anyone ever tried this? some guy sent me a bunch of videos he took on what he says was a 'Canon point-and-shoot'. the video quality is decent and is the only video i know of from the show (which is why i'm bothering) but the audio is absolutely horrible/unlistenable. i was at the show rolling audio so i thought i'd splice in my good audio real quick in Vegas for him and send the videos back. i didn't think it would be hard, but i'm having major trouble with it.
previously i've only ever sync'ed audio into my videos, which are all MiniDV sourced. that's always been easy -- line up the beginning, jump to the end, stretch the audio to be in sync at the end, done. maybe tweak a little from there, but it usually only takes a few minutes. however, that process isn't working with these videos from his digital camera. i line it up at the beginning and stretch to be in sync at the end, but then it's out of sync at the beginning again. it does this every time. no matter whether i try moving the video in either direction along the timeline, or stretching the external audio in either direction, it is always out of sync at either the beginning or end. i cannot get the whole thing in sync. and he only shot some select songs, so we're just talking one song at a time, not even the full show. i have never had anywhere near this much trouble working with MiniDV video.
any thoughts? is there something about the nature of the way digital cameras record video that is significantly different from how camcorders do? like their internal clocks don't have a constant speed or something? i'm pretty much stumped at this point.
