Squelch Noise in Audio

Okay, my daughter's first project is complete and will be presented to
the class in less than an hour. For her first project, she has done
well. There is a little glitch that I don't understand. Between some
scenes, there is a "squelch" noise (a momentary crackling noise like you
hear on an FM or CB radio) between the scenes. The problem is not there
when the clips are cross-faded. They are there only when there clips are
butted to each other. It does not happen with each clip change. What is
the cause?

Thanks for all for the help. This is going to be fun, now that I've
bought AVS Converter that will burn to DVD, unlike the Sony/NTI software
that came with the drive that will NOT burn a movie DVD. Now if I can
only figure out chapters, menus, and such.

check the Problem Solving > Audio Issues page of my website for more than
you want to know or hear about.

You might try saving the movie as a DV-AVI file to get the higher quality
video... and again as a high quality WMV file to get better audio.... then
do another rendering to your final DV-AVI file, using the video track from
the DV-AVI and the audio from the WMV.

Is this problem one you have heard of before? (I have not read the
problems on your web page, but I will.) Also, I bought and installed the
AVS Media Converter as recommended by one of the posters here, and it
seems to be a very good program. My first DVD that I burned with it
actually worked.

yes, it's a fairly common issue, but not for all users.
