David, Thanks for the info. I expected that Nero 7 Ultra would have found the matching wav file, but it doesn't do that. It only imports the m2v part. There isn't even a way to add the wav file manually that I know of. (It's too bad that Nero doesn't have much in the way of support--not even a forum.) So are you saying that the quality of the file won't really matter if I am only doing short videos of under 20 minutes? If that is the case, I'll just continue to use the generic MPEG. Thanks again.
