I've experienced the exact same double-speed recording problem using
MetaCard 2.4.2 B4 with a Mac PowerBook G3 running 8.6.  Scott tells me it's
a QuickTime bug.  I found recording worked fine on a desktop PowerMac G3
running 9.1.  It also worked fine on an iMac running 8.6.  I haven't tested
it yet on my Sony/Windows ME machine, but I'll post something when I do.

I guess the question is, does anybody have any suggestions for contacting
Apple about this?
