If there's an audio input on your camera, you could have external mics/mixers etc leading to the audio input jack, which would record the sound from the external sources directly on to tape/i.e at the same time as the visual.
If you don't, it's harder - you need to record the audio separately, then on the computer match up the audio/video. The easiest way to do this is to clap in front of the camera (so the camera can see you) - you can then match up the hand clap visual, with the audio - as it's a handclap, it'll produce a very obvious spike in the audio waveform.
There's potential added complicated with sampling rates I think, but as I tend to write in FAQ's - 'That is beyond the scope of this document.' |

I take the video using a Digital camera and get the recorded audio onto my laptop. So I have the video and audio on my Computer as separate files. Import them into movie maker drag them onto the time line then wiggle them about until they match http://www.livevideo.com/video/pctinkerer100/A3EE816D7E144A0FAA33BE9C091B56F6/sync-your-audio-in-movie-maker.aspx. You can mute the poor audio in the video file.
Hope that's what your after. 
What he said - just do them separately and record the video playing along the studio recorded audio - I've done it a few times years ago - very dodgy mind, but you get the idea and means you have good audio quality over the top

Also, you can add affects then. In another band years ago, We built a big bonfire, played the song in double time then the guitarist played in front of the fire, when slowed down to normal speed, the fire burned really slowly in the background - sounds cheesy, but it looked really cool!
EDIT: In addition, you can record each band member playing seperately then chop and change between them at different parts of the song. |

Hmm my method was a bit involved but...
Basically, I converted the camcorder footage to MOV format (you can find any number of AV format converters via Google). Then I imported it into Reaper to sync to the seperate audio track. I then rendered the audio track to the exact length of the video clip. Then used a video editor package (MovieMaker will do) and just dropped in the new audio track. Then all I had to do was trim the result to the desired section of the footage and export to AVI. |

| This is why the movie industry uses those clapper-boards. Well, 2 purposes, to sync audio and video and to identify the particular shot. So the hand-clap is the simple version of that. I'd recommend putting your Zoom on 48kHz sampling. It will sync better than 44.1 (just because it is a nice integer multiple of most frame rates). The clock on the zoom and your camera should be pretty good, you won't have any sync slip even over and hour or two of time. Visually align the 2 audio recording spikes in your editing software and then mute the camera audio. Or align the Zoom audio with the visual frame where the hands come together. The latter may be better as, often, cameras' audo to frame sync isn't that tight. |
