Movie Maker (Windows XP)

Windows Movie Maker is video creating/editing software bundled with the
Microsoft Windows operating system since Windows Me. It contains features such
as effects, transitions, titles/credits, audio track, timeline narration, and
Auto Movie. New effects and transitions can be made and existing ones can be
modified using XML code.
Windows Movie Maker was introduced in 2000 with Windows Me, but suffered from
poor reviews due to its modest feature set in comparison with the year-old
iMovie product on the Apple Macintosh. Version 1.1 was included in Windows XP a
year later, and included support for creating DV AVI and WMV 8 files, but cannot
be used with Windows Me. Version 2.0 was released as a free update in November
2002, and added a number of new features. Version 2.1, a minor update, is
included in Windows XP Service Pack 2. Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005
introduced a new version of Windows Movie Maker, 2.5, with more transitions and
support for DVD burning. A WPF version was included in some builds of Windows
"Longhorn" (now Windows Vista), but was removed in the development reset.
Windows Movie Maker in Windows Vista includes new effects and transitions, and
support for the DVR-MS file format that Windows Media Center records television
in. The HD version in Premium and Ultimate editions of Windows Vista adds
support for capturing from HDV camcorders. The capture wizard will create DVR-MS
type files from HDV tapes. However, the Windows Vista version of Windows Movie
Maker no longer supports importing video from an analog video source such as a
VCR or from a webcam.
Some systems might not be able to run the new version of Windows Movie Maker.
Therefore, Microsoft has also released an updated older version 2.6 for Windows
Vista on the Microsoft Download Center. This version includes the old effects
and transitions, and is basically the same as Windows Movie Maker 2.1, but
without the ability to capture video. It requires Windows Vista and is only
intended for use on computers where the hardware accelerated version cannot be
run.
