Audio File sync to film footage
We have some audio files captured on flash cards using the new tascam HD-P2 unit. The audio files drift almost immediately relative to the picture, and i assume they need to be sampled down from 48kHz to 47.952kHz. It appears there is no provision in final cut for doing this, or i have not found it just yet. We are running the latest version 5 of FCP. Any thoughts on batch converting these files without audio artifacts so they can be useful to our process inside FCP. If we can do this conversion it will save us the painful hours of realtime capture of the audio from DAT clocked to house video sync.
Thanks for the help

I think you can render a quicktime of the audio and set the 47.952kHz rate manually. How long does it take for the audio to drift out of sync? The difference between 48kHz and 47.952kHz is a frame per minute. If it is drifting faster than that then the problem is elsewhere. The pitch difference is not noticable between the two rates.
