Dennis,

You need to give us more info. What do you mean "Final Cut won't let you"? You have no deck control at all? Or it starts to capture and quits? What?

I see them regularly going for over $100 now, and a brand new Olympus with warranty isn't much more than that.

I like the iRivers, too, but I think their time is coming to a close.

Tell me about it. I thought about picking up another one, but they are going for crazy prices now. Two or three times what I paid a year or two ago. It's nuts.

More mics are better, but you might have limitations of budget, time to setup, or reluctance of someone to wear one.

If you only have one, mic the groom. Hopefully with some work in...

Your preparation saved the day, and makes me worry about the same thing. I wouldn't get off nearly as lightly as you.

Yeah, I called them today and they said they sent the wrong machine. Had the wrong amount of ram, too. Return shipping is paid for and I'm having it replaced.
