I rate this everytime I come in here. I'll be back.

[sparkleplenty101]

OK Frank no.w. My computer will not open a mpeg, avi, or mov It uses wmv, mp3, or jpeg. I can view an avi and watch it on the other fellows screen but WMM will not play it. I will buy the software tomorrow and download a "grabber now." Thanks for the answers and keep em' comming.

[THEVirtualFrank]

Now for both of you several items exist in the software realm to convert both video and audio. For Sparkle she has a lot more options than Raw does...sorry Raw! I hope I've answered both questions if not feel free to hit me up again! Thanks for viewing!

[sparkleplenty101]

Frank, can you come over or can you make another video aboutt? 1. How to change files in windows movie maker, or is there such an animal? 2. How do you capture video from another source even if it does not want you to do so and make it play in WMM or realtime. 3. How to save target even if it doesn't want you to? I'll send a plane ticket....

[THEVirtualFrank]

Well thanks Sparkle where am I headed! If you check the comment below the same applies to the movie maker software. As for capturing the video from another source that usually requires a capture device such as add on video card or like a dazzle capture tool.

[FootLongSub]

Just for this simple post you've helped me a great deal..... THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! :-)

[THEVirtualFrank]

[THEVirtualFrank]

as opposed to internet explorer...hit the windows key + "E"

[inufanmatt]

I was looking for help similar to this video, but with saved videos and mp3 file sort of like a montage, I used Vegas Movie Studio, and the file format saved to .vs I think? How Can I change it?

[THEVirtualFrank]

Ok Raw, I'm not familiar with Vegas movie studio however most programs have an export feature in the save/save as box. AVI and MPEG are common formats to save as you probably already know. My suggestion is to open your project and see if a save as feature exists!

[lolpop611]

it doesn't let me uncheck the box

[THEVirtualFrank]

uncheck what box?

[ignorantshinobi]

[alonelikarl]
