bringing in video images as mpg or avi (from Sony Cybershot) the audio is
scratchy and really odd. considering I would like to use grabs of the audio
amongst a music overlay how do I get past this?

Low bitrate audio get "stretched" (resampled) to the medium bitrate Movie
maker works with. it seems this resampling is done very roughly in Movie
maker and does not maintain quality. Microsoft support site says that it is
an issue with low bitrate MP3s only but in practice it affects all audio
sources.

Either extract the audio from your clip and convert it into WMA using
Windows Media Encoder or just convert your clip to WMV format.
