Formac offers fix for iMovie 3.0.1 issues

Formac has posted details on their website regarding upgrades to the Formac Studio DV/TV for iMovie 3.0.1 compatibility. We previously reported a problem with the external devices that could cause audio buzzing and other problems.

Depending on the installed EPROM version, the fix can be a free software download. However, EPROM versions earlier than 1.06 will require returning the unit for a $49 upgrade.

The company's support page states:

"Formac's new release of the Studio TVR software features a special iMovie 3 preference, adjusting the audio and video settings of the Studio dv/tv for optimal recording quality in iMovie 3. The settings are automatically activated every time iMovie 3 is launched. Additionally, the Studio TVR software includes a special iMovie remote control, allowing you to select TV channels and video sources directly in iMovie. You can now watch, record and edit TV directly in Apple's video editing application.

"The second software release, Formac's new Audiomaster software, allows you to record audio from any analog source into high-quality DV audio format. The software provides three digital audio modes, allowing you to determine the quality of audio by adjusting bit rate and sample resolution. Standard setting for the DV audio is 32 Khz at 12 bit. Additionally, you can choose between two high-quality settings: 44.1 Khz and 48 Khz at 16bit. Audio recorded with Formac's Audiomaster software can be imported directly into iTunes and converted to MP3."
