Hi. I'm brand new here, just signed up today in hopes of finding answers to something I posted elsewhere, which I will copy below:
--------------------------------------------------------

I've had this Panasonic digital video camera for a few years. I've made tons of videos and uploaded them to my computer via MovieMaker.

Well, yesterday I uploaded a full mini tape worth of video to the computer and when I went to play it back I found that there was no audio. There WAS and still is audio on the actual tape when I play it through my camcorder itself.

This happened once before, last year or so, and I can't remember how I managed to fix the problem. I've been wracking my brain and Google but still can't figure it out.

Does anyone have any idea what I need to do?

-------------------------------------------

OK, after that, I thought I had it figured out and here's what I posted:

In MovieMaker, after I clicked on "Capture from video device", I clicked the drop-down arrow on "Audio Device". It WAS on "SoundMAX Digital Audio" but I changed it to the other option which is "DVC". Dunno what either of those mean but when I tried it that way it now works fine.

----------------------------

Then I discovered that things really were not quite fixed after all:

OK, new problem. The above solution worked fine but only when I did a brief piece of test footage. But upon uploading the entire hour's worth of tape from the camera to my computer, the audio was off from the video. Like way off. I was watching one scene of some of my family members on a tractor, talking about how to run it, and then all of a sudden I could hear audio from the parade that didn't happen till the next day!

Hoping someone might have some suggestions. Even if they seem obvious, they may not be to me!
