Yes, but it won't look the same -- and you can gently drop some audio
frames over a larger period of time without it being noticable.

WRT to your Plextor ConvertX it sounds to me like a USB bandwidth
issue since it is an external device -- are you sure it is working at
USB2.0 speed?  USB1.1 speed is -just- enough for it to work most of
the time (11mbps theoretical is dangerously close to what you would be
recording at -- 3-5mbps..).
