    Question to video makers

    I don't have any special software or anything, so I tried using Windows Movie Maker. When I put BR files into it though, the quality (which is pretty decent) of them turn terrible. I assume it's because Movie Maker isn't exactly the best software :P. So my question to you is what do you use to make & edit your videos?

    I used the WeGame video client to capture video from Battlerecorder. I then used Windows Movie Maker to edit.

    I use 2 different editing programs. For general, quicky, editing I use A nero program. For good looking stuff, I use Adobe Premier. I've used WMM before and it's actually able to produce good quality AVIs. You ought to be able to change the output format to get the desired quality.

    Re: Question to video makers

    Ah, I was gonna get around to some editing. I have 2 clips from ages ago where one was something interesting but short + unedited, and 1 that was just me testing what I could do with relatively uninteresing 1 min footage or something. I used Windows Movie Maker for that and it came out ok, could of been better.

    Anyway...as I was saying I have just started looking into free alternatives for recording and editing to find out what was best, sorry I can't help Inferno, it could have been simple but unfortunately I came across a problem for my new computer: the audio recording feature isn't there. I've read up and it appears sound card company's have had pressure to remove it, so some have, and others like Creative have just hidden it and its easy to find if you know where. But I don't have a Creative sound card so immah a bit screwed.

    Currently looking into a sound recorder program that records from the programs individually and not directly from the computer or some-such
    And a virtual sound card which isn't working yet :S

    If anyone could point me in the right direction for this problem it would be appreciated.

    I capture the BR video with FRAPS. Then I use WMM to edit. I save them as 720p so I can upload them to YouTube for HQ (&fmt=22)

    Cap with FRAPS, use Adobe to Edit then DivX Converter to Convert. Of course I also learned to use that software.

    The "ugly" thing you see is indeed your output format. Liek cooling said try putting it out to 720p to get better results in WMM

    Re: Question to video makers

    My windows movie maker crashes like crazy after nearly every edit, and I haven't found another free solution yet. I've tried VideoGlue, but it's..... not for me. I need something good, as WWM is driving me nuts!!!!
