I was on a trip for 4 weeks - home now and put together the video/pictures with MSFT Movie Maker.
I compiled my timeline and the timepline showed 1:15 min of avi video/ jpg pictures . I then clicked on "create on my PC " ( or something similiar = save as wmv file on my PC) and it projected about 445mb and 800 minutes to finish !
I figured it would go down as it progressed. We went to dinner for a few hours - home now and still showing 167 minutes left. The process is using 99 % of CPU time - so far has used 2 hrs 45 min of CPU time. I have a 2ghz cpu with 1gb of memory and closed all other apps ( I'm writing this offline since no NAV nor nic enabled right now). What can possibly take this so long. Is this typical ? or is " Something wrong with my setup" ?
I'm gonna let it run since it's so far into it, but what are my options ?
I have Nero 7 ( has video record options - Vision, Recode etc)
Rather than wmv file, and since it's already in avi format ( which means nothing to me), it any other public program better // quicker to use ?

You might want to check on the Movie Maker newsgroup.
microsoft.public.windowsxp.moviemaker

Will do - sorry about that - I thought part of XP.

No problem, Bobb. It's one of those features for which MS made a separate newsgroup, so that's where you have a greater chance of finding the folks with the most experience with it.
