But a 30 day trial is always good.. will try that one when the two i'm testing now have either killed my pc totally or have ruined the avi's i've already got :p

Thanks Gaz... you're a star [img]Download Failed (1)[/img]

hiya

thanks for hugs

- have a look at the guy who pays the bills, though - it looks good?

sounds more like a small hard drive, than memory, to me

-

well more memory will help a small drive perform better, but you would be better upgrading both!

A small hard drive,yes.I've got a bigger one to fit,but I need to move these video files or lose them.
It's 20 G with 3.5 G spare,but over the past week I've been getting window's messages saying that there's insufficient memory.Several programmes have crashed as a result.
I'll be using my 7 days trial.

the only one I've ever tried was Ulead Video Studio, version 5 at the time. It was quite easy to use & produced good results. Latest version is 7 - but it costs $90!!!

There is a 30 day "free trial" download available at

http://www.ulead.com/vs/trial.htm

- over 70 meg though!

Gaz

Well gaz.... since the free trial period of my last experiment has expired.... i'm now testing yours.... all 75 mbs

Since you've actually tried the earlier version, i thought i'd give it a go.... looks very professional so far....
Will let you know if it does what i hope..... or more

:p

Thanks for the idea!

Microsoft Movie Maker

Thats Free.

Thanks. I am downloading it this very minute.

I have a temporary interest in avi editors. Why? Because my new digital camera will take short avi clips. Unfortunately, I kept forgetting that if you hold the camera sideways then you really need to stand your monitor on its side to see the clip properly!

I found a couple of avi editors that would rotate the clip, but they both removed the sound. I then found a programme that would strip the sound from the original clip, but I have yet to find a program that will successfully join the silent rotated clip and the sound together. Hence my interest in trying the MS program.

I haven't got WinXP on this pc and it's the one that i use most.... so the MS program was a no-no

But let me know how you get on... could d/l it for the laptop... but i have now tried the one that gaz suggested and while it's a big file.... the little i've tried seems really good

It's the http://www.ulead.com/vs/trial.htm one . Very professional.. so far..... but i haven't realy tried a huge amount with it.... but i may end up going with that one and paying the full whack... will see.... not sure i'll kazaa it... too many people i know have been caught out badly that way

After my recent experiences, I think I'll give up!

As I said, I wanted to join a soundless rotated avi clip and its separated wav sound file. MS Movie Maker succesfully joined the two together, but it converted it from portrait to landscape mode (without rotating it), which means that the people in it now appeared as dumpy dwarfs! Despite the fact that they were now the right way up and speaking it wasn't quite what I wanted!

More worryingly, I found out that MS Explorer was now partially crippled. Now this may have been because I'd also just downloaded the latest batch of MS security patches because of the W32Blaster worm scare. In any event, I used the XP System Restore to get me back to the point before I loaded Movie Maker, which seemed to solve the problem.
