In the capture settings is a parameter for selecting SMPTE timecode  
instead of DV time or run time.
My experience is that if there is real timecode it shows right up in  
the little time windows at the top of the preview window. ( even if   
you didn't set for it)
If not , not.
At which point more crude solutions of noises ( out I know) and  
actions have to be carefully looked at to synch it. put each clip on  
a video tyrack and find the same thing on both. slide one around till  
it works. I know it's not what you want to hear. Sorry
