10.1 Hacks #86-90
XP is Microsoft's first attempt to truly integrate
multimedia hardware and graphics-playing abilities. In previous
versions of Windows, things such as movie making, music recording, CD
burning, and graphics seemed an afterthought rather than a core part
of the operating system. But with XP, that changed. It's not only that
Microsoft dressed up the operating system to make it look better; it
also now offers Windows Media Player, a fully featured piece of music
and entertainment software, and Windows Movie Maker, which lets you
create home movies and videos. In this chapter, you'll find hacks for improving
your created movies, burning CDs more easily, converting graphics
among formats, music sharing without spyware, and more. |
