audio/video out of sync - vegas 6.0

Hi all

When playing back in vegas, the audio and video are slightly out of sync. I've checked the main file and it plays fine outside vegas.

Is there a fix to this?

Thanks in advance

Ray

Is it DV? How did you capture it?

You should use firewire to transfer to pc. Did you use usb instead?

it's a sony handycam HC46. captured to tape, then USB streamed to PC in 10 min segments.

You MUST use a firewire cable to capture your video. Your sync issues will be gone instantly. It's a $9 investment.

ok thanks. back the the drawing board!

can you recommend a specific firewire?

Any brand will do. Just make sure you count the pins (there are 4 or 6 pins), and make sure your pc has firewire port. If not, you'll have to buy a firewire card.
