Windows Movie Maker Version 5.1 SP2 Audio

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.video (More info?)

See in line. Firstly though, MM will be V2.1, the 5.1 you refer to is the
Windows version.

Why did you capture as Mpeg? Always capture as dv-avi, which will give you
the best quality to edit. MM has issues with Mpeg files, so this may be half
the problem.

Check the way the sound is recorded in the two camcorders, see if one is set
to 12 bit and the other 16 bit.

I don't have the camcorders, all I have is the mpeg
files, is there any way to tell from the mpegs 12 vs 16
bit, is there any way to fix the broken or non-compatible
file.

I currently capture using Dazzle Video,Editor- as far as
I know, if you set the program to best video capture, it
creates mpgs. Can you suggest a better way to capture
video, what should I buy?

Check www.papajohn.org and see the analogue capture > dazzle section for any
hints on using the dazzle.
Also do a google search for a mpeg to avi file convertor.
