Problem with audio: Live streaming with The Pinnacle Movie Box Ultimate & JVC camera

[any ANONYMOUS forum user]

Hi

The Pinnacle Movie Box Ultimate which we bought does not seem to work for our application.

I am working with a Martial Artists who teaches self defense using a pretty common everyday cane and he is quite the expert. We have access to a very high quality H264 based live streaming platform that uses the the Adobe Media Encoder 2.5 and we want to broadcast live cane self defense classes across the net.

The problem is that we can't seem to interface his JVC GZ-MG360B to work with the adobe 2.5 media encoder (required) so that it can detect video and audio. The camera has a USB out and RCA/Composite out (not firewire) and when we used Pinnacle with RCA out to the Pinnacle and USB into a Vista 32 bit OS, the Adobe Encoder saw the video but not the audio.

It has been suggested that we simply take the RCA audio out and bypass the Pinnacle and use a YConnector into the Mic in on the PC. We have yet to try this and before we did I thought about going where the experience is and posting a question here.

PS: The GZ-MG360B is a hard drive based camera.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
