From: Terry Pinnell on 14 Sep 2005 08:21 I make the occasional brief WMV file using 'movie' mode of my digital camera. These play on my PC. (BTW, I used to use WMP, but re-associated WMV with IrfanView a while ago. I'm puzzled why IV always seems oddly reluctant to start; it normally shows a blank window, and only after arbitrary fiddling does a moving picture begin.) Anyway, can anyone please recommend some simple-to-use freeware that will let me perform some or all of these basic operations on the WMV file please: 1) Change the orientation, i.e. from landscape to portrait or vice versa 2) Remove unwanted sections, at least from start or beginning. 3) Edit the soundtrack 4) Convert the WMV to some more universal format like MPG. -- Terry, West Sussex, UK
From: Michael Laplante on 14 Sep 2005 11:47 If you're on Win XP, the free Windows Movie Maker uses WMV as its working format. Don't have a URL handy but a Google will turn it up easily. . .

I was mistaken about the format of my digicam movies. They are MPG, not WMV. And I have now learned that the built-in Windows Movie Maker can handle some of the above requirements. But my version, 1.1, is old. Have posted separately about that. -- Terry, West Sussex, UK
From: Kittie Spit on 14 Sep 2005 22:11 Have a look over at www.videohelp.com and afterdawn.com for freeware that might be able to help you do this. You MIGHT be able to do some of this with something like VirtualDub, [Don't think VDub will work with the formats you specify, tho]. Sorry, I don't have any specific recommendations.

At least quote that part to which you reply. It gives continuity to the thread. As it is, it is difficult to know who you are replying to or to what question you are providing an answer. Ed |
