Great, now just add how to convert a file from an avi that won't work in wmm to something that will. This faq pretty much says don't, but it doesn't say what to do if thats what you have.

use those to mark the beginning and the end of the "clips" you want so you can save room

One of the easyest fixes i have been able to tell people havein probs with WMM/WMM2 is USE VDub, do - streams/stream list [disable audio].

as for Video, just Video *streaming video

alot of people think that 100% of the problem starts with video codecs in windows crap system, this is not intirely true... audio muted in wmm still requres the codec for it to play, this causes mass histaria with the gerble keeping your dell from crashing wmm, ram helps always, but mainly the audio on video is your downfall, i have people cheer when they can drop 500 clips at once just to test it, 5% cpu useage? YAY

so thats what ive done to save people, aslo FFDshow is crap for all editors so if ya got that yer almost totaly screwd with wmm.

Also, wmm for vista can do VOB and MKV now, no real issues with vista when it comes to audio/video now.
Because you are good at amv's dosent meen you can't get yer arse kicked.

Not if you disable ffdshow's support for any codecs that you already have separately. It's a simple precaution, and it allows you to keep ffdshow around for playing back stuff you might not be otherwise able to handle.

case in point, instal something just to turn 90% of it off... weak
theres easyer codec packs that are more stable you dont even have to tweak, but round abouts FFDshow and WMM do not work well together.
