Windows Movie maker seemed at first glance to be an excellent product for the creation of home movies. It has a very simple and intuitive user interface. Also, although is has modest fonctionnality, with some work it seems capable of creating some interesting movies.
Unfortunately, the software seems severly bugged. On a few occasions, I was unable to save my completed movies in the DV-AVI format, which you would want before using a compressed encoding for the final product, which was very frustrating given the time invested.
I researched the issue in the Microsoft knowledge base and found that the software had many bugs which where acknowledged by Microsoft, but there are 0 (none, nada, zilch) patches available to fix the issues.
I found other non-Microsoft web sites, which mention the problem with saving files (which can happen in formats other that DV-AVI). These sites give all try to provide help in resolving the issue, but none offer a fail-safe remedy.
Personnally, I dont have the time to invest in software which does not have acceptable support, no matter how interesting it may have seemed at first. |
