I have edited a video for a friend of mine. It's a kind of parody where I have put a video of a famous band together with music he has composed and recorded. It has been edited so that the lip movement is in sync etc. etc. So it's basically music to picture in sync.

When we started making this video we only had access to the footage on a rather low quality vhs tape. The source material was saved as avi dv to work with it in Vegas.

Now we have finally got our hands on a dvd with the same footage, which of course is of much better quality.

Now what I want to do is to replace the footage with the one from the dvd. Easy enough I think. Just save the new footage with the same filename as the original footage (backup first off course) and open the Vegas project. It should work fine, at least I think so.

The question is, what is the best way to get it in sync again? I think it should work out fine if my new source material starts at the exact same time as the original footage. How would you do that?

I have yet to find software that will convert the dvd to dv avi (it's about four minutes of aciton a little bit out in the dvd), but I'm sure I will find a way to do that.
