Hi Joe!
Got it working now. Could you elaborate a little on what you said about the
audio level being set to -20? I'm glad you said something. No one around
here has ever told me about the standard. Is there some place that I could
do some reading about why -20 db and such? I'm always interested to learn
more about the standards set for video and audio.
Thanks!
Becky
