incompatibility with QuickTime is self-defeating

I was initial pleased to find that MovieMaker on XP is
friendly and capable enough to be used by my son in
creating a video for a project at school. He created a test
video then brought it to school to see if it could be
displayed there.

No such luck, as the schools in our area are all Mac-based.

Unfortunately, the only non-windows-media-file output
format is DV-AVI. Although viewable using QuickTime, this
file format has poor resolution.

I have to purchase third party software and will stop using
MovieMaker! This serious lack of choices in output formats
makes MovieMaker useless to students in our geographic
area. A poor business/design choice on the part of
MicroSoft.
 
Such Caustic comments about machines that have a highly prized graphics
system, indeed so much so that most publishers in the world use them...what
a pity, and I was almost getting to like you NOT !!

Best Wishes.............sort of

I wouldn't call the graphics system of the Classic "highly prized" these
days (512x384 at 1-bit.)
Back then, the Classic was innovative, notably in terms of the GUI OS, but I
made no "caustic" comments about it.
My point was merely that many schools/colleges may not be running the
appropriate hardware to run OS/X which is required for the installation of
Media Player 9 for Mac. Any "comment" was directed at experience of getting
such establishments to install software even if they have kit that supports
it, could roll that software out remotely, would cost them nothing except
time, and would benefit a large proportion of the student body. It wasn't
directed at the current Macs, or those in the past.
 
Yes,

That's your problem isn't it, your full of points...tell me when

exactly which Macs was it aimed at then, those in another dimension?...have
those little green men been at it again?

and please, where is the message and headers from Mr Brown, so that we can
see you really were responding to a message he posted. I mean you would not
want me to think bad things about you, would you.

Oh the penny has dropped, you were using another of your throw away
remarks.....yes that's it .you should change your news group name, I can
think of a few good ones that would suit you very well.
