A method of transmitting data by inserting audio information for use within a video editing apparatus includes encoding at least one analog audio signal into digital audio channel information according to an encoding format, the digital audio channel information including a length element and an audio encoded element; utilizing at least a first noise bit to replace at least one bit from within the length element to thereby generate a replacement length element; utilizing at least a second noise bit to replace at least one bit from the audio encoded element to thereby generate a replacement audio encoded element; generating replacement audio channel information according to the replacement length element and the corresponding replacement audio encoded element; according to all the replacement audio channel information generating a replacement digital audio sample; and inserting the replacement digital audio sample into a blanking section of transmitted data.
