Tee hee, I definitely did not want to leave that detail out on my youtube page. ^_^ I use online video converters to convert wmv files, etc. into mov files. Very nifty.  Personally, with experience in both iMovie and Windows Movie Maker, I think iMovie is the more organized of the two. It's so much easier to find things. Not to mention, you can actually see a preview of effects and transitions with the clip/picture you want to use, unlike Windows Movie Maker, where you see the effect used on some random picture they stored. o_O

QUOTE (Jahnavi @ Mar 11 2009, 03:44 PM)  If you want, you can try YouTube Downloader to convert files that are already on your computer. Thanks for the link... It would have been extremely helpful if it was Mac compatible. :/ I blame individual companies for not making their software Mac compatible, thus leading to the opinion that "There is an extreme lack of software (ex: games) out there for macs): as if PCs were the only computers used in the world (which is not so).

QUOTE (Administrator @ Mar 13 2009, 06:19 AM) Thanks for sharing. He he, not a game - enthusiast. ^_^ I'm not much of a gamer; so when it comes to games and lack of compatibility, I don't really mind. I'm more interested in the use of computers for creative reasons (web design, music creation, movie creation, etc.) I think the Mac excels in the highest degree in those areas. (Just ask me about my experience with Windows Movie Maker on that PC over the past couple weeks, I dare someone to.  ) lol As much as I dislike PCs, I think some of them could be considered personal computers. Of course, with their constant use in the workplace, the PC (personal computer), just does not seem personal anymore, though. With Macs; it's all pretty much for personal enjoyment (it's like a "fun computer"), though it can be used for some lines of work (and by students). So, my thought is, PCs are best for gaming and business, Macs are best for art and personal enjoyment. So, they both have their upsides. (Though I personally, prefer Macs). Maybe the reason PCs are so incredibly evil to me is because of the fact that I like Macs better... *PC at school crashed on me today... again. It hates me.*

Why not try the new Windows Live™ Movie Maker Beta? http://download.live.com/moviemakerQUOTE (Boo @ Mar 14 2009, 07:00 AM) As much as I dislike PCs, I think some of them could be considered personal computers.

Nope, it definitely was not that bad of a failure... lol I was making a "commercial" project a couple days ago in Windows Movie Maker about iMacs, and as I was typing "Macs crash less", guess what the PC did? It crashed; wouldn't you know it? That's what I call irony at its best. And, today, working on that same "commercial" project, it froze. o_O I have concluded that PCs hate me and always will... I was using Windows XP. We're not allowed to download any new software on the computers (since they are property of the school), otherwise, I definitely would. (We can't even load flash games on them; they've been restricted.) My school's technical guy is evil (not to mention he needs to retire). I consider a personal computer as being the opposite of one used for business, etc. Like, there is more software on it for a person's enjoyment during their spare time (creating music, listening to music, creating websites, organizing photos, etc.) versus programs strictly made for business purposes. So, it's more relating to people versus money making.

I'm sick of that as well (I've had enough of arguing over youtube; it seems to be a never-ending war there.) I personally wasn't trying to stir anything up, I was just upset at the condition of the computers in our school are (I've been on PCs that have worked so much better then the ones we have; like I said, our technical guy does not know what he's doing and he needs to retire.) Maybe if we got some young person to take his position, we'd have computers actually run smoothly (there's obviously something wrong with the computers we have now).
But anyway, thanks for the links! I have the Flip4Mac trial on my computer (I think it was pre-installed), and am thinking about registering it (to rid of the watermark it places when I use wmv files on iMovie). I also have VLC and a SWF and FLV player, but I prefer Quicktime (since I can use clips in iMovie with that).
That link to perian.org looks as if it will come in handy; I've never heard of that. Thanks so much for sharing! ^_^
