pinnacle bungee trouble and advice

[frstr8td]

for anyone even considering the pinnacle bungee a word of caution

this thing can NOT generate DVD's

There are 2 problems

1) The DVD standard calls for either linear PCM audio at 48KHz
or MPEG layer 2 encoded audio at 48 KZ

The bungee can NOT create 48KHz audio . only 44.1

2) DVD has split program streams.

Bungee generates only a multiplexed file. demuxing that file takes terribly long and you end up with incompatible MPEg streams.


in other words. it doesn't work

other problems

- the supplied software cannot drive an HP200i in DVD+R mode either.
- it can only fit 3.57 gig on a DVD ( while the dvd can hold 4.7 )

frstr8td,

record a short 10-15 secons file.
use the bungee TRex program to convert it to DV-AVI.

This sets the audio conversion to 48kHz.

Restart the PC.

Open Bungee, open the gallery, right-click and save any of the files to another file, the saved file will have it's audio converted to 48kHz.
