Hi Everyone 
I have lots of video clips that I made with a very cheap camcorder and the audio quality is totally useless, its all tinny and trebbely with hiss 
I have since killed the camcorder with a large hammer but I am keeping the videos because they contain film of my late sister 
I have tried importing a video into Audacity to try to improve the sound but it wont import.
PLEASE can anyone give me some help here as to what to do 
Many Thanks.

If you donât have the camcorder any more, how are you playing the tapes?

Hi Koz
Sorry,I should have said 
They were recorded onto an sd card. I had a 2gb card in there and have 28 clips saved that I want to improve.
Many Thanks.

Audacity can recognize many different video formats if you install the FFMpeg software add-on.

If the camera saved the video in a special camera format, then youâll need something to convert. Audacity will not export into any video formats. How were you planning on getting the patched sound back into the movies?

Hi Koz 
Many thanks for your reply.
I followed the link that you gave me but can you tell me which version of FFMpeg I should download,there are so many, and lame or not lame (whatever that means) 
The camera recorded the clips as AVI files but I have âany video converterâ so I can convert the AVI files to anything if need be.
Excuse my ignorance but I dont understand what you said about how to get the patched sound back into the movies
Ime thinking that, if I can import the audio from a movie clip into Audacity and enhance it, I would have to delete the original audio and attatch the enhanced one, Is that how it works??? Perhaps windows movie maker would do that???
Looking forward to your reply.

Instructions for installing FFMpeg for Audacity on Windows are here: http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/FAQ:Installation_and_Plug-Ins#ffdown
Thatâs basically it. You need to use some sort of video editing program to remove the old audio track and import the new audio track, then save the whole thing as a new video file. Iâm not sure if Windows Movie Maker can do this - it may.
Hi Steve
Many thanks for your reply and the link. But as I said before there are so many downloads on that page I want to get the right one
Can I be a real pain and ask you to cut and paste the one I need?? and what does lame and not lame mean
Looking forward to your reply.

Windows
Go to the download page
Left-click this link, do not right-click.
In âFor Audacity on Windowsâ, left-click the link > FFmpeg_v0.6.2_for_Audacity_on_Windows.exe > and save the file anywhere on your computer.
Double-click âFFmpeg_v0.6.2_for_Audacity_on_Windows.exeâ to launch the installer (you can safely ignore any warnings that the âpublisher could not be verifiedâ).
Read the License and click Next, Next and Install to install the required files to âC:Program FilesFFmpeg for Audacityâ (or âC:Program Files (x86)FFmpeg for Audacityâ on a 64-bit version of Windows).
Restart Audacity if it was running when you installed FFmpeg.
If you have problems with Audacity detecting FFmpeg, follow the steps to manually locate FFmpeg.
Hi Steve
Many thanks for pointing me in the right direction for the FFmpeg download. I have succesfully done that and imported the audio from my first video clip.
I have tried various effects like normalise,compressor,bass boost,equalisation,but I fear I am getting nowhere
I have attatched the audio to this post so I hoped you could have a go at it when you have the time 
I know its a bad recording,even with the wind blowing on it,Ime not worried about that,I would just like it to be less trebbely and a bit easier on the earholes!!
Looking forward to your reply.

Hiya People
I see that my recently attatched audio file has been downloaded twice.
Can anyone suggest a way how I can clean it up and improve it
Many Thanks.
