Notes

Please note: Movie Maker 2.6 is for Windows Vista users whose computer cannot run the Vista version of Movie Maker.

To test if your computer can run the Vista version of Movie Maker:

1. From the Start menu, click All Programs.
2. Click Windows Movie Maker.

If Movie Maker launches, you should not download version 2.6.

If you get an error message that says, "Windows Movie Maker cannot start because your video card does not support the required level of hardware acceleration or hardware acceleration is not available", download and install Movie Maker 2.6.

Pros
  • Very easy to use
  • Works with images and videos
  • Includes many video and transition effects
Cons
  • Too simple for power users
  • Few exporting formats supported

"WMM 2.6 for Vista dislikes"

I wish the makers of WMM 2.6 had allowed the users to change the font colors for various backgrounds. Windows Movie Maker (previous version) allowed this and it enhances your movies by allowing truly customised titles and credits. Also I find that the version of WMM 2.6 that I have degrades my pictures to the point that when viewed on my 21" viewer screen the pictures are blurry. Imagine what they will look like on my 36" TV screen when the movie is complete and played!

Pros
  • Eay to work with
Cons
  • Degrades the pictures you attach.
  • Cannot change font colors when making title and credit pages.
