time for some more experimenting. i looked at one piece of music and it says in my laptop 10:16secs. even my stopwatch says 10:16. right click and look in properties it says 10:16 ... so, the realtime of the track is 10:16
the baffling bit is, when i put it into movie maker, it is actually 10:16, the file says so....but, the timescale says 8min:33secs - why? if a film is 25 frames a second, it must be converting something somewhere.. even though the whole track is intact, there's something about this timescale lark... if you tube vids are 10 mins maximum, i wonder if thats in realtime or virtual time? only way to find out is by trying to upload the 10:16
anyway, while messing about, i can change the length of picture transitions after all tsk. why it is in where it is, i don't know. they should have it in the main part not hidden away...
