Transport Stream with embedded audio. Yes. That's how Movie DVDs work. It's possible if the DVD is highly copy protected, you may not be able to open the streams and the first file may not be the first chapter in the show. None of this is going to work without the FFMpeg software package installed. ...

As a fuzzy rule you can't use USB for critical time recording. USB uses traffic-copping on the data lines and sooner or later you're going to miss a step and lose data or a data event.

There's another Desperation Method trick. Turn the Phantom Power off. The blue light fades out. Turn the microphone volume all the way up and watch the signal light while you unplug and plug in the mic cable to the X2U. Do you get the light? Disconnecting any microphone cable should disturb the syst...
