Syncing Audio & Video

[brighambartol]

I record songs on Youtube, and I've started using Audacity to record the audio, since the audio quality from my cheap digital camera just isn't very good. Here's the video in question:

What I did for this video is record me playing the part on video, while also recording the audio on Audacity. Then when I edited the video together I just muted the audio on the video and pulled in the audio from the audcity project over the video. The problem is that the sound is a little out of sync. Is there a better way to do this, without having expensive video recording equiptment? I believe there are ways to record audio through the amp and record the video at the same time, but I don't think I can do this with just a cheap video camera and Windows Movie Maker (btw, WMM sucks). Any help appreciated... on another note, you can give me feedback on the song too, if you'd like! thanks

I use Nero (CD/DVD burning software) which includes a video editor (in the full version) that is pretty easy to use and does quite a reasonable job. It's not free, but it's relatively inexpensive. It allows you to import an audio track and one or more video tracks. You can then edit the video tracks and drag them around so that they synchronise with the imported sound track. Most of your video is not too badly synchronised, though YouTube will often make synchronisation look worse than it really is.
