Oh how I feel your pain! Good luck with it -- when I was asking about FPS I meant was crystal synched so it will be easier to synch with your recording. I've found Deshaker 3 in Virtualdub really good - it was only on version 1 when I first did In My Image
Heh, I used a couple of ordinary, consumer grade cameras. Yeah, the sync is bad and that's part of the problem, especially since the location audio is incomplete (and there's music performed on-cam). I think the cameras ran somewhere between 20 & 21 fps. My original attempts at stabilization came from After Effects, which didn't work very well. I'm using Deshaker now and the results are quite good.
The only thing stopping me from an HD transfer is the cost - but I think it's better to hold off for that.....

If you're feeling brave, you could do an off-line edit from your DV transfer, then conform the camera film to match and transfer that.
