    - How do I save to MPEG2 format? Ok, so my version of WMM reads the MPEG2 files that my TV Tuner software save perfectly. I cut off the ends of the file where the overlap was so I have just the show I want to record to DVD. The question is, how do I save it back to MPEG2 format? Or, is there another selection that will work with Roxio to make a viewable DVD? Thanks, Gene Tag: Another File Import Problem Tag: 62123

    - Preview OK but Movie video stops before end I created a 29 minute movie, video and photos. I wanted to be able to view it on my TV using my DVD player. It played perfectly in the Preview window. I saved the Movie File to My computer, specifying a folder. I chose the high quality video (NTSC) format. I burned the result to a DVD-RW using Roxioâ??s MyDVD. (All of this I have done in the past with no problem.) When I viewed the movie on the TV, it worked fine up until about half way through the movie. It then stopped advancing, though the counter on my DVD player kept advancing. I then returned to the folder on my computer where the completed movie was stored and double-clicked. Media Player started playing the movie but then stopped at the same location. Media Playerâ??s counter kept advancing. I deleted the movie and made a new movie from the same project. This time I looked at the final product using Media Player, before trying to burn to disk. The result was the same except that the point of stoppage was different. The audio from the video clips could still be heard. Any suggestions? Ideas? Thanks.

    - Can't view all the video effects or video transitions Hi there, I've come across a wee problem on some of my PCs. On some PCs I can see all the effects i.e. Blur, Ease In, Brightness, Increase etc but on other PCs I can only see a couple fo effects. I tried searching the PC for the files but can't see to find them, thus I now think they are in cab files or something like that. I was simply going to copy and paste them into the PCs that didn't have them. Has anyone ever came across this before and if so how can I go about sorting the issue of not being able to see all the effects on Movie Maker - I'm using Movie Maker 2.1.4026.0.

    - Movie-save problem, I got audio, but I miss images I'm busy trying to save my movie. I tried getting it on cd and on my computer, but I get the same problem. The computer saves the movie full lenght, so it seems allright. But when I'm starting to play the movie, it shows that he saved all the audio, but I miss the images after 1,5 minute. (the movie is 20 minutes in total). Everytime I try to save it, he saves the images somewhere between 1,5 and 13 minutes. Why isn't he saving the whole 20 minutes?

Like i said, everything works fine. = = = = = = = = = = = Scenario 2, WMM Hangs Start a new project import into collections: file: pozole01.mpg size(62.7 MB) i then drag the file and put it into the storyboard's first board. i can play the file fine. It is 58 seconds long. i will now put a title: tools/add title to the beginning/done,add title to movie. will now put a transition between title and clip. i drag 'shatter-in' to between the 2 boxes This is working fine. i can play and restart. everything is great Will now add a 2nd clip: i only have one video in my collection, so i better put another one: i have now imported pozole02 into my collection file: Pozole02.mpg size(105 MB) I have dragge pozole02 into the 3rd rectangle in the storyboard: PREDICTION-WMM WILL FREEZE SOON! (it is now 9:33 PM) i know it will freeze. It is just a matter of clicking to see if it is still respoding. I click on 'clip' i get the menu. i click somewhere else, the menu goes away. i click on the pozole01 file sitting in the middle of the screen. nothing happens wait, am i frozen?? Has the app hung?? YES Reality: As predicted WMM is now FROZEN! (It is now 9:34 PM) i can still move the mouse, but WMM has become totally unresponsive. It will stay like this for as long as the computer is on! Be it minutes, hours, days or months or years! Should i look in the event log? What's the point? I have looked there before, but obviously its not going to write anything because it has stopped working! If i were to kill the app, then something would get written to the log. . . . but what's the use? "oh, i think somebody killed me" i alt-tab back to wmm.

When we click to open MovieMaker we cant start a new file, it just opens all of the imported media that we have used before. The box to auto open the last project is not checked. Also there are about 6 copys of each picture all of a sudden, and when we try to open a movie it says it is not a valid file. I should say, we have vista home premium. Thank you.

    - simplest app to cut out bits of a dvd and screenshots Hi All I work for a number of schools and they are always trying to enhance their pupils' learning with visual/interactive stuff instead of boring old school methods. They were doing topics on World War II and the teachers wanted to cut out video clips of famous films, eg Saving Private Ryan, Pearl Harbour, etc, so that the compiled content would be OK for young eyes. Problem is the current crop of 'stick a DVD, select a chunk, extract it and save it as a video file' software appears to be rubbish! The only decent one that I managed to find was a prog called MovAvi that was simple to use and was OK for screenshots, but the left and right marker function that allows the user to grab a snippet of video is crap. Everytime you move the left marker it bounces back to the beginning again there is no fluid movement with it. Any ideas on better software for this specific task, whilst at the same time not being a newbie's nightmare and a techie's dream? Thanks Tag: Another File Import Problem Tag: 62081

    - Can't Save to DVD Recently getting error "can't save to DVD". Has something changed recently that anyone knows about? In May, I was able to save and burn DVD w/ no problem and larger than this file. I have split the file in half & I still get error. When the file is single file I get the other error commonly seen about space, file may be missing etc. All my pics are in one place; music too so it's only searching 1 place to find them. I have move my temp folder to new specific folder & out of local settings and my partition is NTFS. Still no luck. When I tried saving to my computer so I could burn separately, it started to save but said "520+minutes" and then kept going up instead of down. I still would rather save to DVD & can't figure why it isn't working when it was fine a few months ago. Any ideas? Tag: Another File Import Problem Tag: 62080

    - Crashing Problems with Windows Movie Maker Today i decided to start working on a video with Windows Movie Maker. I am using Windows Movie Maker 5.1, and i worked for about 2 hours on the video and i had no problems at all. I got my video up to 3 minutes long and i had over 20 clips on the timeline, i tried to add another clip (this clip was no different than the last 5 i added, it was even part of the same video) to the timeline, and then Windows Movie maker crashed. I received no error message, it just closed. The file format i am using is AVI (Which i am sure is compatible because it worked for the first 20 clips). I thought at first maybe it was just bad luck and something small happened, so i tried again, and the same thing happened. So then i decided to try to add a DIFFERENT clip, so i added a clip that i had added into the movie earlier that had worked fine, and it still crashed. So that tells me its not a compatability problem... -------------- Also, perhaps this would help you in helping me with my problem - When i am re-loading my video after the crash, the DiVXCodec taskbar icon just keeps appearing and disappearing, as if it was closing/opening over and over again, and after the video is fully loaded, there is no DivXCodec icon on the taskbar. But there are THREE other identicle codec icons there instead... Shouldnt there only be one icon? Tag: Another File Import Problem Tag: 62069

    - Importing from Sony HVR-A1U I have Movie Maker 2.1 installed. I just purchased a Sony HVR-A1U/A1N and set it into stardard DV mode and made a small test tape. the Sony supplied cable into the HDV/DV socket and the other end into a USB port and powered up the camera putting it into playback mode. Then I started Movie Maker and attempted "capture video" but was told that MM could find no capture device. The Sony literature is a bit sketchy but perhaps it is saying that the USB cable is only for still pictures. It might be saying that an optional iLink cable is necessary to import video. If this is the case, would Movie Maker find the camera if I had an iLink cable? Tag: Another File Import Problem Tag: 62011

Sorry if this has been hashed over many times before. I have a Panasonic HDD
Video Camera that saves the files as mpeg2 & when I drag & drop them into
MM2.1 for XP, I get an error message that the file is not compatible. It
seems like MM2.1 is missing codecs but I have the box checked for it to
automatically download codecs. I'm a newbie to MM so possibly I'm just
missing something simple. Your Thoughts?

MM rarely works with mpegs, so move the files onto your pc hdd, then convert
them to wmv using something like windows media encoder or super
http://www.myvideoproblems.com/WebPages/UsefulProgrammes.htm
Then import this file into MM.
