For the curious: I've attached a simple script which can be used to write pvr-x50 generated .nuv files to DVD. (Use at your own risk.) It uses ProjectX through its command-line interface to demultiplex the audio and video. Then it recombines using mplex and authors using dvdauthor. It finally

All I can say is, wow... I think I'd heard of and run into ProjectX before, but as a general rule I don't like to run programs written in either Java or perl. They both tend to be very difficult to install, and extremely fragile to paths/versioning changes. I finally bit the bullet today

After having used Project X for a long time now, and reading of these problems, I had a hunch it was the deumxing of the streams initially that may be causing the sync issues. After all, remuxing cannot add back what is not present in the demuxed streams, and so if the sync is not fixed at this
