<<Does it get noticably louder when it does that?>>
Yes. It gets louder. One particular part is a girls voice. Her voice gets very high pitched for a couple seconds and also speeds up. then the sound goes back to normal speed and then finally starts cutting in and out.
<<How is it getting from the camcorder to your ears?>>
I have tried 3 different things with the same result.
1. I have a Dac-100 Audio/video converter hooked up to the computer via firewire going out to a vcr which goes out to a tv.
2. I tried both of the camcorders connected to the computer by firewire and the camcorder has a speaker. The Camcorder was also going out to the VCR/TV.
One other thing...it's not on all projects...I am having problems with 2 projects, but a few others are working fine.
