Audio fine on iDVD but goes out of synch once burned via iMovie


Having a persistent problem that is causing me to buy a lot
of expensive DVD+R DL discs.

I imported my movie in iMovie '06. I prefer to use that program
over '08. I added music throughout, and since my project was large,
by the time I imported it to iDVD I had to burn it to a DL DVD rather
than a regular one.

Before burning, I check that the music is qued properly and that
everything is in synch. However, after the DVD is burned, the voice
and audio track is about 1 second out of synch. The music track is fine.
It's a very noticeable problem.

I'm looking at the original file I have on my hard drive on iDVD and it
plays completely in synch. Why is it going out of synch when burned
and how do I prevent the burning process from manipulating the track?

I am guessing the problem could be the double layered DVD and the
fact that it has to switch layers which causes the audio track to go out of synch.

I had this problem before and went through multiple burns and expensive
DL DVD discs before I got two that synched properly.

Any thoughts? If anyone has a fix, please be specific. Thanks
