Hi Geoff - Matt has eliminated trplayer as a possible cause - he has found that my file malfunctions in the same way when run on RealPlayer 8 without the trplayer interface. I have asked for Peter Godman's help, so we shall see. As for the bit rate deal, I have a few files which were recorded at 8000 sampling rate, and compressed to a bandwidth of 3kb, where trplayer reports "bit rate 8k" - but other .rm files which seem to correctly report bandwidth as the bit rate.
