ok,
what I do is load up the vids into the editing software,
and arrange them,
then export a sound file of the camera audio.

Then I load that sound file into Audition (or multi-track editor of choice)
and make a matching hi-res sound file for the whole length of the film.
Digital recorders seem to keep very accurate time, so once I find
a sync point everything seems to match up well enough.
Hardest bit is looking at the distorted waveform from the camera audio
and trying to match it to the desk recording.
For fine tuning the alignment, I match vols and hard pan camera audio
and desk audio left and right respectively.
