Never edited with WMM myself, heard bad things though. If its just the length of time thats taking you to edit it.. thats different for most people. Dont try to base it on how quick you can get it done. "Good" editing programs are also user defined (for the most part). I use Adobe Premiere Pro 7.0 many other users on the .org prefer different programs. Check the software reviews on the org member page here. If you want you can find Adobe products here to buy or to try.

It can be, but depending on the codec you use to output the segments you could have a bit or a lot of quality loss.BasharOfTheAges wrote:WMM is a buggy program, plain and simple.
Are you havign problems saving or exporting? If it's the former you're screwed. The later can be solved by exporting in 2 segments around the area it seems to get hung up on and stiching them together. That is... if this can actually be done in WMM... anyone?

1. Select the segment to be saved.
2. Save the segment with either DV-AVI or if you've installed Windows Media Encoder, Uncompressed WMV*.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until done.
4. Load the segments into WMM and output your final video.
* there is a supposed bug with importing Uncompressed WMV back into WMM, I haven't confirmed it.
Here is a good resource for editing with WMM: http://papajohn.org/

Method 4: Save the Movie in Smaller Sections
Save the movie in one half, or one third sections. This reduces the complexity of the storyboard or timeline by reducing the number of individual clips that appear on the storyboard or timeline. To save the movie in smaller portions, follow these steps:
Part 1: Remove and Save One Section of the Movie
1. Select a portion of the items in the storyboard or timeline.
2. On the Edit menu, click Cut.
3. On the File menu, click Save Movie File.
Note This saves the portion of the movie that is still on the timeline or storyboard, not the section that you cut in step 2.
4. In the Save Movie Wizard, follow the on-screen instructions to complete the save process.
5. In the Movie Setting dialog box of the Save Movie Wizard, click Show more choices.
6. Click Other settings, click High video quality (large), and then click Next.
NOTE: Doing step 6 this way will make you lose some quality. If you select DV-AVI (NTSC) it may be better, but there is still some loss. The best selection is uncompressed WMV, but to use it requires installing Windows Media Encoder (found here: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/window ... fault.mspx) and some time setting it up. http://papajohn.org/MM2-SavingMovies-Cu ... files.html
Part 2: Import the Portion and Save the Whole Movie
1. When the Save Movie Wizard is complete, on the File menu, click Import into Collections.
2. Click the file that you saved in steps 3 through 5 of Part 1, and then click Import.
3. In the Select File to Import dialog box, click the file that you saved, and then click Import.
4. Click the area of the storyboard where you want to insert the file.
5. On the Edit menu, click Paste.
6. On the File menu, click Save Movie File.
7. Follow the instructions in the Save Movie Wizard.
8. Click to clear the Show movie when I click Finish dialog box, and then click Finish.
If the problem continues to occur, repeat this method to divide the movie into smaller portions.
