Distorted audio when saving movie

[Guest]

I made a short movie using a song I recorded from my itunes library (I'm on a
PC) using Blaze Media pro.

When I SAVE THE MOVIE TO THE COMPUTER using the best quality option the
movie turns out looking great with the pictues and music synched perfectly
but the audio is terribly distorted. I have tried recording then song
several times with various quality settings on Blaze and I have tried turning
off the audio filters and adjusting the quality settings in Movie Maker. It
doesn't seem to matter. The audio is always distorted. Does anyone know
what I can try to improve the audio?

Thanks.

1) If a download from itunes then it will be copy-protected - DRM (google
it)
2) It will also be of an incompatible file type, but acadamic as it will be
DRM.
3) If it is a track you copied to your library from a source other than
itunes, then
it is probably an incompatible file type - convert it to a WMA.

Thanks for the suggestion decoder. Unfortunately I already tried recording
it as a wav file (man talk about a huge file) and it still came out distorted
when I saved the movie (the audio sounds great while I'm in Movie maker's
editing program by the way.)

I guess my next course of action is getting the actual song from the
artist's disc and try to save it as a capatible file from the disc and see if
that improves things.

Again thanks for the help.

Ha,

I'm an idiot. I found the problem to the distortion. The equalizer in the
windows media Player program had the low end/Bass range turned up to max
levels. I never noticed distortion before on other files that played in the
player so it never occurred to me to check the equalizer.
