Optimizing Low Bit Rate Audio is a Microsoft article that focuses on audio. At very low bit rates, you achieve audio similar to telephone quality. The secret to getting the best sound at very low bit rates is to understand how the codec works. You can achieve the best voice quality by making sure you record voice content in a way that helps the codec do the best job of compression. This article provides a high-level view of how the Windows Media Audio 9 codecs work with low bit rate content so that you can create the best sounding audio.

- • Helping you with problem-solving... by providing insights into how Movie Maker 2 works 'under the hood', issues you might run into, and what you can do to resolve or work around them. I rely heavily on the collective experience of Movie Maker users and information from Microsoft. Hopefully over time, as issues are resolved, this will become a secondary goal.
- • Providing the Online Companion for my 'Do Amazing Things' book published on December 10, 2003. Use the link to Amazon below to order it. The companion makes clarifying notes, provides source files, shows samples, and takes you deeper into selected topics... things often done with CDs or DVDs included in a book. By doing it online, the content changes as we grow together in movie making skills.
