Help/How To

Hi,

I am facing a strange problem:I have a recorded rush from an old DV camera. When I play it on windows 10 videos player and vlc, the sound is OK but when I edit it in shotcut, it sounds distorted, saturated and metallic.
Am I missing some codec? Shall I convert the audio?
The properties of the rush are:

audio properties
audio properties321×327 12.6 KB

video properties
video properties515×329 25.7 KB

Thank you for any help you can provide
Jezza

I have a lot of DV footage that plays perfectly fine. However, there are 3 formats for DV. Nearly all of mine are in so-called raw DV format. (.dv file name extension). It can also be put into .mov or .avi. What is yours? Anyways, I only have a couple of each .mov and .avi. I just tested these, and they play fine. Does something other than DV play fine? You can try to convert it (the whole video, there is no way to convert only the audio).

Thank you for the prompt feedback.
It appears that enabling the proxy seems to resolve the issue.
I will further check but I noticed that when the audio was detached from the video, the issue with the audio is still present.
I’ll keep you posted of the progress of my tests
Thank you
