Video saves as .AVI in 99% of the elapsed storyboard time

I have created a movie with MSWMM 5.1 on a Pentium 4, 3.2 GHz with an
essentially empty hard drive and 2 GB or RAM. I have been saving as DV/AVI
(NTSC).

I had the problem of audio skips, so I saved the Audio/Music track
separately as a .WAV file, and then saved the Video/Transition/Title Overlay
tracks separately (for eventual merger). The Audio/Music track saved on the
exact same timeline as in MSWMM, to the second. The video tracks save to a
file that is only 99% as long as the storyboard in MSWMM (i.e. in MSWMM the
video was 30:07 min on the storyboard, but the resultant .AVI file is only
29:48 min, or 99% of the original timeline). It is therefore impossible to
subsequently synch the audio and video. I'm at a loss, please help.

I think this may be what is causing the audio skips people have been
complaining about.

if you have 17 clips on the timeline, maybe it relates the 'generational
loss' issue mentioned on the Problem Solving > Video Issues page of my
site....

My testing with version 2.0 had shown that the 27th frame of each clip was
dropped during the rendering.... I haven't rechecked it with MM2.1 yet.
