames are dropped somewhere in the processing chain. All that said, I have seen one case in which audio can become out of sync with the video (although it does not drift) which is rare, and relates to the reading of the time-code from the raw DV data. There will be a fix for this problem in an patch that will be coming soon ... along with quite a few other improvements in DV deck control.

If you are still having problems, these are my general recommendations :
(Ensure that you have DX9.0a or better installed)

1) Kill VT, clean of everything you can ... Switch your camera off.
2) Disconnect all other IEEE1394 devices from your machine.
3) Now launch VT[3]
4) Launch capture panel
5) Setup your capture
6) Now switch camera on

That's great news! The one time I tried batch capture with a DV deck it was worthless. However, to be fair, in the instance I was trying to use it I couldn't allow for the 1 second before and after buffers and I believe that was part of the problem. Others have gotten it to work in a situation where they had more padding footage before and after the scenes.

Could we have a way to export the batch list either to another edl program or just as text. This could even be a stand alone utility that would read toaster project files and output either text or several other edl formats.
