    Hi,
    I recorded a few short movies this evening using my Sony Cbybershot camera. The movies have a lot of background noise from the crowd. It's this noise which is my biggest concern. Less of that please!

    What application best suits my needs for this? Final Cut Pro?

    The movies are currently in mpg format and a 45 minute video is about 140mb.

    Depends on what you want to do. I would have thought iMovie was the first step?

    Have you tried Audacity to clean the audio with some compressor/filters/eq? Then you can import the audio into iMovie.

    Yeah, I'd start with iMovie and separate the audio track from the movie, save it out and use Audacity or Sound Studio or the like to clean it up.

    To save time I'd edit the scenes I wanted in the order I want them then separate the audio out otherwise you're working on stuff you don't want/need in your final movie.

    Hughchal is your man for this. Working on the audio separately is a good plan though, and bringing it back into iMovie. Unless you can get your hands on Soundtrack Pro.

    As for working on the background noise, something with some decent filter settings like Audacity (as mentioned) would be good. It won't be the easiest to remove though, unless you have a fair idea what you are at. If you get stuck...
