Re: Windows Movie Maker

Haven't been back in here for a while. To your question Kim, even if Wojo's
solution works I think AVS Video Converter is worth getting for a lot of
things, and Total Recorder too. The company that makes AVS converter makes
a lot of interesting products as you can see from their website. Latey
they've pretty much got into 'editing' too, and it looks suspiciously similar
to Movie Maker....their tools are really good, and I see they will be
supporting high def too, which is rapidly becoming a major interest of mine.
Actually I was thinking....AVS Converter has a trial that puts a watermark
on the video, but maybe the audio is not limited, and you could convert your
sound with it. I don't know. If you buy it, you just load your video into
it, and then click on other and then save audio, and choose wav. Save the
sound and bring that into Movie Maker and drag to the audio line. Just
right click and mute the sound on your original movie. You just have to
make sure you position the sound clip as close as possible to where it was
originally. For example, voice and mouth corresponding. Good luck.
