After having major audio/video out of sync problems with Version8 these are the work-around solutions that I found work for me.
WHEN CAPTURING ONLY ONE VIDEO
1. Capture your video either via video camera or other method (I don't have any problems with USB port capture).
2. Do all necessary editing and save the project.
3. After importing into Video Editor right click the thumbnail and check the video properties.
4. Make sure when creating the final video file that the audio frequency is the same as the original unedited file; i.e. 44100 KHz or 32000 KHz or 48000 KHz; etc. For some unknown reason Version8 doesn't like to convert the audio frequency and thus the out of sync problems.
WHEN CAPTURING MULTIPLE VIDEOS FOR ONE PROJECT
1. Capture your videos.
2. Do all editing.
3. Create an audio file of the entire edited project
4. Split the audio and video tracks and delete all audio from your edited project.
5. Insert the new audio file created in step three.
6. Create your video
Using the following settings I usually can get about 2 hours 15 minutes of high quality fast action video on a single-sided DVD
1. Lower field first
2. Frame size: 740 x 480
3. Compression quality 80% NTSC DVD
4. Video data rate: 8000 variable
5. Dolby Digital Audio 256 kbps
Advanced Compression Settings
6. Video GOP structure - I Frames: 6; P Frames: 3
7. Motion Vectors enabled - Horz pel: 12; Vert pel: 12
8. Enable half-pel search; Motion search:10; Noise sensitivity: 10
This has worked for me and hope it works for you
