Audacity

For some reason, I was having great difficult downloading Movie Maker. I kept getting a message saying that it was not compatible with Vista. Then I realized I already have it!! It must have come preinstalled on my computer. I felt very smart after all of that.

Then I couldn't convert my video from .mov to .wmv. I downloaded a free trial of a converter, but it would only convert 20% since it's a trial version. At that point, I gave up and decided to work with my audio file instead. I experimeted with editing my file in Audacity. I made some cuts and spliced segments together, so the file posted here might not make sense at all in some places. Overall, I think Audacity seems user friendly and is not too difficult to learn.

  1. I hear you! I couldn't convert my movie file either. Rather, rather frustrating! I only hope that it works with Transana tomorrow.

    PS. I'm not sure you file actually posted.

    but, since movie maker comes with vista (good to know), from now on when you make a movie using your computer, it should be in the right format. And no worries about Transana because it works with .mov. :)
    See you tonight!
