OneNote audio export/conversion

[Thurman]

I used desktop video capture software to record a demo of a software
product. The capture software does not capture audio.

Microsoft Sound Recorder only captures 30 seconds per recording on my WinXP
Home Edition. After paging through all 130 programs on my PC, I remembered
OneNote accepted audio.

I've got a near perfect audio track I recorded in One Note 2003 as a WMA
file. I need to edit before merging in MS Windows Movie Maker.

Audacity doesn't accept WMA. Is there a way to convert WMA to WAV?

If I change the OneNote audio record settings from Media Audio 9.1 to Media
Audio 9.1 Pro, will that change new recordings to a wav file?

Thurman in [email protected] shared these words of wisdom:

Microsoft Sound Recorder only captures 30 seconds per recording on
my
WinXP Home Edition.

It's (almost) the same on my systems under XP pro.
It's 60 sec. on both my TabletPC and my desktop.
It used not to have this limit in previous versions of Window. And I
never found it why there is this time limit and if this could be
enlarged.

I still use it for easy editing work but that's it.
For recording I simply use my PDA with a SD card, recording in WAV or
MP3 (and coverting later when needed). Easy as easy can be.

After paging through all 130 programs on my PC, I
remembered OneNote accepted audio.

Yes. And it does in a really fine way. And with the unmatched feature
of annotating sound.

I've got a near perfect audio track I recorded in One Note 2003 as a
WMA file. I need to edit before merging in MS Windows Movie Maker.

I'm sorry, but I also do not know any program fro editing WMA.
I have programs from Steinberg (WaveLab and WaveLab light) for editing
WAV files which have got old meanwhile but still work fine.

Audacity doesn't accept WMA. Is there a way to convert WMA to WAV?

I'm pretty sure that there are tons of tools which can handle
conversion. But I do not know any one except Steinberg MP3 Pro (which
is rather old too and not sold anymore).
I thought that the Windows media Player might do conversion but I did
not yet find out how :-( :-(

I'd suggest to check the usual tool download sites.
I guess that there might be quite some things on CNET et al.
Should you find something, pls share your findings.

If I change the OneNote audio record settings from Media Audio 9.1
to
Media Audio 9.1 Pro, will that change new recordings to a wav file?

No. This will also produce WMA only.
