Here's a guess - I don't know the machine. Can you set the recording
quality (often expressed as recording time or bit rate)? Perhaps as a
(badly designed) result of editing it, the default quality is changed.
With luck, somewhere in the menus you can change it.
Sorry if this doesn't help: it's all I can think of.
