  • Sound with 48khz, no sound with 44.1

    Posted by Eric Snyder on November 17, 2010 at 2:36 am

    Hi,

    I uploaded mini-DV tapes from a Canon GL2. Video files with 48-khz audio can be heard, but not video files with 44.1-khz audio.

    I thought that by upconverting 44.1 to 48 this would solve the problem. It didn’t.

    Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you!
    Eric

    Dv can only record 2 channel 48khz or four channel 32 khz. I have never heard of 44.1khz on a Dv camera so perhaps you are confused about the 4 chan 32khz option.

    Also as you have found, strange thread titles often get ignored. It is also important not to impatiently double post as well.

    My apologies for the double post. I suddenly lost power in the process of the first posting and wasn’t sure if it actually posted.

    Some digitized files (from mini-DV) that I have show 44.1 khz in the inspector. After hours of searching online for a solution I finally found an unexpected one: use iMovie. iMovie can identify tapes with time code problems that Final Cut cannot, as well as handle the audio format 44.1 so that it plays back. And, for reasons I still don’t understand, it automatically formats these files for 48 khz.

    I still don’t know why these digital files show audio sampling at 44.1, but technically now I don’t need to know since I found a solution.

    Thanks for your help anyway, Michael.
