Audio out of sync

I have a big iDVD project which has burnt to disk successfully under earlier versions of iDVD, but in iDVD 08 the sound and vision are out of sync; by the end of the movie they are several seconds apart.

I've tried saving the Final Cut Pro movie as a stand-alone QuickTime DV file; I've checked that the sound in the movie is 16bit. The big problem in testing it is that it all appears okay when previewing in iDVD 08 - it's only after 7 hours of building a disk image that I can see if it has worked or not.

It's quite a long video (about 70 minutes) if that's any help, and I have to build the disk on High Quality. But that hasn't caused problems with earlier versions.

The project is moderately urgent, so if no one can suggest a solution, a workaround would be helpful - including the option of going back to older versions of iDVD.

Thanks

Do you have all the recent iApp updates and the latest version of Quicktime?

I'm also having a sync problem... I hardly ever use idvd so no history but I have all the latest updates. I have dvd consisting of 2 short .mov's imported into idvd (5 to 12 min length each) and within idvd sync is OK.. a little off. But when I burn dvd audio sync is off from the start. It's supposed to be easy...
maybe I'll try that disc image route mentioned above...

Tell us more about your source material? Just saying '.mov's' doesn't tell us anything about the encoder that were used for video and audio.

Maybe - if you are making a DVD of your home movies using DV video from iMovie. But if you have other than DV content from other sources, things can get to be anything BUT easy.
