windows movie maker does not have many disadvantages, however the mian one are that is that if you want to use the subtitle feature, the software only allows you to add on title per clip, so a dialogue intense movie needs to be broken into many small clips in order to get subtitles matched up with every verbal exchange. The other disadvantage is very little control over where the subtitles appear on screen. The only option is at the bottom of the screen with either one or two lines of text.

Other problems users may face is that the Audio does not show up when it is recorded and also find that they can't import music files to the movie.
