If at first you don't succeed, give up!

I really should stop doing that *g*. I remember playing with Windows Movie Maker one evening on mum's laptop (before we got the new computer with XP), and finding it useless and giving up on it.

Been looking at it again over the past day or so, and liking it a lot more for editing video files. And you can screencap quite nicely with it too. Interesting...

I've got a 90 meg avi of a cute twelve minute interview with Nsync in 1999, ripped from the Nsyncland dvd. I could cut just the cutest bits (JoLa touching! Primitive grooming rituals amongst boybanders! Mocking of Chris!) and try and share them (I have a smal amount of webspace and bandwidth, and while I'm not working regularly, can't really justify buying some), but the whole interview is pretty good. I wish there was an Nsync Hub too, though my download limit would not cope given how addicted I've become to the BSB Hub *g*. Though I'm always happy to share via AIM, when I remember to login (I'm getting better, honest). Though I still suck at remembering to check whether my status is set at away or back *g*.

iibnf, calemiri and meelie did visit on Saturday, and much fun was had, especially re-experiencing the early 90's with viewing of the Best Bits of the Late Show dvds. Well, I had fun :)

We're hosting my brother's engagement party next weekend. Up to 80 guests. Kill me now.

I have some free webspace with bigpond that I don't use at all. Primarily because I don't know how and have nothing to put there *g*. You are welcome to use that if you wish. Email me and I'll give you the details etc.

PS: Today is the second last DC. Tomorrow is the final.

You are welcome to use that if you wish.

Thanks! :)

And ta for the heads up - maybe if I try watching it on tv I'll actually watch all of it, which I've failed to do with the mpegs :)

Hmm. So how does one acquire this Windows Movie Maker? Because, you know, Premiere still HATES ME, and the feeling is rapidly becoming mutual.

It was bundled with XP. Which, given our recent conversation about XP, I think is no help to you ;)

I've got no idea if it is available separately, sorry. There's more to it than I thought, you can tweak audio and video on individual clips and do transistions and stuff[1]. Don't know if you can save in anything but .wmv though.

[1]Oh yeah, I know what-the-fuck I'm talking about. Not.
