HVX: Out of Sync Audio

[dvxnerd]

I directed a 3 camera shoot a few weeks ago. It was shot DVCPro50 24PA. One of the cameras pretty much shot continuously for hours. About 1/3 through the shoot, this particular camera had audio and video go out of sync by 10 frames. The audio was ahead of the video.

I thought it may be due to the editing system (FCP 5.0.4, QT 7.0.4), but I went back to the original MXF files and put it on a card and played it on a PC, and it was out of sync. It stayed out of sync for many clips later on...10 frames out of sync.

I'm not sure yet if the sync issue stops when that camera was stopped and restarted from continuous shooting. I'll update this thread when I find out.

This same issue just happened to me on an interview setup. I will contact the rental company to see what firmware they used on their 8 gig p2 cards. Has anyone else experienced this?

I was shooting dvcpro50 24p Not A. it's like when it spanned to the second card, something weird happened and went out of sync. This happened on one other card in a 12 reel shoot.
