Microsoft Windows Movie Maker 2.1 is included in Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) and Windows XP Professional x64 Edition.
When you update to SP2 or use Windows Movie Maker 2.1 running on Windows XP Professional x64 Edition, you'll get new security fixes, increased compatibility with other video and audio programs, and improved stability for Windows Movie Maker.
Windows Movie Maker 2.1 includes the following updates:
| • | Increased compatibility with other video and audio programs. To help improve compatibility between Windows Movie Maker 2.1 and other video and audio programs on your computer, you can turn on or turn off another provider's video filters. For more information about Windows Movie Maker compatibility, see the article Working with Video Filters in Windows Movie Maker 2.1. |

The DV pass-through feature lets you transfer video from an analog video camera or VCR to your computer by using a DV camera to convert the analog video to a digital format. For more information about connecting video devices and using the DV pass-through feature in Windows Movie Maker, see Capturing Video in Windows Movie Maker 2.1 by Using DV Pass-Through. |
| • | New default capture setting. In the Video Capture Wizard, the new default capture setting is a constant bit rate (CBR) profile rather than a variable bit rate (VBR) profile. |
