On my "home" PC running Windows XP Pro and Windows Movie Maker 2.1.4026.0,
when I want to capture video from my DV camera, the "Best quality for
playback on my computer (recommended)" is set to this:

File type: WMV
Bit rate: 512Kbps
Display size: 320x240
Frames per second: 30

On my "work" and any other PC running Window XP Pro, the same "Best quality
for playback on my computer (recommended)" setting is this, which seems much
better as a default:

File type: WMV
Bit rate: 2.1Mbps <= better
Display size: 640x480 <= better
Aspect ratio: 4:3 <= this missing in WMM on my home PC
Frames per second: 30

Why are the default settings different and how can I change the "Best
quality for playback on my computer (recommended)" setting?

Thanks in advance for any insight.

Cheers,
Derek
