Reuniting audio and video

I gave up on capturing video with VF (it would never recognize my DV camera, while all the other software I have, did) and have been capturing with Movie Maker 2 and Movie Factory.

MM2 is great for capture from a recorded DV tape, but isn't usable with my (Sharp) camcorder in its VCR (pass-through) mode, i.e., when using it as a converter to send analogue stuff to the firewire card.

MF is very good at what it does, but what it does is record video and audio as separate video (*.avi) and audio (*.wav) files. Does anyone know how to use MF so it doesn't do this, or re-unite the files in VF (other than by crudely trying to line up the audio and video on the timeline)?

I'm not familiar at all with Movie Factory 2 and only vaguely familiar with Movie Maker 2 (I have 98SE).

However, if you can't make Movie Factory work, I would suggest you use VirtualDub (http://www.virtualdub.org) to combine video and audio. VirtualDub is free and can losslessly combine audio and video (using direct stream copy).
