The Sony DCR-PC55E released onto the market earlier this year is
billed as 'World smallest MiniDV Handycam...' You can check it out

Sadly though, there appears to be a problem when using this camcorder
with Ulead Media Studio Pro 7.3 - a lot of 'crackling' and distortion
on the sound during capture- and nobody seems to know what's causing
it. I've been all over the Net with no joy.

However - this sound problem is not present on rendered videos, and
only occurs with Ulead Media Studio Pro 7.3. The software supplied in
the box by Sony works fine.

However, if Ulead MS Pro 7.3 is your editing package of choice maybe
the Sony DCR-PC55E is not the best camcorder to buy. Right now it
retails for between 400-450 UKP.

Just a thought...

The software should hold captured video as AVI files in some directory or
other. You could try locating that directory and playing the avi files using
mediaplayer. If these sound OK then the problem is nothing to do with the
capture but the inbuilt mediaplayer in the editing software.
