My new commute (video)
It is only 6 miles round trip, and one day I get to do it twice.
I put some music in it which took way to long for me hope you like. Windows Movie Maker sucks.
5.45 minutes speed is 2X normal.

I was just going around a rather nasty dip in the road. Maybe a little overreacted.
Songs.
Blue May
Emptiness @ 3.30 ish
Binarpilot
Destory the popolution
after the phone call
Last Song.
P.O. box
Bully @ 440 ish
I did a mix on it and chopped the song all up.
I found some creative commons music. I don't have the info on the phone call.

I notice those artifacts at the top of your frame. That may be caused by a weak graphics card. I tried using a nice video editing program on my weak-a55ed PC and got loads of artifacts. It maxed out my processor continually.
You might try downloading the free video conversion program Super. Maybe convert your footage to .wmv first, then edit in Movie Maker.
Just a thought. I am no expert.
Nice tunes. I love that Southwestern scenery too. Thanks.

I use WMM as well, I installed K-Lite codec pack to help with the smoothness of my editing, it allows me to edit diff types of video easily. Now to just get some of the plugins like Joey uses

Windows Movie Maker Sucks
I converted it wmv and it sucks still artifacting, bogging down, won't play, and crash. The effects won't install which is the minor problem.
Tried on XP and Vista both with a 1 gig of ram.
Sucks
I guess I will wait till I can save some cash.

Sorry you are having so much trouble. Do you get regular upgrades for your Microsoft products including Vista? My Movie Maker results were very sketchy and sometimes frustrating in the beginning, but all of a sudden all was well. I suspect there was a fix in one of the automatic upgrades that seem to come through the Web several times each week.
Don't give up yet. Mine works. So yours can too.

I use it exclusively as well, make sure your not using internet explorer 7 or higher it messes it up some reason, took me a while ot figure it out. Besides all the kool kids are using firefox :-). If you have them installed lose em. (ie 7 or 8) I'm sure theres better programs but the simplicity and effectiveness is mirrored by none, I've tried a bunch.

When you are editing, turn off every program and application that you can. Switch your Airporter (if you have a laptop) Internet access off. Close any browsers. Run Disk Cleanup (Start - Programs - Accessories - System Tools - Disk Cleanup) and get rid of any cr@p. Restart the computer.
Now...start editing. Save as you go. Save at the end. Restart the computer BEFORE YOU PUBLISH. Make sure a bunch of programs/apps don't auto start or turn them off now. THEN...open your WMM file and publish (convert) the video. Use "Best Quality Playback For My Computer" setting. Click "Publish". Pray.
Cheers!
