Hi Rupert,
If I can break into this conversation between you and....Rupert, I'd
like to say that in the situation you're describing, I don't think
stereo audio is an issue. I capture my video podcast audio with a mono
lavaliere and convert with QT Pro and the results are very good. The
audio goes in as mono but comes out as mono in both channels. You can
check my podcast
if you like and hear for yourself. I've just opened it up so it still
needs some content but please check it out. Stereo in the field could
be a complication you could easily avoid and I would unless the
situation demanded otherwise.
Good Listening & Good Luck, and now feel free to continue your
conversation with Rupert.
