120 FPS

Codec: H264 (NVIDIA® NVENC)

Quality: 100

Premier Elements is a video editor designed around cameras that shoot in a constant frame rate.  Video capture devices and software seem to use variable frame rates.  I don't know why, but it will cause sync problems.  

To fix it, you can run your captured video through something like Handbrake and convert the variable frame rate to a fixed frame rate.  Others have done this and been successful.

I don't know which of the half dozen "affordable" video editors are ideal for captured, variable frame rate footage.  If you find one, I would be interested to know.

Bill is absolutely right. FRAPS and other software used to record videos on your computer nearly always produce video with a variable frame rate -- which results in out of sync issues when you load it into a video editor.
