Just read your guide... I'm curious. Why shouldn't I use *.wmv extensions for my AMVs? Is there a particular reason? Because my first AMV wasn't too bd, and it used that extension... :?

Because, even if the quality is great, people tend to avoid downloading .WMVs because they've traditionally been associated with low quality and small filesizes, probably due to the fact that so many people make videos in Windows Movie Maker seemingly without knowing <a href="/guides/avtechbeta/wmm2export/">how to get a decent-quality version out of it</a>.

I suspect the association also has something to do with WMV's being commonly used for streaming video, which also generally means low quality and small filesize.

Argh, forgot to mention that .WMVs can also be a pain to play back on non-Windows platforms, so compatibility also suffers.

I have been making AMV's for like 3 years and I think I'm pretty good compared to most of the stuff I've seen. But here is my problem. I want to put it online in it's own little site so I can eneter it in a contest or two, but I have no idea how to work html or any of that other stuff.
Is there a place where I can just upload the amv, and have some words that talk about it without having to use all that special mumbo jumbo................If not, How about some step by step directions, if it's not too much trouble...remember I have no idea what I'm doing!
indeeeeeeeed!

All I can say is that everyone has a talent, some of them more than others I guess. :)

Please refer to the following thread.

A number of the links names have changed from what is shown in the image I post later in the thread. The changes however are for the better and they should be a little more apparent now. Hope this helps.

So if I do this in Windows Movie Maker 2, I will be hated? Cool. I'm down with that.
And it'll be a .WMV? Even cooler. More hate-time action!

My latest upload was a .WMV and I thought the encode turned out very well. Granted, it wasn't edited on WMM2 and I'm far from a novice, but that should show that more often than not it's not the file format or the software, but the experience of the editor that causes problems. That's why these guides are here to help folks out.
