how do you make your video widescreen on windows movie maker?

[bigsweaty15]

@chickachicka54 When you're publishing the video and you get to the video settings screen, instead of saving for best quality for playback on the computer, go to more settings and save as Windows Media DVD Widescreen Quality. Just make sure that you are actually filming in widescreen or you'll get the black bars on the sides of the video.

Hey dude does this thing have a light or night vision?

[bigsweaty15]

Good question! No it doesn't. But it can took pretty good low-light video. I was really disappointed that it didn't have night vision, but if you set your exposure right and have a little bit of light (like moonlight or a street light) you can get pretty good night shots.
