I bought a Marantz PMD620 to record some stuff for transcription. I like
the machine a lot. Its controls are easy to operate and the line in and line
out work well.
The built-in Mics even sound pretty good. It has an internal Time of Day
and Date real time clock that is easy to synchronize with any TC slate
running Real time Time code (29.97 DF or 30 fps ND or 25fps) It will hold
close enough for transcription purposes.

I did however discover a problem with the Wav files recorded by the machine.
I could not successfully convert them to BWF files using BWF widget Pro or
drop cues in them and save the cues to the file. This is due to the fact
that the machine records Wav files that are not compliant with the RIFF
spec. The RIFF chunk size in the header of the file is off by 8 bytes.
This may make the files not play in software that strings files together or
add chunks or even if it just uses the RIFF file size to parse the chunks.
I notified D&M professional (the manufacturers) of this problem in their
firmware. The said they would turn the information over to the developers,
but I have had no word back from them on any fixes from their side. My unit
had version 1.0 Firmware.

If you followed the thread on very low budgets Monday, you saw where
Charlie Tomaras discovered that Amazon has stopped discounting the DV
sound books. That included mine, Holman's, and Yewdall's.

Now the discounts are coming back.

Anybody know what's going on?

I just got an email about a doco gig in Palestine in May. It all seems
like it could be boomed with some formal, sit down interviews also
happening so I may not need to be relying on any radios for the whole
lot but just in case I do, does anyone know anything about the usable
frequencies or even someone who rents stuff there?

Thanks very much,

Damien Looney

Since the 330 is stereo would you multiply or divide by 2?

Dolby 330 + cat66 = 396 - 22 = Dolby 374.

This is a "pro" group, don't you think you can do the math?
