Hello!

Below is a link to my latest video, "Amen." If you like early Madonna and Hellsing, then please check it out.

I'll check it out, but is there a possibility you could make a better-quality export? A 346Kbps WMV doesn't inspire me with confidence...

OMG 80's Madonna and... Hellsing?

I'm definately interested in this combination for some bizarre reason.

"Like a Prayer" is by no stretch of the imagination "early" Madonna.

"Lucky Star," now that's early Madonna.

Damn kids.

I'm getting the vid despite that historical nitpick.

Your video was pretty good, real original. But the video and sound quality wasn't good at all. You know, WMV, you have to be following some pretty genius guides to get good quality from WMM.

To everyone who's looked at this post: Thank you. I'm happy to entertain your curiosity for a sec. Also, much thanks for taking the time to watch this video and reply in the forum. My friends will also be excited since this is our third video.

Sarahtheboring: Sorry to lump "Like a Prayer" in with "Lucky Star". (I've got them on the same CD, but it is a collection.

)

Scintilla: Does "better quality export" refer to the format? As in wmv or avi or somthing like that? If so, then I will remember with following videos to make more than one type. If not, then please explain.

Themaan: I've tried WMM with my first video and I disliked it so much that I scrapped the lot and started over with Pinnacle Studio8. (But I make wmv files because it's all my computer will play--I'd like to see it when I'm done.

) In the "make movie" tab, I chose the second best quality option. I used the worst with my first, the next to worst with my second and I felt this was the third level. This weekend, I want to replace this video with the "Best Quality" option and see the difference.

Thank you everyone for the tips. I will definately apply them to our next attempt.

Much love,
Minx

Partially. You can have crappy AVIs and you can have good-looking WMVs; it's all a matter of the settings you use. I'll elaborate later.

Somewhere in Pinnacle's export settings, there should be some kind of custom option that lets you pick your codec, resolution, etc. ... if you can, you really should export a lossless (read: HuffYUV), full-resolution copy of your video, and compress it to DivX/XviD AVI using VirtualDubMod or MPEG-1 using TMPGEnc.

For more on this, I suggest the relevant sections of EADBAG:
