PC or MAC? I would assume that you mean that the audio is choppy on the master tapes. If the masters are choppy, then I would be looking at the camera. I imagine the repair would involve the audio circuitry on the camera...which cannot be cheap. Good Luck.</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/choppy-audio-on-vx200-playback#post-29900 Thu, 07 Jun 2007 12:47:25 +0000 eclose 29900@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ I cannot seem to solve an audio problem on my VX2000. I taped a buddy's wedding and need to put together a DVD however the audio is choppy. I have been to several sites trying to figure it out and this is what I have found so far. I thought it was a Mac problem but my macbook pro is brand new. <br /> <br /> It is not the tapes. I have tested it with expensive tapes and cheap tapes and the same thing happens. <br /> I have recorded on 16 bit audio which worked fine originally.<br /> I have cleaned the heads.<br /> I have not messed around with anything else.<br /> <br /> What can it be? Is it the equipment? Do I need new heads? What is the process for that? How expensive is that? I got my camera while ago and it has performed great for the past few years, like 7 years now.
