Windows Movie Maker
Windows Me
The first release was included with Windows Me in 2000. However it was not available for Windows 2000, which was released in the same year as Me (2000). Version 1.1 was included in XP in 2001.
Windows 2000
While Windows 2000 does not come with Windows Movie Maker, it is still possible run the Windows Me version of Movie Maker on Windows 2000. If the Movie Maker program files are copied from Windows ME and transferred to Windows 2000, the application will run perfectly.
Windows XP
Version 1.1 was included in Windows XP a year later, and included support for creating DV AVI and WMV 8 files. Version 2.0 was released as a free update in November 2002, and added a number of new features. Version 2.1, a minor update, is included in Windows XP Service Pack 2. Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 introduced a new version of Windows Movie Maker, 2.5, with more transitions and support for DVD burning.
Windows Vista
A WPF version was included in some builds of Windows “Longhorn” (now Windows Vista), but was removed in the development reset.
Version 6.0 of Windows Movie Maker in Windows Vista includes new effects and transitions, and support for the DVR-MS file format that Windows Media Center records television in. The HD version in Premium and Ultimate editions of Windows Vista adds support for capturing from HDV camcorders. The capture wizard will create DVR-MS type files from HDV tapes. However, the Windows Vista version of Windows Movie Maker no longer supports importing video from an analog video source such as an analog camcorder, VCR or from a webcam.
Some systems might not be able to run the new version of Windows Movie Maker. Therefore, Microsoft has also released an updated older version 2.6 for Windows Vista on the Microsoft Download Center. This version includes the old effects and transitions, and is basically the same as Windows Movie Maker 2.1, but without the ability to capture video. Installation requires Windows Vista and is only intended for use on computers where the hardware accelerated version cannot be run.
Windows 7
In Windows 7, the latest iteration of Windows, Windows Movie Maker is no longer included in favor of its counterpart Windows Live Movie Maker, which is based on a different code base and has different functionalities. However, users have unofficially ported Windows Movie Maker from Windows Vista to Windows 7. This method works for all versions of Windows Movie Maker including the Windows Vista version if a computer’s hardware supports it. Windows Movie Maker 2.6 also works in Windows 7:
Layout
The layout consists of a storyboard view and a timeline view, collections for organizing imported video, and a preview pane. When in Storyboard view, the video project appears as a film strip showing each scene in clips. The storyboard/timeline consists of one ‘Video’ (with accompanying ‘Audio’ bar), one ‘Music/Audio’ bar, and one ‘Titles/Credits’ bar. In each bar, clips can be added for editing (e.g., a .WAV music file will belong on the ‘Music/Audio’ bar). Still images can also be imported into the timeline and “stretched” to any desired number of frames. The Video and Music/Audio bars can be “cut” to any number of short segments, which will play together seamlessly, but the individual segments are isolated editing-wise, so that for example, the music volume can be lowered for just a few seconds while someone is speaking.
Importing footage
When importing footage into the program, a user can either choose to Capture Video (from camera, scanner or other device) or Import into Collections to import existing video files into the user’s collections. The accepted formats for import are .WMV/.ASF, .MPG (MPEG-1), .AVI (DV-AVI), .WMA, .WAV, and .MP3. Additionally, the Windows Vista Home Premium and Ultimate editions of Movie Maker support importing MPEG-2 Program streams and DVR-MS formats. Importing of other container formats such as MP4/3GP, FLV and MOV, MIDI, AIFF, AAC and SWF are not supported even if the necessary DirectShow decoders are installed.
When importing from a DV tape, if the “Make Clips on Completion” option is selected, Windows Movie Maker automatically flags the commencement of each scene, so that the tape appears on the editing screen as a collection of short clips, rather than one long recording. That is, at each point where the “Record” button was pressed, a new “clip” is generated. However, the actual recording on the hard drive is still one continuous file. This feature is also offered after importing files already on the hard drive. In the Windows Vista version, the “Make clips on completion” option has been removed the clips are now automatically created during the capture process.
The efficiency of the importing and editing process is heavily dependent on the amount of file fragmentation of the hard disk. The most reliable results can be obtained by adding an extra hard disk dedicated for scratch space, and regularly re-formatting/defragmenting it, rather than simply deleting the files at the end of the project. Fragmented AVI files result in jerky playback on the editing screen, and make the final rendering process much longer.
Although it is possible to import digital video from cameras through the USB interface, most older cameras only support USB version 1 and the results tend to be poor “sub VHS” quality. Newer cameras using USB 2.0 give much better results. A FireWire interface camera will allow recording and playback of images identical in quality to the original recordings if the video is imported and subsequently saved as DV AVI files, although this consumes disk space at about 1 gigabyte every five minutes (12GB/Hr). Alternatively, most DV cameras allow the final AVI file to be recorded back onto the camera tape for high quality playback. Some standalone DVD recorders will also directly accept DV inputs from video cameras and computers.
Editing and output
After capture, any clip can be dragged and dropped anywhere on the timeline. Once on the timeline, clips can be duplicated or split, and any of the split sections deleted or copied using the standard Windows keyboard shortcuts or clicked and dragged to another position. Right-clicking any clip brings up the range of editing options. An AutoMovie feature offers predefined editing styles (titles, effects and transitions) for quickly creating movies.
Like all non-linear editing systems, the original camera file on the hard drive is not modified in any way; the current project file is really just a list of instructions for re-recording a final output video file from the original file. Thus, several different versions of the same video can be simultaneously made from the original camera footage.
Windows Movie Maker can only export video in Windows Media formats or DV AVI. It includes some predefined profiles, however, users can create custom profiles which utilize newer codecs using Windows Media Profile Editor (part of Windows Media Encoder 9 Series) and copy those profiles to the %Program Files%Movie MakerSharedProfiles folder for them to be used in Windows Movie Maker. ‘In order for the custom profiles to show up, users must go to File > Publish Movie. Tasks > Publish Movie will not show any custom profiles.
Earlier versions of Windows Movie Maker did not support direct burning of DVD-Video to a disc. The project had to be first saved as an AVI file and then run through a separate authoring program, such as a basic authoring program included with a DVD drive, to produce and burn the DVD. The Windows XP Media Center Edition version bundled the Sonic DVD Burning engine, licensed from Sonic Solutions, to author and burn the DVD. The Windows Vista version of Windows Movie Maker passes the video project to Windows DVD Maker.
Video can be exported back to the video camera if supported by the camera. Movie Maker also allows users to publish a finished video on video hosting websites.
Windows Movie Maker can also be used to edit and publish audio tracks. If no video or image is present, then it is possible to simply export the sound clips as a .wma file.
Effects and transitions
Versions 2.x included in Windows XP includes 60 transitions, 37 effects, 34 title and 9 credits animations. The Windows Vista version includes a different set of transitions, effects and title/credits animations while dropping a few older ones. There are in all 49 effects and 63 transitions. They are applied by using a drag and drop interface from the effects or transitions folders. Titles and credits can be added as stand alone titles or overlaying them on the clip by adding them onto the selected clip. Titles range from static (non-animated) titles to fly in, fading, news banner, or spinning newspaper animations. And, because of the flexible interface, programming custom effects and other content is possible for version 2.0 and higher using XML. The Windows Vista version supports Direct3D-based effects. Microsoft also provides SDK documentation for custom effects and transitions. Since the effects are XML based, users can create and add custom effects and transitions of their own with XML knowledge.
Reception and criticism
Movie Maker 1.0, introduced with Windows Me, was widely criticised for being “bare bones” and suffering “a woeful lack of features”; and saving movies only in Microsoft’s ASF file format. However, critical reception of versions 2.0 and 2.6 has been more positive.
In June 2008, a memo purportedly by Bill Gates from January 2003 was circulated on the Internet in which he heavily criticized the downloading process for Movie Maker at the time. The memo was originally made available online as part of the plaintiffs’ evidence in Comes vs. Microsoft, an antitrust class-action suit, and was submitted as evidence in that case on January 16, 2007.

Windows Media Center Remote Control Problem.?
I am trying to set up my set top box with Windows Vista Media Center. I get as far as setting up the set top box remote control where ti tells me what is not recognized. I then select the only remaining option:
Have Windows Media Center learn my remote from scratch.
I select this option and MC asks me to press and hold the 1 button up to the IR receiver. I do this and nothing happens.
If anybody has any ideas that would be great.
I can trick MC into thinking i do not have a set top box, but that means i have to change the channel manually. This means i cannot record television.
Describe, in detail, how you have things hooked-up.
