16Bit audio not captured in Premiere 6

[dav]

I have a Samsung VP-D55 DV camcorder and can record the audio stream with 12-Bit(+4-Bit spare for overlaying an audio track onto the camcorder) or 16-Bit audio.

I have spent a good 6 months or so reading the forum, trying various combinations of conversion techniques before I was happy with the quality of output I coule repeatedly reproduce. I capture with Premiere, framserve withAVISynth toTMPGEnc, before burning with NERO. It works a treat.

However, some of my earlie recordings were taken with the 16-Bit audio mode and when these clips are captured I get no sound. No sound during the recording preview either. The clip certainly has an audio track, I can hear it on the camcorder during playback. All clips taken with 12-Bit audio are fine.

I now know to use 12-Bit when recording, but is ther any way of recovering the audio from my older clips, now that I can actually archive them?

Sorry for rambling on

Not reallyu a solution, but try capping 12bit audio, then seperating this out and resampling it to 16bit. Then add that back in.
