I have been making movies and saving them as DV-AVI files. 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:
http://zoids3d.bearcreekfire.com/dow...ndexample2.mp3 (>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!)

Typically this "metallic" sound comes from a low-bitrate on the audio
encoding and the compression of WMV makes it sound tinny. People rarely pay
attention to the audio bit rates, and usually the program default is quite
low to leave more bandwidth to the video. In most programs you can specify a
specific bitrate for audio encoding. Depending on what you're doing, you may
be able to do the audio in mono, but choose a higher bitrate. This happens
to me a lot, I encode a huge file, but once I get to editing it, I figure
out I don't like the audio quality and have to start from scratch.

Well I tried to change the audio to an mp3 with a bitrate of 320 encoded
from a wav with 1141. Then I tried to use the wav-file as the audio source.
Both times, the audio came out the same buzzy metallic sound. Is there
something elso I can do?
