Can you tell me which model dvd standalone you are using?
Perhaps it's a problem with that hardware or firmware?

You can try a google and see if you're not alone using that brand or model
recorder.
Also an inline time base corrector between the two might help, as years ago
that's what
I had to do to get good dvd's out of my early philips standalone dvd
recorder.
I had worse than out of sync audio problems, I use to get audio that would
drift and then quickly try and catch up
crealting a blirp type audio glitch. The TBC eliminated it but I've since
sold that unit and seen newer dvd recorders
selling with built in TBC now as almost standard feature on the good ones.
