After all of the trouble I’d had with Windows Movie Maker during my last project, I decided to upgrade my tools. In addition to this, I’m planning to save my videos primarily in H.264 mp4 format which is higher quality than wmv and is compatible with my PSP and iPod.
Unfortunately, despite what the fall update said, I was not able to play the mp4 videos on my PC on the Xbox 360 in the living room. A lot of tinkering and searching finally lead me to a blog article in A Red Herrings Space which had the instructions I needed. Thanks Red Herring!
