You will notice above our "before" and "after" screen shots. You need to change the settings from what they
look like in the "before" screen shot to the "after" screen shot. Pretty straight forward.
The red arrow on the before shot is pointing at the "User-defined" option,
which is set. You need to change it to the Standard selection (shown in the "after" shot). And then pick
800x600 in the dropdown list. This is the last option in the list by the way...
What if this dialog box looks different than shown? Did you make sure that the File Type was
AVI on the previous step? Gotta do that if you want it to work!
What is that AVI tab for?
You edited the Frame Size settings on the General tab. What about the AVI tab?
The AVI tab contains various options for compression. I'm a bit lost on this one. The default is no compression.
This results in huge output files but the quality is excellent. I did try a couple options that did load
into Moviemaker but the picture quality sucked. More research needs to be done in this area. If for the only reason
to save space on your hard drive from being eaten up!
