I just captured a 40-minute tape (as all one big chunk of video) off my XL2 and was surprised to find the audio was wayyyyyy off. Sometimes on a really long tape it's off by a few seconds or up to a minute or so... but this time it was off by about 7.5 minutes... the audio starts about where it should - as far as I can tell.. but when I watch the video track, the last 7.5 minutes are black as the audio track continues with audio that should've been playing during the video track.
After two hours of tinkering, I couldn't manually sync the sound (no slate or loud noises - just a lot of dialogue).
I shot in 24PA and captured with the 24PA pulldown removal... (i notice when I do this... clip/timeline/etc settings still say 29.97 fps... shoudn't it be 23.97 fps? or 24?) Is this part of the problem?
I have quite a bit of footage like this that I'll be capturing in the future and I want to make sure I understand the problems here so I can get everything right later on...
