Encoding

[Guest]

I wonder why the movie maker re-encode the movie loosing quality when
original clips are also wmv files.

I do believe that:
1- there should be an option that limit clip splitting at the key frame only
2- with these complete sets of frames in a clip, the encoder can just
concatenate the clips without loosing quality

yes, but saving to WMV always re-encodes.... that's the way it works today.

You can combine and split the clips any way you see fit.
To limit frame dropping problems if you aren't putting a transition or
affect in the middle and you have 2 clips that are split but going together
on the timeline then select them both, right click, and combine them.
