Hello Joe, et al,
Yes, you're right! MM2 is very slow as compare to my WinDVD Creator-2 which came with my DVD burner BenQ-1620. Yes, it could not
open MM2 project file MSWMM extension BUT any program can open those standardized files system WMV or DV-AVI. Therefore; I choose
DV-AVI to used and it opened right away even though DV-AVI is very BIG files and using the same PC with no memory RAM added.
The needs to do to speed this up: Clean and Defrag your hard drive. Exit out all unused programs especially those Anti Virus
program, Spy & Ad's wares, Instant Messenger, Screen Saver, etc. The more the Memory RAM the better.
These are our common wish list:
1. Hope Microsoft Programmers can write a Pro version - wishing it be MM3 Pro.
2. It must open files as quick as the rest and similar programs.
3. Replace MSWMM files and concentrate only with DV-AVI file system.
4. Straight from the box burn DVD, SVCD, VCD, or CD playable in PC & all Players.
5. Eliminate all CoDec problems by having them integrated into the software.
6. More features added but make it simple to use.
7. Pro version must be purchase as the rest Microsoft products.
8. Continue the FREE version for new comers.
If you can add some more, so our good Programmers will have a better guide lines to follow this people demands.
All The Best,
--Rino

I have just started playing with video capture so I apologize if my question
is an amateur one...
I have an AMD Athlon XP 2.4, with 512 MB of RAM and a 200GB 7200 RPM hard
drive.
I used my capture device to capture about 40 mins of video, in MPEG format.
The filesize was about 608 MB. When I tried to import this clip into
MovieMaker, it grinded for about 20 minutes until finally responding again.
The hard drive and entire system strained non-stop during this time. Once it
did respond I was not able to do anything with the clip without the
never-ending grinding again.
I was watching Task Manager and did not see Moviemaker use any more memory,
so I am not sure what it was doing, but it is certainly not useable with a
clip of this size. I have imported some smaller clips and the response was
much faster.
What do I need to do to speed this up? Do I need to have more system emory
than the size of the files I am importing? Can I import a file without
having it automatically cut it up into "clips", which also seems to take some
time?
Any advice appreciated.
