I am using WinDV and a Sony GD-200 to transfer my Hi8, Digital 8, and VHS tapes to AVI. I thought the transfers were going fine until I watched one all the way through. That's when I noticed the audio and video drifting more and more out of sync as more time elapsed. I have WinDV set to Type 2 capture, and Threshold set to 0. Help!

hard to say. maybe you have a 12bit/16bit audio problem? DV can have either 12 or 16 bit audio.

I have my GD-200 set to 12 bit audio. I'll try switching the GD-200 to 16 bit and see what happens. Does this happen when the bit rate is mismatched between the source tape and the playback unit audio setting?

If you are going to have to re-do some of the transfers, I highly recommend that you use Scenalyzer instead of WinDV:
http://www.scenalyzer.com/
It used to be a paid program, but Andi let it become freeware when the DV market dried up. It has some options that I think may cure the problem. If I remember correctly it happened because some apps assumed 30 fps instead of 29.97 for NTSC video.
[edit] The Scenalyzer menu setting is "Keep DV audio in sync." -

I spent a little time looking over the options in Scenalyzer to make sure I hadn't overlooked anything, and also set the checkbox to "Keep DV audio in sync". Worked a treat! Thanks everybody!

Back when all home digital video was DV on tape, Scenalyzer was a game changer. Andi put so many cool features in it, like the ability to turn off the capture after a certain time, or the ability to scan a tape in FF speed in just a few minutes, and then use the thumbnails from that to decide which portions of the tape to capture.
I could go on. I was (and still am) a major fan.
