OK, so this is the story so far -
- recorded a gig with an old Hi8 camcorder and also from SBD>DAT
- played the video into a domestic DVD-recorder
- ripped the DVD to PC using DVD Decryptor so that I had separate AC3 files (5 in total - i think the DVD-recorder had been set to auto-split chapters every 30mins)
- converted the AC3s to wavs and created montages with the chopped up SBD>DAT wavs in Wavelab
- converted these montages back to AC3
My questions:
- when I did the AC3>conversions, BeLight flagged them up as having a "delay" - do I need to stipulate this delay in BeLight when converting back to AC3?
- how do I burn the resulting files to a DVD (with Nero) so that the new audio will play along with the video? My first attempt threw up some non-compatibility warnings in Nero and led to a disc that had no audio...
I know this was a less than ideal set up but now I've finally got the audio lined up and mixed together in sync (and what fun that was), I'd really like to get the whole thing burned to DVD to be enjoyed at some later time when *every single note* isn't quite so fresh in my mind.
Any advice would be much appreciated.

I didn't quite follow your process, but I'll throw this out there anyway ~
Why not just drop the video and the DAT audio (in wave format) into a smart mpeg editor (like Womble), synch them, and have the smart editor write a new mpeg 2 file?

Cheers for that.
Essentially, what you suggest is how I'd envisaged doing this in the first place. But someone on these pages had suggested the method I ended up using [of course, now I want to quote it, the search function doesn't seem able to find it...]. Given the limited software I have and my unwillingness to purchase any more, it seemed a relatively simple way of doing it.
Before I scrap the hours of work done so far and start again properly, can anyone tell me how to recombine my audio and video files???
In case it came out a bit jumbled above, what I've done is use DVD Decryptor to rip the DVD into separate audio and video files. I've then modified the audio files so that the soundboard recording is mixed in. What I need to know now is how to burn these files back to a DVD - I'm guessing it has something to do with the .nfo file, perhaps?
If it does come down to using another (proper) program, have I got any freeware options available to me?
Thanks again,
Yousef

so you have 2 files now
1 video and 1 audio
and you want to get them into 1 file that you can watch/burn??
you need a program that allows you to "author" dvds such as ulead video make or premier, decryptor will not work
