MSWMM to AVI

[anabelle]

Is there a quick way to export a MSWMM (windows movie maker project) to AVI, besides Windows movie maker's export tool.

It tells me 800 Minutes

thx

There are quite a few tools that do this. Why do you want to convert it to avi? What is the end result you are trying to achieve. Are you wanting to edit it and make a svcd, or a dvd?

Unless I'm mistaken or out of date, there is only ONE program that can use MSWMM files, and that's Windows Movie Maker itself. Remember, a MSWMM file isn't a movie, it's a project EDL--a SCRIPT on which files are to be used and how the files are to be edited. When you Render/Export the timeline (which is a visual representation of the edits in the script), then and only then do you have a movie.

My target is making a dvd in adobe encore

but when i try exporting to avi it looks fine until 56% aprox when it displays an application error. "La memoria no se puede read"

That's something that needs to be looked into...could be a filesystem limitation (FAT32, non-OpenDML AVI, etc) or it could be a data corruption (in the disc/media, or filesystem/file, or MSWMM EDL) or it could be a bug in the program. Or other things.

A possible work-around for now--can you split the project into 2 smaller projects? (Part1 + Part2). If you can export each of those separate parts successfully, you can always join the DV files later in an AVI join utility, or just encode with TMPGEnc using the "append" feature.
