Has anyone found the solution to the recording problems that surface in
standalone app on
OSX? The sound recording works just fine within Revolution, but it
seems no matter what compression
scheme, sample size etc. I try, when I have made a standalone the kind
of recording I get
is a truncated file with an occasional repeat. It is like the symptom
described about a year ago
where you might say "1..2..3..4..5" and the file that is generated
sounds like "3..4..5..1"

While looking through the archives there were several suggestions, from
recommending QT Pro to
recording everything at best quality and then compressing afterward. I
have tried several compression
schemes, from IMA4 to Qualcomm voice to None, but the problem still
persists. I am trying to build a
voice recorder for foreign language learning, but I am not able to rely
on an accurate recording.

Any suggestions?


More information:

I have built a standalone on a G4 450Mhz Mac in OS 9.2 with Rev 1.1.1. QuickTime 5.0.2 (Pro version) is installed on this machine. Everything seems to work fine here, both in the development environment and in a standalone.

The same file on my PowerBook G4 500 Mhz in OSX 10.2.6 (QuickTime 6.2 non-Pro version) works like a charm in the development environment, but when I build a distribution and attempt to record speech, the recording gets truncated and jumbled up. Is this an OSX problem, a QuickTime problem, or a Rev problem? Does anyone have a workaround or a suggestion for getting OSX to record properly in a standalone?

Failing that, is the only option to install the Revolution free edition on every machine I want to record on and run the recorder within the development environment?

Thanks,
Dan
