| 816176 | 2009-10-02 12:33:00 | I've been using Windows Movie Maker to capture and save video and sound from a device, saving it in the WMV format. This seems to produce a working video file just fine, but for some reason it always seems to take much longer for a player to open it than normal. Am I encoding it wrong? Is it Windows Movie Maker's fault? If so, does anyone have any suggestions for better video capture software? Thanks for any replies. |

| 816177 | 2009-10-02 19:12:00 | Depends on how big it is, on how long it takes to open it after. It may also depend on the specs of your system. Whats the capture device? A cam plugged into a firewire port / or a webcam with a mic or what? If it came with a program / or programs, use that. | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 816178 | 2009-10-03 01:32:00 | It's a capture device that takes input from just about anything with RCA cables; TV-out, game consoles, camcorders, etc. It comes with two pieces of software of its own, but one just creates files with the same problem, and the other burns directly to a DVD or saves an ISO to be burned later. Anyway, I found that if I save it as AVI they open fine, I just have to re-encode them with something that doesn't have a monstrous file size. It's just something about WMV files created by me, since other WMVs open with no trouble.. Strange, but oh well. Thanks for the reply, Speedy. |
