But my point is that I have yet to hear the point that the compression
does show its teeth. I'd like to hear a sample of MP2 falling apart.
Do the group a favour and make two recordings with the HDV camera you
have/or going to use. Record a section of spoken word in HDV then
switch the camera over to DV/DVCAM mode and record the same phrase or
whatever in PCM. Upload those two clips to a website so we can download
and compare. Choose a situation where you believe MP2 audio is
inadequate and again make a recording in MP2 and PCM on the same camera
and mic. Upload these files somewhere that any interested party can
access and compare.
Would you be able to do that? I am sure it would be a valuable exercise
that many people would find a useful reference.
Ty Ford was asked to demonstrate how appalling MP2 audio was but was to
tied up listening to condenser mic noise to take part in the experiment.
