How to create custom output formats for Windows Movie Maker (ex: lossless)

[MalmerDK]

Thanks, dude. Quick and to the point, you just saved me an evening.

Another option is to create a copy of an already existing profile and editing it !

[viraj2k]

I tried a lot of times initially but it did not work.I was about to give up but gave it a try for the last time and it seems to work.Maybe windows movie maker remembers the profiles and somehow fails to load a new one.The best option would be to logoff/logon or reboot after a new profile has been created, hope this helps !

Windows Live Movie Maker suck!! Don't even download it! Only download Windows Movie Maker 2.6 or 6.0 for vista to use it on Windows 7.

How do I use this to make it mono audio?

[HowToHDTutorials]

@DutchGameowner Yeah me too! WTF????

[Bednesti38]

How can I do this on Vista? (I have windows 7 but I use the movie maker from vista)

[thecheaterdude]

[thecheaterdude]

Can you create a lossless prx file for me and host it at rapidshare or file upload?

Because the program doesn't work with me.

I've added a link in the description. Tell me if you need a different resolution / framerate / ...

[KSX387]

@Stormtrooper042 Hey thanks.

Can you create one with Resoloution: 1024x768

Framerate: 60FPS

Lossless Audio

Lossless Video

i get the lossless audio part but what about the video? I don't see it done here unless someone can explain to me. i really don't want to lose any more quality when publishing a movie

[Stormtrooper042]

In the first tab, choose "Quality VBR" for the video. In the second tab, set the video quality to 100.

Now, is it mathematically lossless? I don't know, but there isn't any visible quality loss.

Ok, I have the newest WLMM version, it doesn't find the profile, but it also doesn't give me the option for custom output settings for some reason, i've noticed screenshots of "custom settings" under the sharing group but it never says "custom settings"for me. Just the default output settings. How can i get my wlmm to work?

[Twisted4000]

ITS NOT WORKING FOR ME!!!! I save it and everything, but Windows Live Movie Maker just can't even find the file I save! HELP!!!

[Stormtrooper042]

@Twisted4000

What's the output resolution you selected? I found out that Movie Maker doesn't like every resolution, and when a profile contains a resolution it doesn't like, then this profile is simply not displayed.

This is also the reason why I don't use the option "same as input", because if your input video has a "fancy" resolution, you won't be able to use your custom profile.

[Stormtrooper042]

@Twisted4000

Also, I've just noticed that in the last Windows Live Beta, you can't use Windows Media Profiles...

Does your version of Movie Maker says "Beta"?

Anyway, with this new version, you can choose custom output settings directly from Movie Maker. There's no "lossless" or "variable bitrate" option, but you can choose a high bitrate.

[Twisted4000]

ddint' work for me.... i did everything, but it just cant find it!

[guzguz21]

Does is work under Windows 7? I know that's your OS but MS site says it's not supported.

[Stormtrooper042]

@guzguz21

Yes, Windows Media Encoder 9 was made for XP, but it works on 7, too.

[guzguz21]

@Stormtrooper042 Yeah thanks. I tried it already and it worked great.

[HaykInWonderland]

Thank you!
