Ok, I finally finished my 3 minute 46 second montage. But when I try to save the file into a movie file, it's only limited to 58 MB. Ew.

I've noticed from my movie editing/making experiences that WMM somehow limits the file size when you're converting your saved file into a movie file. I've also noticed that longer the movie, the bigger the limit, which means good quality.

But in this case, I have a mere 3 minute video to convert, and the limit is 58 MB. I need it to be around 150-170-ish. I tried AVI file convert, but it becomes a whopping 386 MB.

Can someone a) explain to me why WMM is being retarded like this (I mean, it should allow its user to create files as big as they want), and b) how I can adjust the file size to my own will.

P.S. Just for heads up, "high quality" option is worse than the file size limit, and like I sad before, the AVI option is way too big (which means I cannot upload to mythica.org).

Thank you for any help/posts, and please I need to make this movie file a 150 MB, so I desperately need your help guys. =/

Btw, I posted this in the wmm.net forums as well. Just hoping I could strike two birds with one stone...

WMM compresses into ugly wmv form, there isn't much you can do about it as far as I know.

Add me to your friends list if you haven't already. It's a lot more fun to play with people from The Maw and people I know than random noobs.

Fixed (being a smart ass ftw)

I hadn't had this problem when I made a montage. I used wmm too. I don't know of any size limits.

Nvm, I found the fix. You have to customize profiles through Personal Profile Manager for WMM2.

To Pet0sh: And no, you can export media into .avi format through WMM, for better quality. And besides, wmv doesn't look that bad. =P
