Hi Kirsty
I seem to have found a compromise by trusting what I hear on the headphones. I push the level till it peaks in the red. If it does peak now and then I’m ok, but I don’t let it stay in the red. I don’t feel comfortable doing that. And anything I record is boostable. I’ve had no problems with distorted audio either.

Lots of luck. Not sure where you’re going in Africa – I’m in South Africa.

Thanks, Scott

I was working with a cameraman last week and we were discussing this and now my levels seem higher, so I’ve no clue if he adjusted something in my menu settings and I’m waiting for him to get back to me. I even tried just leaving it on auto (never again – sound distorted).

Wow, thank you! I was running Carbon Copy on my old Mac. Will go back to this.

Yes, I am backing up on Time Machine so you’re right – no need to really be concerned. But am not going to bother unless someone has tried it and it works.

Thanks so much. It\’s exactly why the risk isn\’t worth it unless some brave soul has tried it out. Glad I\’m not just being paranoid. Will see if anyone responds. These update reminders always make me feel as if I might be missing out and then I land up regretting hitting that \”yes\” button.

Hi Chris – the problem is which Codec to use out of all of them and I can’t make WMV on my Mac. Well, not with anything I’ve got

Hi, thanks very much. I will try the photo Jpeg option. I’m in South Africa, he’s in Holland, so maybe DV PAL will work too. I don’t know why he’s so stuck on it – he can read my Quicktimes without a problem, but he basically made me sign a contract saying I’d provide AVI’s, which I really thought weren’t going to be a problem. He then needs to make copies that’ll go out on many PCs, so he wants what is compatible and best quality. Last time, after researching it and realising I had these dud AVIs out of Mepg Streamclip, I gave him MPEG2 which I got a post facility to make for me, and they worked fine, but this whole issue of promising AVIs I can’t deliver is going to keep coming back.

Thanks so much – it’s so appreciated. It worked and I used an xlr – mini cable so that explains it.
