I prefer to edit files without conversion. If you still prefer to convert, you can convert to MPEG-2 format and then edit your video. MPEG-2 video can be edited with Virtual Dub or say AVS Video Remaker. I use the latter program a lot to cut ads.

MPEG-1 files are huge.

Bitrate: 15000 (I'm thinking this should be set down)
Audio Codec: MP2 (Again, it's not the greatest quality audio, so MP2 should suffice? Shouldn't need to bump it up to MP3?)
Channels: Mono (On some Peeks video I was able to save somewhere, I remember seeing that the audio was just mono - saw it in some properties dialog somewhere when I was recording video with Replay. It's never been listed in any properties dialog when I record the video with Jaksta)
Sample Size: 16 bit (No idea what would be good here)
Sample Rate: 48000 Hz (No idea)
Bitrate: 160 kbps
29,97 here means 29.97. Many countries use a comma instead of a period in the numbers.

Many players like freeware Media Player Classic can give you a detailed information about audio and video settings of a file.
