Re: photostory 3 quality using movie maker?

You can try Super or MediaCoder (both free) to convert to AVI, MP4 or other
formats. The higher the bitrate chosen during encoding, the better the
quality of the video and audio streams.

They are both fairly well self-contained. Super can convert to MOV. I did a
quick test with it, converting a short WMV to MOV, which I got right on the
second try <g>. The WMM created original that I used was only 320x240
resolution and 448kbps bitrate however.

I have made many photostory3 projects using high quality images. I save
them
at the highest quality setting to the WMV format.
As i'm sure you are all aware, this does not allow me to play these files
on
macs, as the codec is not available.

I was told and read many websites about important my photostory3 project
into moviemaker and then resaving it. I have done this 3 times, each
selecting different formats (DV-AVI, high quality WMV, VBR WMV). Some of
these have taken 12 hours to save (the DV-AVI was 8gigs). But none had the
same quality as the photostory saved WMV. In fact, I was very
dissapointed
with the poor quality of the MM2 saved file.

So is there a way , using MM2 or any other software you could recommend,
to
convert a WMV made with photostory, to a same quality format that could be
played on a mac?

thanks so much
Mike
