"Windows Movie Maker is great!"
Version: Windows Movie Maker (Windows XP) 2.1
Pros
I love how it makes the audio higher for sound clip dubbing and renders perfect quality for YouTube videos.
Cons
Editing long videos is a hassle, and .avi files edit slowly.
Summary
I think Windows Movie Maker is a great program for beginners and even pros. For a free program, there's actually a lot that can be done with it. I use it to upload songs and make edits on YouTube, and I love how the program makes dubbed sound clips louder, equaling the video's actual volume. So, that's my review. Movie Maker is a great program, and it rarely ever crashes on me. And I especially like this version; way better than the Movie Maker on Windows Vista.

"Freezes CONSTANTLY! Extremely frustrating."
Version: Windows Movie Maker (Windows XP) 2.1
Pros
Absolutely Nothing.
Cons
Freezes constantly. No exaggeration....probably once every 3 minutes. Makes it impossible to get anything done. Also, you can only manually control how long each picture frame lasts in a movie. There is no adjustable default setting for length.
Summary
Spend some money, and get something else. This software will make you want to pull your hair out. I cannot give this a low enough rating.

"Crashes constantly!"

"Cheap, simple, very irritating"
Version: Windows Movie Maker (Windows XP) 2.1
Pros
Very easy to use and free... on the face of it a great combination.
Cons
It freezes a lot, and it won't save projects over a certain number of clips and complexity - it is a terrible resource hog, and uses enormous amounts of virtual memory.
Summary
Useful for the smallest projects, but overall a pretty weak product - it is just too buggy to be useful.

"Basic to use"
Version: Windows Movie Maker (Windows XP) 2.1
Pros
It is easy to use, very basic for beginners if your starting to edit and make videos this is the software to use.
Cons
Its Microsoft.
Summary
Yes it freezes has more glitches then you can imagine and really does not work well with other programs. But there is away around that for starters close down any internet programs like IM's, or Web Browsers. Then it works well for a while, if continues to have glitches reload the program it seems to help also get a free codex pack too. Also SAVE your work constantly.
