| 665136 | 2008-05-03 07:00:00 | With regard to Movie Maker, when I open, the programme opens for about a half minute then an error box comes up saying " Movie Maker has to close and any data will be lost" Is this related to the previous post about wrong codecs? cheers That sounds like most of the reports I hear from people "trying" to use Movie Maker. Thats why I consider it to be a pile of crap. Any of the other apps I have mentioned would do what you want without the issues of crashing as soon as you "try" and use Movie maker, Whenu. You could try downloading a codec pack from Tucows but my suggestion would be to start off with a decent video editing app to save yourself unnecessary grief. Yes it's crashing. |

| 665137 | 2008-05-03 07:05:00 | I've used MM a few times just for transferring video over firewire. Never had a prob with it. Even added titles and end titles with it. I've never had to install codecs to use MM Then loaded it in Nerovision, then added a few more things to it. Then burned it |

| 665138 | 2008-05-03 08:57:00 | would just having on-board video have any bearing on the matter? | Whenu (9358) | ||
| 665139 | 2008-05-03 09:03:00 | No, I dont think so | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 665140 | 2008-05-03 10:37:00 | Just used VLC and it went ok, got the whole movie | Whenu (9358) | ||
| 665141 | 2008-05-03 21:28:00 | would just having on-board video have any bearing on the matter? Maybe, with Pinnacle the recommended minimum video card is 128MB, preferably 256MB - onboard probably wouldn't work. This is for HD video. For SD video, I can process this on my old P3-650 (32MB card) but an hour of video takes 16 hours of processing. (As opposed to around 2.5 hours on my core duo notebook with a 256 MB card) Video editing is very hard work for a computer and everything has to be working in top notch order. No crap or bugs on the computer. Probably why vitalstatitix has problems with MM. Ken :thumbs: |

Ken :thumbs: I don't need to use Movie Maker as I have iMovie06 which does what it is supposed to do, but I have answered a lot of questions from people using or trying to use Movie Maker for their projects only to have it constantly crash when trying to export/save as a finished project to go on YouTube which it wouldn't do if it was a decent application that did what it was supposed to do. Most of the people I help are dealing with 100MB movie files or bigger. I suggest to them that they get the software I suggested earlier or get a Mac. You are quite right about video editing and rendering putting a heavy load on the computer which needs to be in good working order to perform to get the job out, Ken. It also helps if the software works when you want it to. |

| 665143 | 2008-05-03 22:28:00 | Only 1 slight minor problem using iMovie -the system spec's say You need a MAC (www.apple.com) - whos going to purchase a MAC worth $$$$$$ when they have windows simply to use 1 program. I don't have anything against MAC's - but please if everyone - if a programs suggested, make sure it will work on Windows if the person has windows, not something that wont. |

Quite right wainuitech, you do need a Mac to use iMovie06 or 08, but having said that any of the previously listed* software apps would be very suitable and reasonably priced to do what you want to do in Windows. I think Adobe Premier Elements (for one example) is about $150?? *Other good Windows alternatives - Nero Video, Pinnacle Studio (now part of Avid), Sony Director, Ulead Studio, Adobe Premier Elements ( I think it is called Elements) |

" There you go vts/wmg - for a change a Windows user has said that a piece of mac software is crap . Instead of you always bollocking Windows programs . It seems to me that if "you" don't own a program/OS/piece of hardware you think it is crap . Ken :2cents: PS One of our local computer salesman, (who uses a mac) said that imovie 06 was OK but o8 version was pretty cut back in some of it's functions . |
