iMovie3 has all the same export options as iMovie2 - the catch is that 
you have to set them yourself. Do "export" and pick the "expert 
settings" option.

iMovie3 + Quicktime 6.1 fixes the long-standing problem with audio 
drift in iMovie2 (becomes noticeable at about 13-15 minutes into a 
clip).

I haven't seen any synch problems on exported movies (and I've done 
some over a half-hour long). If you can give some details on what 
you're doing, somebody might be able to help.
