I do not believe the WAV choice is available in that version of Vista. You may have to resort to a different sound recording utility. Or you can convert. See http://www.dbpoweramp.com/ |

| | Re: Vista Home premium recorder Hi, I have this problem the other way round! I have Windows Vista Home Premium. (It's a French edition but I don't think that makes any difference. When I first used it, the Sound Recorder only recorded in the WMA format. Now it only records in WAV format! How can this have happened? I don't know exactly when the change occurred. It may have been after Windows Vista was reinstalled after an isoluble problem caused by a new version of Pinnacle Studio or maybe more recently after I installed a hercules WebCam but this seems unlikely. Pleas let me have your thoughts.

| | Re: Vista Home premium recorder Are you sure that Sound Recorder once recorded directly to WMA? WMA files are compressed and I thought that the WAV file had to be created first, by Sound Recorder or on a commercial CD, for example, and then the WMA (or MP3) file created from that.

| | Re: Vista Home premium recorder The Version I have (Windows Vista édition familiale prémium) definitely used to record WMA files. It was the only option. I've tried substituting wav with wma in the command line you provided. The Sound recorder appeared but would still only record in wav format. I suppose it's not a big deal but I don't like things I don't understand!
