You didn't say, but I'm assuming you are working with DV AVIs in
Premiere and are rendering and transcoding your timeline to an MPG
file in one step with Premiere. Then you are importing this MPG file
into Encore. Finally, you are authoring a DVD from these
rendered/transcoded files and are having synch problems. I think the
poster who told you to RENDER in Encore, really ment to say to
TRANSCODE in Encore, to see if that would eleminate your synch
problem.

I think your misunderstanding comes from confusing the RENDERING of a
timeline, and TRANSCODING a file. In Encore, you usually don't render
your project, you author it, which is why the Render command isn't
doing what you want. And, always, if you want to change an AVI to an
MPG (or any other combination of one file type to another), you
TRANSCODE it.

If what I described in paragraph one is the case, render your DV
footage into a new DV AVI file in Premiere. Check to make sure you
don't have a synch problem with the rendered file(s).

Next, import this/these DV AVI file(s) into Encore and use them to
author your DVD. When you use the Build command, you will be given a
dozen or so Preset transcoding options, or you can make your own
template to transcode the DV AVIs into DVD compliant MPG2 files (VOBs)
on your final DVD. If (for some unknown reason) you want to transcode
as a seperate step, just use the Transcode command and you will get
the same options on each individual AVI file as you transcode it.
Normally, it is best to transcode the entire project since this allows
Encore to make the best use of the available bits on your DVD.

Hope this helps,

Susan
