So.....I didn't mention before.....but now I've found that converting avi1 to avi 2 by using Windows Movie Maker creates awful noise in the sound track. I'd there's some overhead hissing that conversion adds using that program.
Can someone suggest another program, preferably freeware or shareware as a solid option for making the conversion cleanly?
