For two cameras without SMPTE Timecode generation synchronizing audio and video can be particularly difficult. Even if you get a *clap* sound in sync at the beginning of two scenes from two different cameras they will likely drift out of sync within a minute.
There is a standalone program "dualeyes" or plugin "pluraleyes" that may produce decent results, but I personally need to investigate further to see if the file formats they support are conducive to a Lossless / Uncompressed workflow and also need to consider how effective they are in general from reviews, etc.
There's also this "lockitbuddy" solution : http://www.lockitbuddy.com/website/index.html
("I know several people who have and really loved the results. It basically records timecode to one of your audio channels, then can be converted to a signal with processing software. It works with basically any DSLR. Something like this, for people who need frame-accurate sync controls, is still a great option. And if that is the case, there's a good chance you're doing dual-system sound anyways...")
Another solution are devices like from this quote :
("Horita makes a cheap timecode generator which can feed timecode signal to the mic in on DSLRs, only Avid and Final Cut Pro can read this auido TC...")

I am also wondering about anyone's input on the topic from this forum? I've only attempted to manually, by hand, synchronize audio and video from two different cameras using the *clap* method, but it has usually been noticeably out of synch.
