My camera, every once in awhile, develops these one second
 clicks in the sound track when I convert the mov file to wmv.

 Does anybody know how to remove these?

Hi Paul. I am an editor, and I also sometimes use windows movie maker
( for simple quick stuff)

1. Is this a usb transfer from camera to computer?



2.  What brand of camera is it ? If it is a sony this is a common
problem with the handycam series and I think I may have patch for it
depending on the model. (USB 2.0 versions had this audio frame
dropping problem and it drove me nuts till I changed my USB connection
software. ( the name on mine is Sony_usb)  It has since disapeared
form the Web, so I am really glad I saved a copy on my portable hard
drive.



3. Since it is intermittent I believe it isa software glitch with
either the USB transfer ( hence the software patch) or there is system
resource ( not one you are running but one running in the background
that you are unaware of, check task manager  to see wat is using audio
resources).  I have also had this problem with creative software for
MP3 transfer onto my Nomad.  Again it is a USB transfer issue.  The
USB patch I used was eccommend in a software forum because it
"siezes" the audio resources just while it is transfering to fix this
problem.  I think you run Linux, (Ubuntu ?0 which I am just learning,
but one of my friends is a  Linux devotee who may be able to help.



  4. Is there any way you can capture onto another Stripped down
computer to see if it stops ?  I keep a stripped down desktop and
Laptop just to do this so as to not have any interference.



I hope this helped

You can edit the film with Ubuntu Studio.
