Just a few data points in case this is useful:
- Dell Dimension 8400 Media Center
- 3GHz P4, 1GB memory, virtual memory extended to max = 5GB
- SP2, Movie Maker 2.1
- wmv file is 2GB after being saved to computer from initial project file
(which itself is only 3MB, pointing to captured saved "raw" content from DV
camcorder)
