Hi,
When printing to tape a seemingly good rendered avi (plays perfectly on computer using Media Player), the first 2.5 min (approx) of audio are not being recorded (or are not loud enough to hear). As I said, the sound is great when played through Media Player but on tape...no joy.
One clue, I originally had a 6 minute project which, when rendered and printed to tape, sounded great throughout. I then decided to add a short intro to the clip. The project is of the birth of my daughter and I decided to preface it with a little intro "speech". Since I added this "speech" clip to the front of the previously okay project, all the audio from the new clip and about 15 secs at the beginning of the original project just aren't there or at least aren't audible.
The "speech" audio is quieter. Could it be that there is a gain threshold in my Sony PC 100 camera that has to be met before audio is recorded? In the original project I have mellow music that fades in and the "speech" audio is kinda quiet (but still audible when it's individual source-clip is played).
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
p.s. I am printing to a Sony PC100 DV camera. AVI renders look and sound great when played on the computer so I'm assuming that the editting package is irrelevant in this case. (For what it's worth, the project was rendered using the Sony DV codec and I am printing to tape using SonicFoundry VidCap 2.5. I cannot use DVGate Motion to print-to-tape as DVGate does not recognize the .avi file.)
