Hi-
Thanks for your responsese. The problem is not exactly as I described it some time ago. I have since realized that it is not a 20 minute or more problem, it was just that the only successful projects I had exported happened to be under 20 minutes. I have since exported longer programs sucessfully. What I think is going on is that somehow there are audio errors occurring either on import or when the footage is being recorded, though I don’t know how since the raw stuff always sounds fine as do the clips in the bins and timelines.
I have had this problem with analog audio as well I beleive- for a long time I did what you said you do and only took the video in as DV and took the audio in through the RCA inputs, so I am not sure redigitizing as analog will help, which also may indicate that the problem is on the tapes themselves.
One of my other thoughts would be that it has something to do with taping on a DV tape that has been used before. I do get an error message on the export process- I beleive all it says is Unspecified Audio error.

Hi-
Danielle, Public Access Coordinator from GCTV here. As he mentioned earlier, Bob is our Cable Committee Chairman and has been helping me to try to answer this export issue that’s been ongoing for years.
To answer your questions, we do use 48 hz as our sample rate and no, the file is not one that we reuse or carry over from project to project. The original footage was taped on a brand new mini dv tape and imported in the usual manner. I have not tried exporting things out in 15 minute segments- I’ll give that a shot and see what happens. It is possible this audio file is damaged somehow, but I have seen this on countless programs we’ve tried to export. In fact after this particualr 27 minute program did not work, I exported a 14 1/2 minute program perfectly fine with great audio. I do 30 second and minute opens and 2 or 3 minute PSA’s all the time without issue. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to the problem other than if the program itself is longer than 20 or so minutes, the audio will not export cleanly. Strange. Thanks for the input.
