I tried copying a poor quality VHS tape with Pinnacle Studio 8
capturing it as an AVI. The sound got horribly out of sync within a
few minutes.

I loaded my new copy of ULead Ver7 and it copied the whole tape and
keep all the audio in sync. Then My DVDit burned that file to DVD,
which also works just fine.

ALthough I like the PinStud8 interface better I guess I'm giving up on
it and switching. I'm sick of all the little things that don't go
right with it.
