I'm looking for something to record lectures (about 45 min) with 16bits/44.1kHz (I guess you can chose mono when recording a Hi-MD, am I right?). I’m now looking at Hi-MD, and wonder some thing about it. 1.About this *.oma file I get from SonicStage, can I handle it like a normal file and save it on a CD/DVD to use the himdrender program on it later? 2. If I record a PCM file (45 min, 16bits/44.1kHz, mono, ~250MB) on a Hi-MD and want it to my PC as a .wav file and use SS and Render, will this affect the sound quality off my file? 3. How quick is the "faster than real time" uploading from the Hi-MD for a 1 h PCM ? 2x, 5x, 50x or what? 4. Lets say I have 3 or 4 lectures on my Hi-MD disc (say 1GB data) and want it as .wav files (or possibly only one big .wav file) on my PC. How long will it take to do that if you're used to the programs (SS and himdRender)? This is interesting and I hope Hi-MD is what I'm locking for

Hello, I'm having some basic questions to. I'm looking for something to record lectures (about 45 min) with 16bits/44.1kHz (I guess you can chose mono when recording a HI-MD, am I right?). I have now come to HI-MD, and wonder some thing about it. 1. I have read about and tried to understand this HI-MD Renderer program but don't understand this about .oma-files. (Is it the file you get from SonicStage?) Could anybody explain from the beginning? What does SonicStage do? What can I use the files I get from SS for if I don't use the Render program? (I never heard of a soundfile named *.oma) 2. If I record a PCM file (45 min, 16bits/44.1kHz, mono, ~250MB) on a HI-MD and want it to my PC as a .wav file and use SS and Render, will this affect the sound quality off my file? 3. Lets say I have 3 or 4 lectures on my HI-MD disc (say 1GB data) and want it as .wav files (or possibly only one big .wav file) on my PC.
