I have been making movies and saving them as DV-AVI files with windows movie maker. Now, the problem I'm having is rather difficult to explain, but when playing back the avi file, where the audio bass peaks, it seems to have been cut off and left a wierd metallic sound, kindof like a buzzing. It matters not what format the original audio is. WMV files are played back flawlessley. I uploaded a clip of an arbitrary file i made as an example, from john lennon's imagine: Example (>500kb) Listen closely to the lower frequency and you'll hear what im talking about. Thanks for anyhelp if I don't manage to reply. (Microsoft: Include an option to select your own codec/bitrate/file type, and I'll back yah some more!) > I have tried having the source audio as a WAV file (1141br) and mp3 files at (128 and 320br). And I get the same results. Don't mention system restore.
