    How to digitize video tapes?

    I'm trying to digitize old video tapes I recorded years ago with an analog camera.
    I'm using a Pinacle PCTV card into which the video and audio signals from a video player/recorder device are fed. Running the PCTV Vision software allows the video tape contents to be watched and recorded on a file.
    The problem is the audio signal is out of phase with respect to the video signal by a few seconds (audio starts later). I think I posted this long ago but got no answer.

    You could use something like VirtualDub to split the audio and video signals and re-encode into a new video file...

    OK I'll try out your suggestion, thanks.
