Phil,

I can't guarantee it will fix the issue but there is really a a good chance it will as your symptoms looks identical to the HDV bridge symptoms. You should give it a try once QFE3 is released and let us know. If it still does not, we will follow up with Miranda (being on the same island make it easy :-)).

Hi Michel--

True... I can't outrule a problem with he DV-Bridge+.  I'm not familiar with WsonyII.  Can you tell me what it is , and where I can get it?

Any chance that QFE 3's fix for the HDV Bridge will also solve my issue with the DVBridge+ ?

Thanks,

--Phil
