Until recently I had been setting the video offset of my personal PT8/ICON system by eye and decided that 6 quarter frames seemed to look pretty good for Quicktime DV. I finally broke down and bought a Syncheck and checked it. It turns out the actual offset is slightly more than 5 quarter frames. Since 1/4 frame is such a negligible adjustment, I had a little buyer's remorse, thinking maybe I should have used the money to buy a new bicycle for my wife, but I decided that the peace of mind was worth it. We have too many bicycles anyway and I can hardly squeeze into the garage as it is.
