Thanks Bill. I gave MediaInfo app a try and the audio indicates it is 48k at 16 bits. Tried capturing the same clip again one day later and had no audio slip at all. Double-checked the recording deck and it is set to record audio at 48K 16 bits (only other choice is 32K at 12 bit). Guess I’m still mystified. We’ve moved almost totally to Canon 7D/Zoom shoots with no sync issues but I have this weekly videotape to deal with. Guess it’s time to look at another recording medium. Thanks again.

Using a brand new iMac (3.4GHz i7 processor) with 20GB RAM and I cannot get a reliably sync’ed capture using FCPX. Most of my tape captures are 45 minutes in length but audio sync goes out almost immediately in the capture. This problem is intermittent for me, sometimes there is sync, sometimes not. I’ve quit using FCPX for capture and paid $30 for Quicktime 7 Pro and I’m getting solid captures now. I’m capturing from miniDV tape with 48K 16 bit audio, same as my FCPX project settings. Seems many other are having this problem. Hopefully there will be a fix soon. Besides QT7 Pro, are there any other good capture utilities out there with decent VCR deck control for the Mac?

Check your fans to make sure they are all working. Likely suspect is the fan embedded in your power supply case. Is it turning up to speed when you are rendering (put your hand behind the case and make sure air is moving). Another sign is a hot electronic smell coming from your pc.

Popping and clicking audio is not caused by editing. It is most likely an issue with your audio card. Make sure your audio card driver is up to date. Or, try another audio card entirely. If you have motherboard audio, try an external card or vice versa.
