Hello all!

I really want to make a video (like an Mpg, Avi something like that!) of some photos with a track of music in the background... does anyone have any idea where I start? I.E. what software?

Before you MAC users start banging on about how great final cut is, I know, I know... but PCs and Microsoft are better! Why? Because I just said so! :p :D

Thank you all for your time and help!

Hate to say it but have you tried M$ Movie Maker ?
Standard fit with XP.

No? I hadn't even seen that! Lol!

Has anyone had any experience of it!

Well it's M$ so it probably Sucks, but worth a go ;)

I've used it for editing video successfully.

Try downloading this free video editing with sound effects >> (http://www.avid.com/products/freedv/index.asp)

Why don't you try Pinnacle 10.0?. It's good for every type of media.. even professionals use this software.

Yup you can do it now Jus search n Google of "HyperCam 2" and make whatever you want.. ;] . [avi].

You please try Ulead 9.0 or Ulead 10.0 this is the best software for beginers. You can incorporate music and songs in the back grounds of your photos or clips. Also, you can do batch processing for Mpeg format and can write a Video CD later through any VCD writing software.

I have been working with above software.

Hope this will help you. If it works then we are friend...

Otherwise, Sorry dear!

Thanks,
Ravi

I'm a big adobe user. Premiere is awesome. You can download a 30 day free trial from this website:

Adobe - Adobe Premiere Pro CS3: Features (http://www.adobe.com/products/premiere/features/)

Thanks for all your replies! I ended up making my video with MS Moviemaker and I was pretty happy with it!

I'll try and find time to download the other programs, give them a try and let you know how I get on!

Thanks again!
