Well, not first time having headache from things that are valid. Anyway
when the program using avi goes around audio stream in DV AVI, it should
use it even when downloading to tape!

Seems we have a similar positon in similar companies :) Just by the way :)
plus, we are completly digital. We even have digital broadcasting and
editing complete digital and I don't think that I needed some special
skills. Where's the problem?

I checked now and I came on that we use Type 2 DV, which I didn't actualy
konw 'cause I didn't actualy need, but we don't have any similar problems.
What method you use to download materials back to tape? Again, if the
mechanism is ok, there'll be no need to use Type 1.

And carefully, don't misstake AVI Type 2 (AVI2 or OpenDML avi) and AVI DV
Type 2. I think that having Type-1 AVI DV (one stream) in OpenDML AVI
(AVI2) should be possible. Anyway it should not be necessary as I've
already written.

no doubt ;)

Well we can blame indexing indeed :)
