Switching Formats

Recommended Posts

Hi,
is it possible to switch formats using Windows Movie Maker. I dont have any editing software and this one came free with XP. Whenever I upload something into Wimdows Movie Maker it seems to be in WMV format only.

I am trying to make a DVD of my skydiving videos and Nero wont accept this format.

Wmv is windows' own format. You need some real software if you want to make dvd's... Wmv is compressed too much (ie low quality) to use on a dvd anyway.

What you CAN do with the software you have is make a vcd (video cd) or better an svcd (super video cd), a full version of Nero will let you import wmv's into that. The quality is lower of course but these cd's play in most dvd players. For short movies I use this format sometimes because it's cheaper to give away cd's than dvd's ;) If you put high quality avi movies on an svcd most people won't even see the difference. This format is also useful to burn movieclips on from the 'net.

ciel bleu,
Saskia
