Yes – check the tracks first to make sure you aren’t hearing the camera mic mixed in with your other mic.
EQ will help a bit – provided the noise is NOT at the same frequency as the sound you want to keep.
If you have Soundbooth, you can use that to sample the background noise and then try to eliminate it – it works pretty good sometimes.

The key frames are going on FIELDS, rather than frames, is my bet.

Do you mean the final tape is 6 seconds out of sync? Or just that as it goes to tape the audio you are hearing is out of sync with the video you are seeing? If the latter, then you may be hearing the audio passing though the deck but seeing the video on the computer and those will be out of sync. If the tape is actually out of sync – then that’s a real problem – shouldn’t be possible using firewire.

Your work around is the solution.
I had a problem with Instant HD footage crashing when exporting to anything. But it would render in the timeline and then that would export as AVI. My guess is that there are incompatibilities between the codec you are exporting to and some effect you have applied to the video, because the footage is being re-rendered (whereas the avi export seems to just copy the rendered footage to a new file.) This seems to no longer be the case CS4 – where even an AVI output re-renders the effects rather than using the rendered files – but I am only guessing.

Totally weird. Never seen that!

If you put the AE generated AVI on your DV PPro timeline, does it show that it’s un-rendered (red line?) If yes then the AE export settings are wrong.
Generally, if you are creating overlay titles, don’t use any compression (QT Animation or None with Alpha)’ but if it’s a full screen piece of video, then the AVI export should work. Just got be sure you’ve got the right settings in AE.

You could try to re-install windows and not include all the extra software that seems to be pre-loaded on laptops. I could not upgrade to CS4 on one system and could on a another – reinstalling windows allowed the upgrade to be installed – so it wasn’t the hardware so much as some driver or dll that was the culprit.
The fix of last resort – I know.

Yes – I love the media encoder – being able to send 10 renders to the encoder and go to bed is great thing. (Staying up all night to get the renders out in time – a thing of the past!)
Overall – I like CS4 better then CS3. Still a bit quirky, but so far (1 month) CS4 has crashed MUCH less than CS3.

Uncompressed Microsoft AVI?
But also – you should use the AME to export to DVD Mpreg-2 file. It works really well.

If you think it’s the cable – try a new one – they do go bad. THe Ports go bad too. The camera should work.
