------------------
We convert our analogue audio files with Sound Forge 6.0 ( http://www.sonicfoundry.com); it is extremely powerful and fast ( you can work on several audio files simultaneously)  and has plenty of option when dealing with Video dubbing as well. It supports most audio extensions and solved our problem of all files previously digitised with Sound Edit 16 v.2 on Mac into .mov that could not be read by PC quicktime or any other player capable of reading mov. files originally. I think however that it is not cross-platform compatible and we are using it on PC.

------------------
For audio conversion, we use Cool Edit from Syntrillium software. It 
costs something but it's quite nice and will save the audio as real 
media, .mp3, or .wav, depending on how we plan to use it. We can also 
run some noise reduction programs and perform other tricks (cut and 
paste a pause, e.g.).  It does not do video.
