Re: weird playback speed

I apologize for my slow responses. Once the school year started I have little time to test. Here is an interesting round of data. Yesterday I made a recording with the same settings I had used a week ago with no problems, but this time the audio was slooow. My starting settings were H.264, 15fps, AAC audio at 128kbps, 44.1kHz with Better compression.

Excuse the jump because I discovered something today. I was able to correct the audio with Amadeus Pro and when I went to recombine the fixed audio track with the normal speed video track in QTPro I discovered the following Durations in the file properties:
File - 1:36:48.51
Video Track - 0:48:24.30
Sound Track - 0:48:24.30
Hinted Video - 0:48:24.30
Hinted Sound - 1:36:48.51

I have another post in this forum about Hint tracks getting messed up, usually the audio hint track is missing, so I'm suspecting there might be a correlation.

Back to compression settings. Once I noticed the aberrant audio, I made a series of test recordings, and the setting that made a difference was stereo/mono: mono recorded normally, stereo recorded slow. But what I didn't test (based on today's discovery) was recording and NOT having Wirecast hint the file in real time.
