Poor Sound Quality when saving to AVI file

Here is what our project is..... We are creating a photo story in MS Plus!Photo story then bringing it over into Movie Maker 2. We then are adding a audio file from a file that was saved from music cd to the hard drive as a .wma file. Then we are saving it as a AVI file. If you play that file in the Windows Media player you can hear a electronic buzzing like sound along with the music. It was fine when we saved as WMV/WMA file option it was fine. Final project we want is a VCD or DVD. We were succesful with encoding with TMPGEnc software then burning it with Nero to a CD as a VCD, the video is really good. So how do we make the audio better... Do we use a different type of audio file? We are at a loss!! Thanks this a important project, we are lobbying for Firefighter Death Benefits.
 
I am fairly new at this so if anyone can help that would be great. How do you save the video as a AVI or MPEG?
 
Hi there,

In Movie Maker and after you have finished editing your project you
click on File > Save Movie As > and then work through the dialogue box and
choosing DV-AVI. Movie Maker cannot create MPEG files.

You will need a third party product to convert your AVI to MPEG. The
MPEG standard itself is Copyrighted. To get a program that will always work
with no time limit etc you will have to pay.

Well I figured it out myself with a little bit of research.... In movie maker after we made it. We save the audio and video separately. The Video as a AVI file and the Audio as a WMA file. Then in TMPGEnc software the two are merged back together to covert it to a encode it as mpeg 1 or 2. Then used it in Nero to put as a VCD or DVD. The audio was great in final product!! Hope this helps those wanting to put long slide shows together. Jennife
