I don't mean to sound bad here - it's certainly not intended. But wouldn't you like have a go at this yourself?

I mean, I wouldn't want to 'contract out' something that is so personal to me. I'd want it to be a journey of my own.

We can all offer editing and software suggestions, but maybe you will be better able to convey your feelings about your friend if you created your film personally.

Sorry if I sound way off mark.

Whatever you got I would be interested in putting together a video for your friend. I just want some experience with video editing. I have some work I have done, so if you would like to see some just e-mail me or post. Hope to hear back!

there are some programs that can be downloaded to do the job, JPEG to movie converters do the job...

ya it would be nice to do it myself but i have no clue how to edit it and i just want it to look and flow as nice as possible and i thought maybe somebody would want to do it but i would like to see if someone can do one and i can look at it and decide what to do

ok so im trying it and i think my video is pretty good but i found a news video but i dont know how to save it to my computer heres the link Local News | KING5.com | News for Seattle, Washington

It's a streaming video in WMV format.

If you right-click on it whilst its playing and click properties an info box will come up, which includes location information. If you copy this location and paste it into something like Net Transport (http://www.xi-soft.com/default.htm), you will be able to rip the stream to your hard drive.

WMV format isn't the best format for editing. The video's dimensions are 400x300. My advice is to firstly import the WMV file into Windows Movie maker and do a straight export to DV AVI.

ok i got it to my windows media player...how do i save to a file i can reach in windows movie maker. im sorry im new to this
