Novice: First steps with VirtualDub

Apart from making a few 'slideshow DVDs' (using MemoriesOnTV), I'm a
complete novice in this territory. I've just started dabbling with
Windows MovieMaker 2.0. I made a 4MB WMV with it and have eventually
converted it to an AVI (albeit 8MB, too long), using 'WMV to AVI MPEG
DVD WMV Converter' V1.2.2 from Allok Soft. I'm now trying to work with
that AVI in VirtualDub (1.3c). But I'm confused by a few truly basic
points, and would appreciate a little help please. (BTW, the
Help|Contents seems great, but the Help|Find doesn't work at all here.
Is that others' experience?)
OK, specifics. As a simple first toe-in-the-water step I want to
delete about 1 sec from the end of the AVI. So, I open it in
VirtualDub, and delete those few frames (neat tools for that). But on
then using File|Save AVI I get a file that doesn't play the audio ;-(
Under Audio|Conversion, I see that all 3 sections are set to No
Change. Is it something to do with those two options under Audio:
Direct Stream Copy, and Full Processing Mode perhaps? By choosing the
latter, I get audio back - but the file size is about 250MB, 60 times
the original!
In short, how can I just save the original AVI file with a few minor
edits please?
