                                is only two audo channels on my FX7::<br>
                                <ul>
                                  <li>There is two types of HDV:
                                    HD1/720p (19 Mbps) and HD2/1080i /25
                                    Mbps) and Canon's 1080p24.</li>
                                  <li>HD1 is recorded to DV tape using
                                    only the DV video segment. The PCM
                                    audio segment is open for future
                                    use.</li>
                                  <li>HD2 is recorded to DV tape using
                                    both the DV video segment and the
                                    PCM audio segment. A small Subcode
                                    (ITI) segment holds data such</li>
                                  <li>as timecode. Because no PCM audio
                                    segments are available, HD2 cannot
                                    carry record PCM audio.</li>
                                  <li>MPEG-1 Audio:</li>
                                  <li>Both HD1 and HD2 support two audio

                  The HDV specification, like the DV specification, has
                  allowed for four-channel audio recording from the
                  outset. Few cameras took advantage of it, and when
                  they did, it was an add-on that did not maintain full
                  balanced audio throughout. Though the smaller Sony
                  HVR-Z7 records only two channels of audio, the larger
                  HVR-S270 has two XLR inputs in the front of the
                  camcorder and two XLR inputs on the back of the
                  camcorder. Each one has a separate audio level control

          itself only outputs the 4 ch and no 2 ch. But the computer

    Yeah, I saw some of the forum threads and had a look on the sample
    files.<br>
    For me they the ffprobe outputs were identical with my own hdv.m2t
    files.<br>
    I think as Mullen wrote, the limit for miniDV or HDV tapes was
    utilized for 1080i HD2 with 25 Mbps.<br>
    Only the 720p HD2 format with 19 Mbps had PCM tracs free for later
    use. Maybe other camcorders..<br>
    <br>
    Possibly file storage on other disc media could be utilized for
    larger bandwidth.<br>
    But I cannot see it was mentioned for the targeted camcorder disc
    recorder<br>
