DV in Audio Problem

[Jeff Perkins]

I just purchased a Firewire Card. I was successful in transfering the video to my hard drive using Ulead MediaPro 6.5. I used the standard settings for DV-in 720x480 48KBps etc. When I play the avi on my computer the audio is garbled like the sampling rate isn't set right. When I click on the video properties, the audio is 32Kbps not 48Kbps. What am I doing wrong? Is there a setting in Ulead? or a setting in my Sony TRV740.

Most likely, it's in the camcorder.

...but then, the video/audio is already recorded. I'm not sure if you can still change that from 32KHz to 48KHz. What I'm saying is, you may be too late for this specific footage, but you can make the changes for your next.

From what I understand, Dv audio is recorded by the cam at 48Khz (check your manual). So when you transfer the footage to your cpu, you need to make sure that the sample rate of you 'capture' prog matches that of your footage. Double check the properties of your capture set up in Ulead.

My DVcam is a couple of years old and it only records audio at 32KHz. It can play 48KHz... Anyway, it is dependent on the camcorder (maybe you can switch it).

After transferring the DV you can split it out and resample it to 48KHz for use in DVD (or 44.1KHz for VCD).

I can set my camcorder to either 32kHz or 48kHz. Unfortunately, I had it set for 32kHz for the first few tapes. When I set Ulead template for 32Khz format, the capture still has the audio messed up. But after all the rendering I can get an avi file that works correctly, just not the original one captured with Ulead. I tried AVIO and the captured avi file works perfectly the first time. I used Tempeng to convert to MPEG2 with 48kHz audio and it burns to a DVD with no problems.

I would like to use the Ulead Video Studio 5.0 software because it can automatically spit the scenes and has more capturing features than the DVIO. Maybe I am setting something up wrong in the software. Has anyone used a Sony Camcorder and Ulead software together?
