Sony's implementation is absolutely standard. You can look it up in the Blue book, or IEC 61834 (http://www.adamwilt.com/DV-tech.html#Standards)! However, most computer-based editors don't know what to do with 12-bit sound, so they'll convert it to 16-bit linear on input and reconvert it to 12-bit nonlinear on output. The good ones at least don't perform rate-conversion unless you ask them too; they'll report the audio as 32kHz, 16-bit. If MS6.0 refers to VX1000 audio as 48kHz or 44.1kHz, then it's performing a rate conversion. You might be able to change this in MS's setup menus (I' m not familiar with the program). Doing so will give you somewhat better sound -- how much better depends on the quality of MS's rate-conversion code, of course! Cheers, Adam Wilt DV Expo get-together? - Adam Wilt DV Expo is rushing down upon us like a speeding train (at least for = those of us with class notes due Monday), but I've seen no plans yet of a get-together for DV-L types. Any ideas? LA City Center may not have the same sort of friendly = ambience as Long Beach, but (according to Yahoo! Maps) the Museum of Neon Art is only a block or two away, so it can't be a *complete* desert! Surely = there' s some sort of watering-hole, caf=E9, or bistro nearby. I'm booked Thursday nights with a BOF sorta gig, but aside from that I'm free. [Many thanks again to Pinnacle for picking up the tab last year, but the way things are going I doubt Pinnacle can fund us at anything fancier = than fatburger, if that...] Cheers, Adam Wilt Sony InfoLithium Battery problems - Adam Wilt > The battery is almost empty, and when I go to charge it, it charges for > only a few seconds, then jumps straight to FULL.

I've had this problem with various NiMH batteries, and almost all my LiIon batteries (InforLithium and others) at some point: they charge for a short time, then report full -- but aren't. In all cases, if I pull 'em off the [factory-supplied] chargers, let 'em sit for a few moments, and then start 'em charging again, they'll charge the normal amount of time and take a full charge. Nowadays I just double-charge my Sonys (the F11 on my 505 still cam, the 960 on the PD150, and the battery on my Sony phone) as a rule of course: charge 'em, then when "full", turn the charger off, then on again (all my chargers are on switch panels; you can also unplug and replug 'em). Probably 6 times out of ten, the battery will then take a full charge. The other four times, it took the charge on the first attempt, and it'll stop charging within a minute or two, because it really IS full.
