When EDITING your videos, turn OFF all codecs EXCEPT the Xvid codec.

When SAVING your MOVIE file, turn OFF all codecs EXCEPT the DivX codec.

For some reason, ffdshow (never use it no matter what) crashes your WMM often. The Xvid codec produces minimal lag when editing and the DivX codec produces the best results when saving. And for your sake please set auto-recovery on every 3 minutes. This is coming from someone who edits on 3 GB RAM computers using WMM. (Yes I know it's a waste not learning better editing programs; I'm getting there.)

There's RAM and then there's Corsair DDRII 800mghz 5-1-5 track, 3 gb of that shit is what really counts (provided your system board takes it).
To be honnest even 'super computers' will lag with this program when you start to edit in a more detailed manner in this program.

but onto the important stuff, wtf would you turn off all codecs to edit in wmm? if you uninstall huffyuv or any other codecs you can't import and edit with it!

YOU SHOULD EDIT WITH HUFFYUV encoded clips in WMM.
YOU SHOULD EXPORT TO DV_AVI or highest possible quality!

and you both need to Read <a href=http://www.a-m-v.org/guides/avtech31/>ErMaC & AbsoluteDestiny's Friendly AMV Guides</a> and download the AMVAPP

Well I'm not sure what computer you have but if I don't turn off everything, my computer freezes.

if your computer is freezing perhaps you should make smaller/shorter clips?

That's why you only make clips. You don't convert entire episodes to HuffYUV, you just take the clips you need. If you do it right, no clip should be more than ~50-100 MB. That estimate may even be a little high - I wouldn't know because I only ever use Lagarith (which doesn't work with WMM).

dare i say a pretty shit hot beast, it kicks many servers in the teeth but it doesn't matter with complex projects the program it'self can't handle it.
There have been projects that i've completed that took me months because i could only make 1 change and then had to restart the program.
Use virtual dub the way Dax suggested... i would also suggest you look at you virtual mem allocation and don't forget the point in the faq about holding files on different drives... sometimes it causes erratic behaviour... speaking of which are your HDD specs at least 7200rpm and 16 mb of cache? Slower drives =crappier performance

Try chaning the codecs or something, I notice that for me, whenever I try and edit with DivX it stalls and is very likely to freeze almost every time. But with Xvid, no problems for me at all.

It really doesn't matter...I've edited with both, they look EXACTLY the same on export in WMM.
