Okay, my turn to ask a question...
Everybody suggests saving as DV, since it always works. But I've noticed that on my computers, saving as DV doesn't work properly. The sound and video are both messed up, usually where effects (like speed mods) are concerned. I tested this theory by encoding a DV, then replacing its glitchy audio with the exact same audio file used in WMM... and voila, it desynched. Thus, both the audio and video are messed up.
So does anyone have an effective way of encoding as DV? I'd love to be able to work on a whole video at once and save it as a huge file (no worries about HD space here), but I'd need that file to be... well, what I created.
Side Note:
I was working on re-making a prototype AMV a few days ago. Originally I had a few clips for the intro, then a huge clip with the rest of the scenes for the end. It encoded fine. This time around I made clips for every scene change, put in all the clips exactly where they were before, then synched up the intro as I had done before. But this time, I got the "timeline too complex" encoder error.
I ran into this error first on Elfen Lied... I thought it was just because I used so many effects. After all, my videos that were DDR-length (Ippo, BISHF) never had encoding problems. But now, I think that simply having a full-length song causes WMM to fail encoding.
System Specs:
HP Pavillion s7320n Slimline
Windows XP Media Center Edition, SP2
1GB RAM
200 GB HD (Virtual Memory on auto)
1.6 GHz Celeron
Intel Integrated 82915G/GV/910GL 128 MB Graphics
So I'm kinda surprised that I'm hitting a complexity barrier so quickly...
