Importing movie from camcorder to G4 and exporting back to camera and importing to G5/losing some of the sound
I am Importing a movie from my camcorder to a G4 (editing it) and exporting back to camera and importing to G5/I am losing some of the sound when I play it on the G5. The reason I am doing it this way is, I have a G4 at school and the students edit the movie and I export it back to the camera so I can take it home and burn a DVD on my G5 at home. I do not want my students to use my computer to edit the movies. Do you know of any reason why I am losing sound, it is just in spurts. I am not losing all of it.

I'm not sure what you mean. Could you answer again in more simple terms.

OK - let's start with your connection. I am assuming that you have a DV (Digital Video) output on your camcorder and that you are connecting it to the firewire port of the G4. If this isn't the case, then tell us how you are making the connection.
Secondly I am assuming that the program you are using to capture the stream is the Macintosh iMovie program.
Again, if not, then tell us what program you are using.
We'll take it from there.

Yes, I am using a firewire from the camera to the imac. I am using imovie. But, I have to use the g4 at school and transfer it back to the camera to use it on my G5 at home. I want to be able to burn a dvd w/my G5.

I will try it one more time and see exactly when I'm losing the sound.

Thank you so much for trying to find an answer to my problem. It
was happening at D. However, this last time I didn't have any problems. I
went into IMovie, Preferences and unchecked the box that said, "Filter audio
from camera." I had absolutely no problems this time.

I would like to split the points w/Dave Watkin. I didn't see a place to split points.

I've had something similar and found that if I exported from a different HD to the one running iMovie (system disk) that I had no further trouble. I imagined it was something to do with the disk buffer on the G4
