Missing Audio Frames on CF Card at DVinfo.net

Phil Burton · June 9th, 2009, 01:48 PM

Having downloaded HD clips I notice about 5 frames of audio are missing at the end of each clip, video is there but no audio. Not really a big deal but wondered if others have experienced this. I'm using the Transcend 16GB 133x cards.

Hi Phil,
This has come up a few times in a few other threads, but I'll post a link here. You'll need to download Sony's clip downloader utility and let it recombine the appropriate clips as it takes them off the CF card. That will eliminate the audio dropouts. The utility can be found here:

Thanks Alex but I already use this utility as it came on disc with the unit. The dropped audio only occurs with HD file transfer. None of the transferred clips were over 30 seconds but every one had no audio for the last five or so frames but picture was there.

Ah. Frustrating to post a useless response, my apologies. As for that problem, I don't know what would be causing that. What camera do you have the unit hooked up to, what frame rate are you shooting and have you tried more than on NLE? Just fishing for more info in case there's something different about your settings, or something.
