Windows 7 - Video degraded under WMM
Asked By nadim
16-Nov-09 07:12 AM
Hi,
I generated a video (with snagit but i have the same issue with other
capture video software). The quality of the movie is well, but when i import
it on Windows Movie Maker (version 2.0 under windows XP Pro), the quality of
the video is degraded even before to generated a movie with WMM.
So, the problem is around WMM.
On WMM, I tried to change the format of the video (PAL, NTSC, 16:9 4:3),
but, i had the same problem.
Any help please.
Thanks a lot.
Regards,
N

================================
If you view the clip from the Collections pane
the resolution will be better than it is when you
view it from the Timeline/Storyboard. This is
by design and does not affect the saved movie.
You may be able to improve the quality of the
movie by using a Custom Profile when saving.
Personally, I use the following .wmv profile
when saving movies.
SlideShow-1024x768WMV9
Download from the following site...

Right click / Save as...drop it in the following folder:
C:\Program Files\Movie Maker\Shared\Profiles folder
(if there is no Profiles folder...you will have to create it)
Choose 'SlideShow-1024x768WMV9' when you save...

Why do you still use Windows XP? Windows 7 Give your reasons. Do you plan to upgrade ever? If so, when and why? If you use both XP and 7, do you ever plan on ditching XP for good? What will you do when support is dropped to the point where this new hardware? Personally I am waiting for Windows 8 to release a second service pack. XP sucked when it first came out until SP1.
