why does my audio capture at 48.0001K?
I’ve noticed that sometimes my audio captures, not at 48k, but at 48.0001K or 48.0002K or the like. Of course, then I have to render it in the timeline, and it’s a bit of a pain.
Anyone know why the computer seems to be having problems capturing just regular 48k like it’s supposed to? What’s with the .0001? How can I make it stop?
Thanks everyone,

We see this with certain cameras like the lower end Canons, Eluras and such.

This is my standard sigfile so do not take it personally: “For crying out loud, read the freakin’ manual.”

Probably because the camera does not employ locked audio. Most consumer and some prosumer cameras do this. They record with unlock audio [aka minute fluctuating samples per frame]

Odd. I’m not using a camera at all, but rather recording fotoage via S-video straight to a Sony DSR-11. Though I’m using a Sony clamshell to import the fotoage, not the DSR-11.

Yep, that’s odd, but you’re still using a different playback system than the one on which you recorded.
I was generalizing, that’s usually the problem but now that you’ve provided more information, could be anything, including stretched tape, I suppose.

i think it could also happen if you “Capture Now” rather than log and capture.

Well, thanks everyone for the responses, but…
1) I NEVER use capture now.
2) The tape was recorded with a DSR-11. Not a camera.
3) This has happened with a dozen 60 minute tapes in a row, over several brands of mini-dv tape, and two different DSR-11s.I’m totally stumped. Next time I’m going to try recording in DVCam mode instead of regular dv.
