...please give me a hand. As some of you know, the sony DVMC-DA2 is listed on your sound control panel (DV Two channels) therefore making it easy for you to record sound material from a movie. Well, not quite. I tried to record sound out of a movie with both Simplesound and Roxio's Spin Doctor. Both programs crashed and my G4 was quite slow while trying to do the recording.

So my question is: if you ever recorded sounds from your Sony converter with any software, or if you have any idea of how to do it successfully, lemme know. Try doing it at home and tell me what you think.

Thanks folks!

Just in case you want to know, sy specs are:
G4 400
OS 9.1
640MB RAM

i have no problems at all capturing audio with Final Cut Pro and the DVMC-DA2.

but, to my memory, i have never quite successfully captured audio in sound manager-based audio apps with the darn thing.

if you don't have FCP, you might try using iMovie to capture it then export the qt audio, etc.

If your using a sound manager in, yhen you can use Soundedit and the line in port

but why have a media converter if your not going to use firewire...in which case maybe use iMovie . . .(can it output QT audio?)

Sort of... If you record a movie in iMoive it will have to have a video track to begin with, even if you're just recording a blue screen. Once you have a movie you can "extract audio" which creates a separate QuickTime compatible iMovie file called "Voice 01" (or "Voice 02", "Voice 03", etc.) inside your media folder. You can open that file with the QuickTime Player and change the settings and export it to whatever file you want. Or you can export your whole movie from iMovie to QuickTime with an "expert" setting and set your audio to whatever you want and then delete the video track from the QuickTime Player (Pro). I would probably just extract the audio because then you don't have to tax your machine by rendering all the video for your QuickTime export.
