Answer
Most DSLRs that record video have a jack to allow for mic input too.

Or you can use a separate audio recorder like they have done for more than 100 years in the film world.

The key is to have something that is instantaneous, visual, AND audible. The classic tool for this is the movie slate board (or clapper), there is a $25 ipod app for this, or go analog with one like this...http://ticklespop.com/holmovfildir.html

Or simply clap your hands together in a deliberate fashion.

The slate gives a visual mark on the video, and an audible mark on the audio recorder. Then you just simply alight the audio track to the video track with editing software.
