[Hidden-tech] video camcorder audio problem

[Michael Billingsley]

Just out of curiousity Jaime, have you run a cleaning tape through  
your machine?

Although audio is recorded with picture as a digital component of  
signal, the overall degradation of signal quality may be more obvious  
in audio when the heads are getting a little dirty.

The encoding for lost picture lines is more rigourous and may "save"  
picture in ways that are less noticeable (a little sparkle or  
interpolation of image in lines may escape your attention, but audio  
drop-out is obviously getting your attention).
