Hello,
First, thanks to Papa John's fixes page, I was able to
keep WMM2 from crashing constantly when trying to use an
effect or transition. Thanks!
Secondly, I have a huge problem. My video output is
terrible. The only way I can describe it is to say it
looks like a 3 year old went wild with fingerpaints. :> I
have uninstalled codecs (Nimo Codec Pack), I have
recompressed any clips I'm using into mpegs, I've
defragged, upgraded to DirectX 9.0b, Windows Media 9, and
still I cannot make WMM2 stop rendering my finished movies
into... crap. Most of the time I can't even make out the
difference between the scenery and the people in the clip
(but the audio is just fine, which indicated to me that it
was a video codec... which is why I uninstalled
everything).
As if that weren't enough, most of the clips in my clip
library (which I have set to thumbnails) are green. They
were green before I uninstalled the extra codecs, and
after.
I'm beginning to wonder if WMM2 is just designed to give
you poor results if you're not using proprietary media
from Microsoft.
