But does it record? Record and Play are different problems. When you put a disk on and press record in Audacity, do you get a bouncing red sound meter and blue waves, similar to this... http://kozco.com/tech/audacity/Audacity1_record.jpg You may not be able to hear it yet.

Second Computer.. That's also the desperation method of recording both sides of a Skype call. Audacity is a really simple program and likes running on really simple computers. It has simple connections into the OS and will not survive odd delays and control sharing. There's no shortage of people wa...

You are not recording your cassette. You are very probably recording the laptop built-in microphone which would include the whole room. Change it in Windows Control Panels.

The original video is a .3gp file, which I changed to an .avi, and then posted here as a FLAC. You went through two compressions. The video capture was highly compressed and you saved it as AVI which is (usually) Windows' compressed format, effectively doubling the damage. The trip to FLAC didn't d...

When I said 'there is no sound', I was meaning that when I play the Audacity project, there is no sound being played. Nor is there any sound in the exported MP3. Yes, I get that. Do you have blue waves on the timeline and does the green sound meter jump? Does the Project open up to the right length...

That's problem 2. Are you on a laptop? Chances are good you have no Stereo Line-In connection. Does the connection say "Mic-In?" That's for a microphone, it's mono, and it overloads very easily.
