Good Job Oliver, I am a certified tech and I had success
with movie maker in the past. howerver microsoft says it
is backwards compatable. (Lies) I will explain microsofts
stand on this. when they create a driver for a device they
make the first half of the code. it is up to the video
maker for example ati to make the second half to work with
your system. The problem is microsoft will support your
driver if the company pays them money. Yes you are right
when you say it is a peice of ****. But the Techs are also
right due to the fact it is usually video or sound issues.
I agree it is microsofts problem to get more patches out
there. they tend to release stuff before it is ready....
directx 9 for example. Dont pay any attention to the techs
shooting you down for being honest. They are not
professional and have no experience with people because
you are allowed to vent. Thank You for the Input . It
takes input like yours to make Microsoft fix things. I
personaly use virtual vcr works awsome.good luck.. Man
 
Hello there,

I used to be a certified systems engineer and software engineer ... I do not
have either certificate any more...I stopped paying the subscription ! I do
however have several degrees, all of them either in or related to I. T. I am
the author of a software package now eleven years old, which still sells for
£1,000.000 per copy and is sold to Police Forces in the USA, the UK and
Aus....and none of that has anything to do with not getting your computer to
work correctly! Neither does it add any weight to what I say or what you
say.

In general, Microsoft DO NOT write drivers. Other companies write the
drivers using a knowledge base they paid for. To get it tested they have to
pay money...if they don't pay, they don't get a certificate. And if they
have not paid, and you put their software on your computer, who is the Mug
?? Its a little bit like, lets say you own two vehicles, one runs on Diesel
and the other Petrol...you go to the filing station and you put the wrong
fuel in your vehicle....you will be able to drive away, but pretty quickly
you will start to have problems. Now in those circumstances, would you blame
the Garage...not likely, would you blame the company that made the fuel? (in
America you might), or would you blame yourself for not paying attention and
being stupid enough to put the wrong thing into your vehicle....So, there
you are with your now broken down vehicle, what do you expect to happen? The
fuel company will laugh at you if you tell them to come and fix it, but
surely you would not be so stupid as to ask them...would you??? Would you
expect the filling station to come out to you for free of course..I should
have said that. Well NO do you think they are stupid??? So having reached
this far...what is it you were saying??

Now then, Shooting you down for being honest? What are you talking about? A
guy has installed on his system software that conflicts with a certified
product, or he does not have the right software installed. So instead of
fixing the issue, or asking for help, he shouts his mouth off, and that
makes him honest does it????

And, "they are not professional" Really ?? Well, Having been the Advisor to
Two Governments, UK and Aus on matters I. T. together with a few commercial
companies one of which won a "Best Practices Award" from a Government Agency
because of the software I wrote for them, I could just take offence at your
remarks. Instead though, I will put it down as someone who is throwing
around remarks in an attempt at making himself look more knowledgeable
perhaps or maybe just to make himself feel good. Either way, it added
nothing to the augument.

And, "Thank You for the Input . It takes input like yours to make
Microsoft fix things", Oh come on, I thought we had covered this....but I
will say it in a slightly different way if you like, "If your machine is not
working because you put incompatible software on it, TOUGH"...let me give
you another clue...My machine has not been rebooted because of a failure in
months...and the failure that caused me to have to reboot it then was of my
own making....how do I get to have such a stable machine??? Well, go figure
it out...the clue is above.
