I have my camera set to record:
NTSC drop frame (29.97 fps)
Microsoft AVI files
24 Bits, 720 x 480, 29.97 fps
Field Order A
DV Video Encoder -- type 1
DV Audio -- NTSC, 48.000 kHz, 16 Bit, Stereo
Then I set the project settings to match as I read here. But after capturing, the clips properties are:
Microsoft AVI files
24 Bits, 720 x 480, 29.97 fps
Field Order A
DV Video Encoder -- type 1
DV Audio -- NTSC, 32.000 kHz, 12 Bit, Stereo?
I dont understand why it isn't capturing the higher audio quality like I've set?

Hi Mattie, welcome to the forums..
Since capturing DV via Firewire (I suspect that is what you are doing) is really transfering or a copy paste routine, then the settings in your DV camera must be set to record the lower quality 12 bit Stereo audio. Any video that you have already recorded at that setting can not be changed by setting the capture or project properties differently.
You need to change the setting in your camera, to record 16 bit audio.

I do have my camera set to 16 Bit. Do you think it could be a camera malfunction?

Hi
The camera is set to the audio 12 bit or 16 at the time of recording.
You appear to be capturing via firewire to Dv format, this is the best type of capture.
As Ron said, the capture process is like copying or transferring the video. (downloading if you like) No re-coding takes place. What you have is what you get.
Dv-Avi at 13Gb per hour.
If you get 12 bit then that was set at the time of recording, otherwise your camera is faulty, which I doubt. Changing to 16 only effects future recordings.
I would not worry about the audio, I doubt if I could tell the difference anyway.
From what I see you have no problems.
The only capture option you should select is using Dv-Type 1.
Read my Quick Guide for Dv- Avi from the link below.
Hope this Helps

I assume you are using VS 7

I recorded a new clip making sure the camera was set @ 16 Bit to see if that was the possible problem. It still states 12 Bit. I also called Sony and they suggested to reset the camera and it still states 12 Bit.
I've been noticing VS7 has been crashing so I'm going to re-install. What else could be the problem?
