I just realized this computer had windows movie maker preinstalled. I only clicked around a little on some of it's programs and it looks very similar to EMC9. Anyone ever use WMM before and be willing to list some of the differences? Thank you.

You are kidding right?

WMM is a nice simple program with a few features. Roxio is full featured audio and video editing program.

YOU test both programs, and let us know.  :)

I haven't used WMM, except once as a test.  It is so limited in what it can do, I never used it again.  One thing it lacks is the 32 tracks that EMC 9 has.  That alone, keeps me using EMC 9.

There are a multitude of differences, but you can experiment to determine which you want to use and make a list of the differences, and post them here.

WMM2 is only a video editor so you can only compare it to Videowave.  WMM is a very basic video editor.  Videowave is much more advanced in many ways.

Don't forget, WMM is free and you always get what you pay for!
I know, there are some very good freeware programs out there but as the others have said, you can't compare them. The power of VW with things like multi tracks, Video Doctor, audio enhancing tools and much more, just make it a complete winner.
