    I am having audio sync problems using WinDV to transfer DV from my Sony TRV260 to my PC. After 15 minutes the video leads the audio by 1/2 to 1 second. I am transferring as type 2 DV. Does anyone have any thoughts as to why this would be happening? If it matters, the footage was shot directly onto DV with this camera, since (I don't think) the TRV260 does not do recording from AV jacks, only from the DV jack.

    Would using Type 1 DV and then converting to Type 2 work better (since I work with VirtualDub and AVISynth to do any editing/frameserving)?

    Tried transferring DV type 1 over the weekend. My editing apps don't handle DV type 1, so I converted using Ulead's DV Type 1 to DV Type 2 Converter (link available in the tools section of this site). Some users report that this tool craps out on the audio after the 4GB mark, but since I am using Win98 SE, I don't have to worry about this as Win98 has a 4GB max filesize. Transferring as DV type 1 and then using the above mentioned utility to convert to type 2 solved the problem. Sure it took a bit longer to make the video usable for my editing app, but I wanted quality without a lot of hassle and this fixed the problem.

    I run into this problem when capturing VHS home movies with the DV passthrough. My original solution involved using VirtualDUB to resync the video and audio. But now I use avisynth with the TimeStretch funtion (since I do a lot of other filtering with avisynth also). It's pretty easy, you just need to determine the difference between the video and audio (which it VERY small).

    I use a this:
    TimeStretch(100-0.00333667000333667)

    It's works great.
