When I import my videos to Movie Maker, the sound gains a lot of
static. The video is fine and you can still hear the sound but with
great amounts of static.
I have a desktop machine (HP Pavillion) and running Vista. The files
from my camera are .MOV which I have a feeling that's why the sound
messes up.
===========================
Movie Maker is not compatible with
QuickTime .mov files. I don't know
how you managed to import them.
