...and the sound has gone progressively more and more out of sync...

don't know about the sound issue, but the stutteering sounds like a frame-rate thing, check if the downloaded file is NTSC.

bgarthp: that would make sense - and account for the sound, if I've reencoded the frame rate from NTSC to PAL, but the sound track - which I disassociated from the video file - was encoded at NTSC frame rate. How can I tell how the original file as encoded? Would gspot, as mentioned by Marc, do that also? I need to Google for it...

Well, I just downloaded gspot - what a tool it seems to be. Thanks for the recommendation, Marc. From it, I learn that the original file was at 23.97fps (which is PAL, right?) and that it was encoded using DIVX5.0. Interlacing is 1 vid frame (42 ms), p=456 Split: No. x:y co-ordinates are 720x384 (1.88:1) [=15:8].
So, perhaps a little change of tack. Can anyone tell me, given the file's characteristics, what I need to do to/with it to get it onto a DVD that can be watched via a set top box on the TV?

aaaah.... Thanks Marc. So would taking an NTSC file and encoding it as a PAL file cause the slight stutter and lack of sound sync I've seen?

Yes, in all probability this is your problem. Simply burn as an NTSC DVD and hope your player an TV support NTSC.

Oh, and also, while I think about it... Once I've got my separate video and audio files on the timeline in Premiere, do I need to export them as a movie prior to exporting to DVD - or can I just go straight to 'export to DVD'?

You can just export them as a DVD.

Cool - very many thanks Marc. You're right up there with that nice Mr. Mills - a prince among men...
