wow that is weird.... straight cutoff with just a few perfectly square blocks showing up every second.

I'd venture to say that no analog or lossless digital encoding (wav or otherwise) could create these blocks. so what I'm saying is I believe with certainty that this is lossy.

so the next vital question is when did it happen? did the camera record it lossy? or was it mauled during its tortuous journey to your collection?

Does anybody know if a hi8 cam exists which records lossy audio? What encoding would that be? If it was recorded lossy at the source imo it is tradeable.
