Not to excuse avid for not being totally above board on this issue, there are so many workarounds for this problem, I'm surprised to hear people say their cams are "gathering dust" because they can't get Avid to recognize it.

1- Tmpgenc4 will take m2t input, export to m2t, and all is well. No re-rendering takes place, so no image quality is lost.

2-Vedeoredo will do the same

3-Cineform Neo will do the same

My camera is not 'gathering dust' I just find it ridiculous that, after using the camera since Mid-2006, I have to use a third party piece of software.

Hey, I went out and spent $5k on a MacPro and another editing solution to 'workaround' this issue. That's money that I spent, that I 'should' not have had to spend. That's an investment that I already made in Avid - that did not give me what was advertised. My investment in Avid became as good as my 401k in recent months. Useless. I have to stop, everytime I revisit this issue it get's me a tad bothered.

Does anyone know if this has been fixed? I'm running 3.1.1 on a Harpertown MacPro and getting terrible sync drift in a 720p/25 project. FCP works just fine, as does MPEG Streamclip. Capturing wild and transcoding with third-party software is absurd and not a viable solution in a busy professional editing environment. Are we seriously suggesting that it's okay to lose TC and source tape data?

Anyway, if anyone know if and when (which version) this bug was fixed, please let me know!

I thought we had all given up on this one.  Nice to see its still on the agenda. Obviously not on Avids though.

This ia a sad state of affairs indeed. Avid should have fixed this years ago - Marianna logged it as a new bug back in Februrary - that's ludicrous, engineering have known about this since 2005.

This is one that we should not let rest. Audio sync issues with the whole of the JVC GY HD series have been there since day 1. All other major NLE's seem to work with these cameras, only Avid can't solve the problem. I cannot get Avid to even digitise from tape without problems in HDV mode (we use 25P but I believe the problem is there at all frame rates).

Whether it is a lack of effort or bad communication with JVC it is unacceptable.
