chipmasque: Thanks so much for your help and tests. I was about to submit a bug report myself, so thanks for this as well. I would submit my .blend file, but the whole thing (including the AVIs) is almost a GIG… I don’t thinl you want to download that. Besides, it seams with your white-n-black blink test that you have the exact same problem I am having. Have you tried MIXDOWN in that test? I bet you any thing the funny audio distortedness will be saved in the MIXDOWN. Btw, I am not sure what codec I am using, but I am rendering in Linux, and I don’t think it gives a choice with FFMPEG… so the default.
Ramboman: I’ll try separating the audio like you suggest. That is something I haven’t tried. Though it will be frusterating, if it works, I’ll be happy. Maybe I can batch it of something…
Thanks all for all your help!
I hope this bug gets fixed soon.
