MP3 Video Files Freeze Up In Windows Movie Maker

AI Thread Summary
To address issues with converting MP3 files to WMV, which results in reduced picture quality, it's important to clarify that MP3 is an audio format and does not inherently support video. If the user has an AVI container with an MP3 audio track, the video quality may depend on the compression used for the video track. Recommended solutions include using VirtualDub alongside AVISynth to convert video files to uncompressed AVI, which can help maintain quality. For video conversion, WinFF, a front-end for ffmpeg, is suggested as a user-friendly option. Additionally, updating video drivers and clearing temporary files may improve performance and quality.

Is there any way to fix this? I tried converting the mp3 files to wmv files last night, but it reduces the picture quality by a lot so the picture quality looks all fuzzy. Is there any other free video editing software out there that supports mp3 video files?

MPEG Layer 3 only supports audio frames. Do you mean you have an AVI container with an MP3 soundtrack and some type of video track? If so, what is the compression on the video track?
Try using VirtualDub in combination with http://avisynth.org/mediawiki/Main_Page . If anything, AVISynth should allow you to convert your video file to uncompressed AVI.

...for converting video, you might be happy with WinFF, which is a front-end to ffmpeg.

Try updating your video drivers and any Window updates. Then clear all your temp files.
 

Thread 'Is AI hype?'

In my discussions elsewhere, I've noticed a lot of disagreement regarding AI. A question that comes up is, "Is AI hype?" Unfortunately, when this question is asked, the one asking, as far as I can tell, may mean one of three things which can lead to lots of confusion. I'll list them out now for clarity. 1. Can AI do everything a human can do and how close are we to that? 2. Are corporations and governments using the promise of AI to gain more power for themselves? 3. Are AI and transhumans...

Thread 'ChatGPT Examples, Good and Bad'

I've been experimenting with ChatGPT. Some results are good, some very very bad. I think examples can help expose the properties of this AI. Maybe you can post some of your favorite examples and tell us what they reveal about the properties of this AI. (I had problems with copy/paste of text and formatting, so I'm posting my examples as screen shots. That is a promising start. :smile: But then I provided values V=1, R1=1, R2=2, R3=3 and asked for the value of I. At first, it said...
