Hello! I found the ultimate answer in sync video and audio with semipro gear. I use a lanc controllable vcr or camera (with dv in enabled / or a dhr 1000) and a harddisc-recording system, which is equipped with a sync-system, consisting of a TripleDat card (optical/coaxial digital in/out, and analog in/out) and another card with video-input (only for video-sync-pulses-in) and lanc-in/out. That sounds very complicated, but is very easy to use, after installation. So you will need: a lanc controllable vcr pc equipped with TripleDat-card and lanc/videosync-card and sound- software (all three things are from AX-SYSTEMS, a little company in germany) maybe a DAT-RECORDER if you use the digital I/O of triple-dat AX-SYSTEM costs about 3700 deutsch marks. For any questions, e-mail me.(posted 9058 days ago)Roland
