When needing to convert a video file that doesn't work in Movie Maker to one
that does, you are often faced with having to decide which video compressor
to select in the conversion utility.
For a recent newsletter, I tested the 20 video compressor options that are
in the drop-down list of my new HP notebook... 14 of them produced files
that imported into Movie Maker and worked in a project. 6 didn't.
The 14 that worked made AVI files that varied considerably in rendering
time, file size, and visual quality....
I added a new page to my website.... Importing Source Files > Video > Video
Codecs, and included two charts to show the relative rendering times and
resultant file sizes of the 14 compressors that worked through each of the
testing steps.
