Well I just looked at the Vista Business version of movie maker and
the only output choices for publish are 'this computer', 'recordable
CD', 'email' or 'digital camera'. None offer any file type choice or
bitrate choice. Why is Movie Maker so lame? It's almost comical. Are
they different in Home Premium and Ultimate?
He would be better off staring with Sony's software which does the
whole process start to finish plus offering way more options.
