I have a DVD which is an audio interview, over an hour long. The sound quality is poor, with a lot of hissing on the 's' sounds. Does anyone know someone who could process it to improve the sound quality?
Although I'm not local, I could send a copy by post easily enough.
Thanks, Chris.

Chris
When I converted a lot of old records (some 6 years old) to CD I used a program called Audacity to remove some of the snap-crackle-pop that the records had acquired over years of misuse. Audacity is a free program
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

A bit of a bugger to learn how to use it initially but trial and error can sort that out.

5 Precepts of Buddhism seem appropriate. Refrain from taking life. Refrain from taking that which is not given. Refrain from misconduct. Refrain from lying. Refrain from intoxicants which lead to loss of mindfulness

Google "Audacity reduce hiss" and you'll get loads of advice. Its a fantastic program.

Thanks. I've downloaded Audacity but now my problem is that I don't seem to be able to rip the contents of the DVD on to my computer. It seems to know it's not music, but it is a WAV file.

Thanks, Gibbo, but having looked at the Audacity software I've decided to abandon the whole idea. I need someone to take my disc and sort it, otherwise I'll just not bother.
