Audio video sync is the biggest problem with analogue capture as both the
sound card and video cards e used and sample the data at different rates.
The best way to get around this is to buy a decent analogue/digital
convertor. Canopus and Miglia both make ones with chips which are designed
to keep the signals in sync. Cheaper versions like dazzle can often have the
same problem as you do.
Check out

for more info on these models.
When using these you will connect to the pc using firewire, which will allow
you then to pick the app you want to use, MM or whatever and will capture as
a dv-avi file.
