ot: MP3 to WAV

[all]

[quote=desmond]I quite the novice on this stuff but I am sure I did not screw that up. I’ll keep trying. [/quote]

I did not think you messed up – there is probably something in the environment that’s breaking Audacity. Do you have to use WAV? Windows Movie Maker and Apple iMovie should be able to handle MP3’s. Both come with a decent library of audio/video effects and I believe both can export directly to YouTube.

Uco & Cap,

Uco, I am just getting used to the zoom, 18x, & way over did it on that video. I’ll try your tips on holding it. I am usually riding my ATV when I spot something, have to stop, pull the camera out of my shirt pocket and not move while filming. I got the S9100 because it will fit in my pocket.

Cap, I probably could use WMM, but just used the program that came with the camera, ViewNX2, and it requires WAV. One slow step at a time for me.
Thanks for your help.

I’m converting all the time, but never MP3 to WAV. MP3 is lossy compression, so you are drastically increasing file size with no improvement in quality. If it’s just a case that you have to send files somewhere as WAV, then you have to do it. Best would be to go to the original file and convert to WAV. If the option exists to use MP3s, go for best quality settings. Your won’t lose much as MP3s are good enough for CD quality IMO, unless you are purist, and want to record the Vienna Philharmonic. I use Amadeus. It’s cheap, easy to use and converts to many file formats.
