The video and audio is out of sync capturing VHS tapes using a Dazzle Video 80 capture device.

The Dazzle Video 80 device is a USB external device with an S-Video & Composite Video (RCA), and Stereo RCA Audio inputs.

I downloaded the Dazzle USB driver and am using the Power Director 8 video capture.

Any suggestions on what to adjust to fix this?

Depending on version of Windows you can try just having Windows import it or another program and see if it has the same issue. Reading help on the Dazzle site might help. Could be a codecs issue or performance of your machine. Capture video to different drive then OS, defrag drive, close everything else including virus software and Instant Messaging and try again.

Other option is to Right click on the Video and click on Split the Audio. It will make the audio another track and you can then shift it left or right as needed to sync it up. Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit

Is the audio out of sync with not editing or after you have added transitions or effects. One of them may be causing them. There is some good advise on this thread: http://forum.cyberlink.com/forum/posts/list/13593.page
