How to get separate video and audio clips together

[SW]

Hi,

I have an mpg file and a wma file. The mpg video unfortunately has no sound.
The wma file has the sound that should have been recorded into the mpg
video, but was recorded separately. Its a movie of people talking, singing,
etc, and so I need to get the sound absolutely in sync with the video. Which
is the easiest and most efficient way to do this using MM6.0 in Vista?

So far I've discovered I can use the mouse to slide the audio track in the
timeline to different places. I can also use Ctrl+Shift+B or N to nudge the
clip backwards and forwards. But its a long process. Is trial and error the
only way?!
I have to move the video forwards to a scene where someone is talking to
camera. I discover the sound is ahead of the picture. So I stop the video,
drag the clip, or use Ctrl+Shift+B, then move forward to the scene again
because it puts me back to the beginning. I then discover that the sound is
still ahead. I think I'll be here forever! Is there a better way?

Thanks,
SW

sound and video recorded by different machines can have different frequency
rates etc and this means they keep running out of sync.
Start by converting the mpeg to wmv, as mpegs are terrible to edit.
It may then have sound, as mpeg often import without sound.
If that doesn't help, see this
