Unless the noise is in a low frequency band (50 Hz or 60 Hz from Alternating Current interference, or perhaps compressor noise from an air conditioner), or a high frequency band above the frequencies of interest, or narrow band noise within the frequencies of interest there really aren't any practical solutions for removing noise that is in the original recording.

Try something from the Sony Vegas set of editing programs. Free trial downloads are available at http://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/...egasfamily.asp . The more expensive suites do more, the less expensive suites are easier to learn. You gave helpful details about the audio you want to remove, but not about the audio you want to keep. All of the Sony Vegas products can edit AVI files and can work on audio and video as separate data streams. Is the audio content a musical performance, a birthday party, a play, a day at the beach, an interview? Depending on the audio content and how it must work with the video content, you might be able to just cut out all audio from the most objectionable instances, and replace the removed audio with what is known as 'room tone' or 'atmosphere' (dead silence really breaks the flow of a sequence). Wind noise might be reduced by using a high pass filter (a filter that reduces the volume of low pitched sounds.) If the visual action does not have to exactly match the audio (no visible lip movement during an interview, for example) audio from another time location on the original tape. BUT, what you are running into is the difference between professional audio/visual recording (music videos, cinematic films, TV shows). The difference in the results depend on equipment and experience. For example - for interviews, tiny lapel clip-on mikes with tiny open cell foam windshields can be connected to the recording device by wires or radio frequency wireless systems; for more general audio, or collecting audio from a group, a single shotgun mike on a boom (fishing-pole) and also using an open cell foam or shag rug type windshield can be used. Also, a high pass filter can be used during the original recording to further reduce wind noise and mike handling noise. Some time you just gotta exercise some control over the people present if you want a good recording (or wait for a noisy jet or automobile to pass.) Remember, it is NOT necessary to have audio edits occur simultaneously with video edits. In fact, non-simultaneous edits are an important part of film grammar. Finally, there are probably better newsgroups in which to seek help on your particular tasks since video cards are only a minor element. Phil Weldon "Tom E" wrote in message ...
