I haven't actually tried it yet. My chosen audio converter gives me a choice
between MP3 and WMA(version8) for my output file.

At an uneducated guess, I would have thought the latter of the two would be
the least likely to cause hiccoughs in DVD Maker.

Can anyone confirm this for me, please, or (better still) recommend an audio
converter which will convert the audio from .mov files directly to wma(9)?

I forgot to mention that I'm only interested in the .mov files from the
video clips you get from inexpensive stills cameras like Kodak.

=====================================
I'm not clear on what you are trying to accomplish.

Are you only interested in the audio?

If you have Apple QuickTime you should be able
to play the .mov clips...

The following article offers a simple work around
for saving the sound files:

Movie Maker 2 - Importing Audio
http://www.papajohn.org/MM2-Importing-Audio.html
(look at the right column under PapaJohn Comments
beginning with "I use a shortcut")

Also...the following free online converter may be useful:

MediaConvert
http://media-convert.com/
(for audio only...use .wav as your output)

Several weeks ago I started converting the MPEG4 element of .mov files to
WMV9 by importing them into Movie Maker and publishing the auto movie to
"this computer" (for later editing, removal of choice language, etc.). The
K-Lite codec pack I've used to this end produces an audio file
unrecognisable to other software (including "G Spot" and "The Video
Inspector"). So the simple solution seems to be to convert the audio from
the original .mov file to a file type that WMM is happy with. This
facilitates synchronisation.

Thanks for your suggestions:-

Media-Convert is very good with no loss of bit rate - I tried it with a 1
minute videoclip.

PapaJohn is currently evaluating some new MOV conversion freeware - so I'm
glad you recommended his web site.

I still have some testing to do. If you or PapaJohn should be interested in
the results, contact me:-

Thanks again

Brian
