I have a simple setup that is admittedly a few years old now: three PAL
cameras using
Mini DV, all several years old, no HD, PP2 to process. After filming I
capture the DV to
disk through firewire. All very straightforward and has worked fine for
years.
A while ago, one of the cameras started to act funny: after capturing
the DV onto the
hard disk through PP2, the audio was spotty. Every second or so there
was a gap -
literally, you could see it in the waveform. So I would just use another
camera for the
firewire download.
But now all the cameras have that problem. I was figuring I had a bunch
of broken
cameras, when I realized that inside the cameras, the audio did not have
this problem.
They would play back fine inside the cameras.
Gradually I came to the conclusion that the problem is not the cameras
but the firewire
transfer. Something seems to have "broken" there. It's certainly not a
problem of PP2
because I tried it with MovieMaker and a couple of other programs,
always with the same
results.
So I'm wondering what's going on. I guess the first question is: has
anybody encountered
this type of problem? I'm wondering if the firewire interface can
"degenerate". I also
tried it on two different disks, too, with no difference in results. The
problem seems
genuinely to be in the firewire transfer, and probably on the computer's
side.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
