Hi. I'm converting a bunch of old family VHS tapes to digital format. I'm saving them in WMV files (so I can edit in Moviemaker). What audio setting do I use when saving? So Many to choose from. The save screen defaults to Windows Media 9 for Color Pocket PCS (225 kbps). The Video defaults to Windows Media Video 9 and the Audio defaults to Windows Medial Audio 9.2 but there is no "format" and several to choose from.
Which would I use or is it a hit and miss situation? I'd hate to wait all the time to save the clip and find out the sound was bad. Thanks.

Thank you. I will try this. Maybe it will help in the lack of sync with the sound and audio as well. Wondering if I should save them to AVI instead of MPEG or WMV. Your opinion?

Save to AVI only if lossless AVI. If you don't intend to ever edit and/or improve the video, then MPEG might be okay. Just my opinion.

I feel you, LMotlow. I had to double-check I hadn't fallen into a timewarp when I clicked on the OP.

Why edit in Movie Maker? I find VirtualDub better. I am not sure, but maybe Windows Movie Maker can import AVI files, at least when compressed to the standard formats such as M-JPEG with PCM audio.
