imovie 3 and Formac Studio

[Len McGrandle]

I have been unable to capture both audio and video successfully with my 
Formac Studio and imovie 3.  The audio is a totally garbled sputtering 
noise while the video is fine, no jerking.  Playback of previously 
recorded projects from imovie 2 work. but some of them have some 
background static not evident with imovie 2.  I am running imovie 2 and 
3 from the same hard drive, with imovie 2 moved to a different folder, 
all in OS 10.2.3.  I have tried many different sound settings, all with 
the same effect.

I tried the alternative of importing a file into imovie 3 saved from 
the software video player which comes with the Formac.  The sound is 
fine, but the picture is jerky.  I exported the file to full quality 
non-compressed quicktime and the jerking is still there.  The data rate 
is not too much for my G4 500 AGP, so I do not believe my processor is 
too slow.

imovie 2 did not give me any problems like this, so I guess I will just 
not use 3.
