Bug Report Progressive Game Audio Desync

I'm not the best at explaining so if i miss any major information please let me know
I record/stream console games (wii) with this capture card (elgato but some old one) http://www.elgato.com/en/video/video-capture
This is not that fancy HD elagto or whatever so if the only to fix my problem is by getting another capture card could you please suggest one that will work as I don't want to just buy one willy nilly
The problem is that the game audio slowly desyncs with the game video, It happens over a long period of time, for example after 4 hours there is about a 2-3 second delay which is very annoying because my recording are all that long (some 3:50 some 8 hours) so if i did an 8 hour recording/stream by the end there would be a 10 second delay i guess :/ the only way I can think of fixing this is to restart the stream/recording but i want to have a whole video and it just isn't a permanent fix
I do have 'use buffering (0)' checked and also 'force desktop audio to use video timestamps as a base for audio time' checked as well but the problem still persists
I'm not sure if this matters but i have did self build my PC however i did go install codec which i assume i got from Microsoft but i can't remember that far back
Again if this can only be fixed by buying a new capture card what do you suggest as i need/want to recorded my PAL/NTSC wii and soon to get a NTSC N64

aha no I haven't, I have been using 0.592b
I'll give it a shot tomorrow and get back with the result because 'testing' it takes 4 hours
Thanks I did not know about these
Also looking at this it is nice that You can recording locally no matter if i DC so i do hope this works

okay some good and bad news, i couldn't fully test it as my audio dropped out at 3 hours 47 minutes for whatever reason now i am not sure if that is the program or me restarting the game but i highly doubt it is me restarting but on the bright side up until then, latest i could check was 3:20 the audio was completely in sync however i'm not sure if it ever was a problem at that time
Will test again tomorrow with hopefully no audio dropping off

Just tried to post the log but cannot, just leads me to a dead webpage with both preview and submit.
This is most likely because it is a huge long log which is mainly just a repeatition of this over and over with changes in the number
Example:

Here is a dropbox link with the log if you want but if there is a better way to show you please let me know but it is just so big because of all that stuff in the screenie https://www.dropbox.com/sh/y9ch3p8un9mlg97/M27cmo99qj

Please note I wasn't using my Mic and did have it disabled and did have the 'use buffering = 0' and 'force desktop audio to use video timestamps as a base for audio time' checked like before

I would absolutely have to see a log file. Just paste the contents of it on to the forum.

EDIT: I'm an idiot, you did post it to a dropbox. My apologies
