<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Hi all,</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">The other night I captured a little
over 1 hr of footage off my brother-in-law's Sony Digital8 DCS-TRVXXX (can't
for the life of me remember what the model number is and no one is picking
up the phone at home to ask them) on my 17" PB to a 20GB external
bus-powered firewire drive. I filled it to about 200MB remaining. I believe
the tape is Hi-8 so it should be digital footage.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I began editing the captured footage
and noticed about 5-10 mins into it that the mouths seemed to be moving
a little out of sync from the audio. But it was too close to really tell.
A little while later I then discovered that as you go further and further
into the footage the audio became more and more out-of-synch - up to 2
or more seconds faster than the video right at the end.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I'm sure if I played the tape at the
end it would be in sync (not like the capture) - I'm yet to test this.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Any thoughts before I chuck my edit
so far and re-capture again?</font>

<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">ps. I took delivery of my DL LaCie drive
and plugged it in last night. When playing CD's on it, every one I tested
has a slight skipping sound in the audio. The DVD's I've authored play
fine... Supplier is looking into it for me. Murphy is looking over me!</font>
