Default Capturing audio only


I had been running Windows MovieMaker (Pre 1.0 beta) for the longest time.
The unique ability of this specific version was my ability to simply capture
audio without worrying about capturing video. All I would do is click on the
Record button and I could record my "Line In" input such as a radio source.

Is there any way to do this with MovieMaker 2.0?

Mike,

I use the Stereo Mix option in the narration wizard to capture any audio
that is playing. It'll save it as a WMA file. MM1 does the same thing but
saves it as a WAV file.

Helo there,

If capturing audio only is what you need why not use a program specific
to the task, Audacity or MusicMatch. Audacity is very good indeed. Both are
free BTW.

There is a link to both in the Great Links section of my website.
