I need to save my Movie Edit Pro 17 video to my desktop in a *.wma format when it is as good as another program I use when I save it. In other words where I don't have a blurry video and I can write it to a DVD using my own program and not the one that comes with it because it is very confusing.
tic15,
Several issues with your questions: From what I can find on the web and the Magix help files, *.wma is an audio format, not video. Do you mean *.wmv?
If you meant .wmv I'd suggest you use 'File' >> 'Export movie' >> Windows media export...', rather than the more general 'Export' tab at the top right, as you have access to many advanced settings to get whatever quality (and balance with big file size) that you want.
As to saving, the export window uses the standard Windows file name / folder picker common to virtually all programs. Just click on the little folder icon to the right of the suggested default name and location.
Finally, the standard for DVDs (to play in a DVD player with menus etc (not just a removable data disc) is not *.wmv; the VOB files that contain the film are .mpg format. You are very likely to lose quality (and some time) if you are rendering your project twice -- source material to .wmv in MEP and then .wmv to .mpg (VOB) in your DVD burning program.
Regards,
Carl
Good deal it works great thanks. Sorry 'bout the *.wma *.wmv mix-up.
