sound expert, pls!: how do i get rid off of echo and noise i

[lin(o:]

hi. i've seen a lot of video encoding tips in this forum that helped me a lot. now, I need audio encoding tips. i'm trying to convert my wedding video from vhs to tape. captured it in dv format using firewire and dv camcorder (i don't have a tv tuner card). i know how to convert the avi sound to wav. what i need help on is reducing the noise and echo in the captured sound. the echo is present in the original video specifically in the scenes in the church (the mass) since the videographer we hired only used the mic in his video camera. is there anyway i can digitally alter the sound so i can have a cleaner sound on the video?
Thanks!

I can't tell you for sure if this will work but you could try using 'cool edit 2000' This is a good audio editing software that supports many plugins. One I know of off hand adds echo so I would asume that it may be possible to use an effect of the program to reverse the echo effect some how. Cool edit 2000 edits WAV files. I beleive the company name who makes this is SYNTRILLIUM. Good luck.

A good program that has been around for a long time is http://www.goldwave.com you can load a movie into it (It takes the sound) and can view the track on screen, use the filters or Normalize it before saving to a WAV

There are many things you can do with this program, I use it a lot of mad movies and get very good results. I usually use TMPGEn to make a VCD with the original VID and the new AVI with no sync problems.
