| 389107 | 2005-09-18 04:32:00 | I want to download MovieMaker 2 but I DON'T want SP2 (Windows Update seems to require you take both together) Anyone know how I can get MovieMaker 2 on its own? Thanks | jcb (8906) | ||
| 389108 | 2005-09-18 05:00:00 | Have you tried downloading it from the MovieMaker 2 website? | stu161204 (123) | ||
| 389109 | 2005-09-18 05:04:00 | Thanks. I didn't know there was one - do you have the URL? | jcb (8906) | ||

| 389111 | 2005-09-18 05:31:00 | The latest movie maker - 2.1 - cannot be downloaded and comes only with Service Pack 2. This is to get people like you to upgrade to SP2. However from memory, Movie Maker 2.0 was released before SP2 so it should run on Windows XP with/without SP1. To download it try some alternative download sites like: www.download.com downloads.zdnet.co.uk Really though, you should upgrade to Service Pack 2. Edit: In case you're wondering heres whats different between 2.0 and 2.1: In Windows XP SP2, Microsoft is shipping a small WMM update, Windows Movie Maker 2.1. This release includes better compatibility with other video and audio programs thanks to a new ability to turn off other application's video filters. WMM 2.1 also includes Digital Video (DV) pass-through, which allows you to transfer video from an analog video camera or VCR to your computer by using a DV camera to convert the analog video to a digital format. Finally, there is a new constant bit rate (CBR) default capture setting in WMM 2.1's Video Capture Wizard; previous versions defaulted to a variable bit rate (VBR) profile. |

| 389112 | 2005-09-18 20:49:00 | I got moviemaker 2.0 from somewhere like Download.com a few weeks ago. I'm running Win XP SP1 and it goes just fine. I wouldn't bother 'upgrading' to SP2 and 2.1 unless you really need those extra features in the movie maker and want to go through the hassle of installing SP2. (Upgrading to SP2 made my comp spit the dummy) | Shortcircuit (1666) | ||
