We have recorded 40 odd tracks of live performances on several Digital
Video cameras and the audio parts on a Fostex 24 track digital
recorder bridged to a Mackie. These tracks have been saved to disk via
a Mackie setup as .wav files. I am having problems syncronising them
after importing them into Logic Pro 6.4.1. I can not find a timestamp
utility and am at a loss what to do.

I'm not aware of such a utility, though it seems like it would be
reasonable for someone to write a utility that puts the Broadcast Wave
time stamped header on a file, with the time that you choose. However,
even if you had such a utility, what would you do with it? How would
you know what time to put on the beginning of each of the files? If
they were made on different, unsynchronized recorders, they were
almost certainly all started at different times and were most likely
running at different speeds (though this isn't a really big problem
when using digital recorders all around since crystal clocks are
pretty accurate). No, there's no east way out of this hole you've dug
for yourself.

I want to import the audio first
into FInal Cut Pro (after mixing it in Logic Pro) and then set the
time code of the Video tracks to be syncronised with the Audio to be
able to overlay and edit from the various Cameras and also from Video
footage of the same show recorded at different venues

The way to do this is to manually (with your eyes and ears) "spot" the
audio file to the video, and if necessary with long segments (because
the audio and video recorders weren't synchronized), edit the video to
coincide with the audio.

The real answer is to do it right, with all the recorders synchronized
to the same time code source.
