Aspect ratio in Windows Movie Maker?

Yes, all you have to do is set your Movie Maker settings so that it knows that you are working on a widescreen project.  Go to Tools > Options > Advanced and look for the section on 'Aspect Ratio'.  Change it from 4:3 (fullscreen) to 16:9 (widescreen).

movie maker does not format all video format, what you can do is to convert to video to a format supported by movie maker.

If you are using Windows, Paint is the best way AFAIK. Open Paint and then under Image select Stretch/Skew.

Import your movie into Windows Movie Maker.  At the points where you have the photos make a split point at the beginning and end (Clip > Split).  Then just delete the photo in between.\n\nYou might also check your video camera and see if there is a way to turn off the export of photos or to delete the photos... it sounds like you have a camera that records the photos onto the tape, so that might not be possible, but at least the WMM editing should fix things.

Simple. There are two ways.\nFirst: Import the file into Window Movie maker. Go to the certain frame you want to capture and there should be a little camera. You can figure out the rest of that.\n\nSecond: Pause the movie on the frame you want, then press the PrintScreen/SysRq button. Open up MSPaint and paste the screenshot. Edit the borders and you're done.

There are limits to file compression utilities. If the file is huge, make a new smaller version of it in Windows Movie Maker. Open WMM and import your vid, drag it onto the timeline, then save it as a smaller file - there will be plenty of options, and it will tell you the approx size of the new file.\n\nDC :)

Use NeroVision express..\nThe movie automatically gets compressed according to the requirements with almost zero quality reduction.

Good News:  Most of the "moviemaker" software products (e.g. WinDVD Creator) will let you grab a frame into a still shot.\n\nBad News:  Most of the video taken by home camcorders or digital cameras is of relatively low resolution, and makes a pretty bad still photo.

If you have a MPEG or AVI file that you want to split up - for instance just to upload a small taster sample to a website, then things couldn't be easier - with XP you can do so for free.\nSimply load up Windows Movie Maker, and load up your MPEG or AVI.\nLet's say you want to just have the first minute of a five minute piece of film... easy!\nOnce loaded, fast forward to the place where you want to cut, and click the icon (usually in the bottom right) 'split in two at this point'. And there you go - you have two sections - simply discard the bit you don't want to keep and save the other!\nTip: add a fade out to both sound and video tracks over the last few seconds of the clip to make it seem more professional and make the stop less abrupt.

I have a widescreen laptop that stretched photos and movies making everything look freaky! When I checked my display settings, they were set to 1024 x 768 instead of 1280 x 800. Once I changed the settings, everything was in proportion. Hope that helps!

Win/Avi/Dvd converter\n\nhttp://www.winavi.com/en/products.htm\n\nBut most movies will not fit on a single disk (usually takes 2 regular cdr's), this program cuts the movie at 600megs. This is if you are using cdr's opposed to dvdr. Cdr allows you to create vcd's which are playable on all dvd players but use normal cds. \n\nYou can use nero to add a title screen and chapters too if you want.

A simple way would be to use a photo editor like Microsoft Photo or Adobe Photoshop or even Microsoft Paint that comes with Windows.  Each of these has the ability to change the resolution and size of the file.

If you want to know how to set the length of each photo clip: all you have to do is drag the start or stop time of each clip in the timeline to the desired length.\n\nIf you want to know how to set the default length of each photo you drag into the timeline: in Windows Movie Maker, simply click on the 'View' menu at the top of the screen --> click 'Options...' --> under 'General' there is a box labeled 'Default imported photo duration (seconds):'; you can set it anywhere from 1 to 60 (the default is 5).\n\nIf you want a blank screen for a period of time between each picture: although I don't know of any feature in Windows Movie Maker that allows you to do this, you could easily create a black (or any other color) picture using MS Paint, save it, import it into WMM, and drag it between your existing pictures. You may want to size the height and width of the picture you create to the same size as the other pictures in your slideshow--the pictures in the slide show may look stretched if you don’t, depending on how WMM handles it. If you want uniform pauses between pictures (that aren't 5 seconds) without manually resizing the duration of them, use the instructions above for setting the default length of each photo.\n\nI hope this answer contains the information you are looking for--if not, please add additional details and I will see if I can help you out.
