Hi Paul,

I don't have an answer for you, except that I don't think it's operator
error.  I've had this issue also since upgrading.  Even more maddening is
if you expand the audio track to show waveforms, the wave forms are
present, but still no audio.  I've had to delete the clip altogether, input
same timecodes and redigitize as a new clip to get around it.  I feel your
pain.

Ok, MY turn.

I have done this before (MANY times) but it just ain't working for me now.
I captured a clip...then I figured out later on that I need to have that
clip be 30 sec longer (roughly). So I go to the folder the clip is in,
right click the clip and go to Properties and then select the General Tab
and set the duration to the length I need and hit APPLY. Everything is
fine. The clip has media missing at the end of it. GREAT.

Now I right click and select Recapture and it asks for the tape and it goes
and captures the missing media (video AND audio). HOWEVER, when I play the
clip back the video is at the end, but the audio does NOT play back (only
at the extended capture point, all other audio originally captured is there
and playing back).

So, the cool part...I selected the clip, purged the media and decided to
recapture the whole thing with the new length. I do it and guess what, it
plays back the same as above!! Video is completely there, but he audio only
plays back to where the ORIGINAL outpoint was located. It just cuts off and
goes to silence while the video plays.

As I have said, I have done this many times before (in earlier versions)
without any issues.

WHAT have I done wrong?  :(

Thanks and I hope everyone's year is the best it's ever been...even with
Avid doing what it's doing to the DS...WHO knows?

Paul
