Windows Movie Maker


Question Posted Sunday February 4 2007, 10:08 pm

If you haven't read my previous question, it's about how to make a wedding DVD type of thing using pictures from the wedding (like a slide show with music) for someone I know who got married not too long ago. I'm using Windows Movie maker because it's free and I've heard it was easy.

All of the songs that I want to use (play in the background) when making the wedding movie/DVD won't work because they aren't a supported file, I get that. But I have NO songs that are supported files (trust me, I've tried almost 100 of the love songs I have), so I was wondering if there was any way to make them supported files. I asked ygsgirl, and at first I thought what she said worked, but it didn't. Go figure. I'm pretty much computer illiterate. I viewed the help section (I'm not a complete moron) and well, it didn't help. It dind't have anything for what I needed. So, I was prettty much wondering if anyone knew how to get the songs to work?

Another question, do I have to use the ENTIRE song? Or can I just use parts of the songs? I want to use their entire wedding song (Bless the Broken Road - Rascal Flatts), and I also want to use bits of other songs (like when I use pictures of the father/daughter dance and mother/son dance I want to use parts of the songs they danced to). I also want to use parts of songs such as This Kiss- Faith Hill and Amazed - Lonestar. You know, love songs.

So anyway, I'm pretty much wondering if there's a way to make all those songs supported files. I have all of the songs I want to use purchased on Itunes. I'm really hoping I didn't waste money on songs I can't even use. So, please help if you can. (Especially if you've encountered the same problem while using windows movie maker)

Thanks in advance and sorry for the length and crappy way in which I'm asking the question. I just got off of a 7 hour shift at work, I still have homework, and it has been a long day =D.

Additional info, added Sunday February 4 2007, 10:14 pm:
Also, what about songs that are protected. Because I found some that I'd be able to use if they weren't protected using digital rights management and cannot be imported. (exact words it gave me).

only search advicenators.com

put the file type(mp3, ogg) you convert from in the beginning of that search to find a converter. Use audacity:

to break songs into bits.
