Audio drop out when rendering back to DV cam (only) |
|
|
Having completed movie, when sending back to DV camera (via firewire) audio
occasionally drops out (goes silent) for a fraction of a second. Particularly
noticable if using an over dubbed music audio track and often the drop out is
the overlay track not the audio with the video, thus I assume the Camera is
responding OK. (No problems when saving to other file format eg video CD).
Does not seem to be related to how hard the PC is working, ie lots of
transitions cross fades or few and having checked processor use, seems like
it never gets above 47% use during render. Also does not always happen in the
same place every time but more often than not; on occasion it does not drop
out but buzzes like a hung stopped note for a fraction of a sec Tends to
happen two or three times within the first minute then is OK for the rest of
the movie.
(Not running fat 32 and have turned off quite a lot of background running
progs eg internet firewall Spybot etc.)
PC spec is 2.6 Althlon, 1G of RAM, 200G HD useable, movie lengths around 8
mins!
Cheers for any insight!

You're experiencing dropped frames... the hard drive condition and speed is
the limiting factor in the transfer... free space, defrag, stop using other
apps during the transfer... anything to tune up and free up the drive
and the WinDV utility uses a bigger buffer than Movie Maker... give it a
try. There's a link on my Setup > Other Software page.
