Transferring .AVI file back to DV - audio drop out

[Arlene Battishill]

Can someone explain in simple terms the following...

I have a 3.76GB .AVI file I am trying to transfer back to
my Canon ZD-40 digital video camera. I created the file
using Windows Movie Maker on the Windows XP Home Edition.
When I replay the movie on the camera, the audio drops out
every five seconds or so throughout the whole tape. I
have transitions, audio, and music on the tape. The music
came in the form of me recording the music via the camera,
as opposed to importing from a CD (which I'm probably too
stupid to figure out how to do). Anyways, can anyone walk
me through the process of how I can get the file from the
computer to the camera without me jumping off a building
first?!!! Help!!!!!!!!!

Try copying it by using the WindDV utility - there's a link on the
Camcorders... General page of my website.

And defrag your hard drive before doing the transfer.

Try with as little running in the background as possible. Antivirus running
in real time is a major culprit of this. Disable (or snooze if possible)
the antivirus during the time you are exporting... but do NOT forget to turn
it back on afterwards.
