Hi. I'm new to WMM and am limited in my computer knowledge..any help would be
greatly appreciated. I am planning on presenting a drama video to my church.
I have already recorded the pieces of video that I wanted, using a video
camera, and now have the clippings on a DVD-R. The quality of the video
clippings is very clear up to this point. However, I then took the video from
the DVD-R and saved it on my computer hard drive. From there, I used WMM
program and edited everything together how I want it. The picture quality of
the video in WMM was slightly grainy during the editing process. I then burnt
the final video onto a CD-R and viewed it in Windows Media Player and the
picture quality was very grainy and terrible looking. Could someone please
walk me through step-by-step or give me suggestions as to how to improve the
video quality during the process of transferring the DVD-R to my hard drive
and also during the burning process after I am finished with the video in
WMM...Thanks so much!
