    movie maker has very limited format support. Vegas (pro at least) should support pretty much anything in common use, and all professional formats.

    Well, I'm thinking of either buying a new camera or finding a way to use my Videos from my camera on sony vegas without losing sound, but MOD files are the only thing my camera has, and if I use it on any other video maker the quality goes down big time.

    final post. It seems that .mod is compatible with very little.

    that will come in handy. Thank you!
    is it really that much better? I might just get it for some quick simpple stuff that renders fast, because all of my sonyvegas rendering settings I googled to render quickly upload very slow on youtube, while wmm videos I make for simple stuff upload quickly.


    ok that makes sense, thanks I guess I'll just use vegas for big projects and and tiny projects while WMM just for simple uploads.

    sony vegas outputs much higher quality and thus the larger files take longer to upload. Windows media format is designed to produce the smallest possible files without regard for quality, so you get files that upload very quickly but the quality has been completely raped. (which is then made even worse by youtube converting to FLV)

    Slower renders will usually result in smaller files (because the compression is higher).

    I use vegas 8 pro.

    Also please refrain from using shorthand such as 'u'. It screws up online translators and makes it difficult for people who aren't native English speakers to understand.

    Well, after upgrading to Windows 7, the Movie Maker I used isn't on it, so I upgraded to Vegas Pro...which I don't like, but I don't have a choice. I hate Live Movie Maker.

    Depending on what your going to use it for, there's a wide variety of software out there. Most that are mentioned here are lame to moderately good. But great software alone won't make it happen, you need superior hardware too.

    Check here for good info on this topic http://www.doom9.org/

    Apparently you didn't read much when you were there, it does cover editing, ripping, encoding and more. It has good info for noobs who are trying to learn about the whole proccess, after all anybody can whack out parts they don't want with any cheesy editor, it's the encoding that counts!

    Not to mention they offer tuts on using freeware apps and where to get them.

    maybe you're talking about holiday videos. I'm talking about professional level video editing.

    If it's Pixar, Dreamworks, etc quality, yes there's not much there, but if a person's making this kind of video, he should already know what he's doing.

    Besides, most folks don't have the resources to affford the hardware and/or the software for that kind of editing/encoding. Sony vegas is good, but not that good.

    If it's youtube, hyperspin .flv's or some kind shockwave game intro, then you'll find useful info about the proccess.
