    - Effects and Transitions... My friends and I are making movies using MM2, but I'm finding I'd like a few more effects, transitions, and perhaps title options. I've found a few websites that sell transition packs, but we are on quite a low budget. Anyone know of a site that offers these kinds of things for free? Maybe a message board where people share their own creations? Thanks in advance. Tag: No Audio from Firewire Capture Tag: 21217

    - Does anyone know of a program that will actually do the things WMM Does anyone know of a program that will actually do the things WMM v.2, and previous versions, said they could do? I copied a VHS tape to CD, and now want to edit the approx. 30 min. video into much smaller clips, including deleting some of the blank clips. I feel lucky if I am able to transfer two or three clips before it crashes. I do not have sound on the CD. I can view it just fine as is, in WM Player; I just can't edit it in any way. There is contiguous space that would allow the clips to be saved contiguously, so what is the problem with the crashing, or just freezing up? It sure seems that no one really knows. Has anyone had success with WMM v.2? -- Jo Tag: No Audio from Firewire Capture Tag: 21210

    - Custom Transitions & Effects I have been trying to figure out the details about a particular portion of the document Microsoft has put together at: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnwmt/html/moviemakersfx.asp This mentions an Effect named Filter which has several EffectIDs and some ControlValues to go with each of the ID but nowhere in the article is it explained which ControlValues apply to which EffectID. Does any body know anyhting about these? For MS employees, how can I contact one of the persons who wrote this article? Can you kindly forward this message to either of Josh Cohen, Mike Matsel or Peter Turcan please or send me thier email address Basically the question is that: In the article mentioned above, the Filter Effects specify a set of generic parameters called ControlValue1, ControlValue2, ..., ControlValue8 etc.. Where can I find more details about these parameters and their contextual meanings corresponsing to each type of filter ? Thanks in advance Rehan Tag: No Audio from Firewire Capture Tag: 21207

    - How to increase DVD capacity Want to convert VHS tapes to DVD. Already captured it in AVI format (320-240 YUY2 25 fps), edited it in Windows Movie Maker, and saved as a project (*.MSWMM). Also saved the movie as a *.wmv file. I'd like to burn the movie (2 hours and 20 minutes) on a single DVD using MyDVD on the *.wmv file, however, according to MyDVD this would take 2 full DVD's. Reducing the bitrate while producing the *.wmv file doesn't help. Is there a way to reduce the file size and burn it on a single DVD? Preferably while maintaining it in the original VHS quality? Thanks for suggestions! Tag: No Audio from Firewire Capture Tag: 21184

    - Movie is cut by half by WMM2 When I import a mpeg movie in WMM2, only half of it is played ! I have tried to lengthen the video with the arrows but it's impossible. I only get half of it. It stops after a few seconds. The correct duration is 03:27 but in the collection window, it indicates 0:03 ! It's the same for all my videos.

    - Saving Movie Problems I am having trouble saving movies in MM2. It is a intermittent problem. I can capture the audio/video okay and move the clips to the timeline okay. I can also make headers and ending credits okay. However, when it comes time to save the movie, I get a strange message about how I can't save the movie due to invalid source files, inadequate space, and/or a bad saving location. However, none of this is true, as I have plenty of RAM, plenty of hard disk space, the source files are intact and the destination is valid. There basically is NO reason the movies are not saving properly, as I haven't changed the settings from the last time I used MM2 a month ago (it worked fine then). FYI, I have done a Windows re-install since then, but that should not matter, as the most recent project was recorded since then. HELP!!! Tag: No Audio from Firewire Capture Tag: 21177

    - Some Questions Hello I am new here. I am making a movie and I have some questions. Is it possible for you to have a movie clip with the audio, then shorten the clip, but leave the audio going and put in another clip. Does that make sense?? Also reading these boards people are saying that when they put it to a dvd it comes out bad, how do I save it as a AVI? Thanks a lot :) Tag: No Audio from Firewire Capture Tag: 21170

    - MM2 sound problem (16 bits or 12 bits) Hi, I'm capturing video from camcorder Panasonic PVDV53 using firewire and MM2 as capturing software in Windows XP. If I'm selecting WMV as target format in MM2 and later convert to MPEG2 and burn to DVD everything OK (but quality of video isn't so good and looks overcompressed a bit like VCD or bad DIVx). If I'm selecting AVI-DV format as target in MM2 and later convert huge avi file to MPEG2 and burn to DVD video quality is excellent and much better then in previous case but sound plays about octave lower. Strange that synchronization of sound with video still presents. I have noticed that problem presents if I'm using 16 bits sound mode in camcorder. For 12 bits recorded on camcorder sound everything OK. I have several films with 16 bits sound. Any suggestions how to fix it and convert to DVD (MPEG-2)? Problem exists for different MPEG-2 encoder software (Canopus, Nero). Thanks. Lady_Logic Tag: No Audio from Firewire Capture Tag: 21166

    - poor quality on DVD I finished my first movie with MM2 & the quality is terrible. It's grainy & jumpy. I transferred from my Sony video camera with firewire using iLink following the standard steps in MM2. The video when played on the PC is perfect. Something is lost when I transfer to DVD. I have tried several programs to transfer the movie to DVD including Sonic & Roxio. I've saved the movie as AVI (37 min movie won't fit on DVD!), NTSC (DVD player won't read disc), & the standard format used by MM2 program, whatever that is. Nothing has improved the quality. What can I do to capture the same quality on the DVD as on my PC? I'm not real PC savvy...I've read all the posts here & several other sites, but nothing has changed the end result of a DVD so poor I might as well not bother. Can anyone help?

    - AVI versus Quicktime I am shopping for my first digital camera and was wondering if anyone would mind giving me some advice? I am looking at the Cannon A75 and the Kodax DX7440. The Cannon records video in AVI and the Kodax records in Quicktime. I borrowed a friends Cannon and took a bunch of short videos and put them all together using Movie Maker and it came out pretty good. So what I am wondering is, can anyone tell me which movie format is better AVI or Quicktime? Is one better quality then the other? Thanks, Val Tag: No Audio from Firewire Capture Tag: 21125

    - If Movie Maker crashes on you Hello there, A very common problem when using Movie Maker version 2 is that it crashes when adding an effect or a transition and sometimes when adding text. The one stop solution for that is a program called Rename Codecs and it is available from my web site. To get your copy you have to join the Rename Codec Forum and then request it. A copy will then be sent to you. Make sure you check out the FAQ on what it does and how to run it (That will take about one minute of your time!!) All the info you need is on the web site. Be warned that unregistering any file and doing it wrong will more than likely stop the program from working all together and may cause your entire XP system to fail. This is true whether you make a mistake using the Registry editor or the registration program itself....one mistake and you are potentially in deep trouble. You should think about this, if you make a mistake because you typed something incorrectly, how will you reverse that situation? Do you have enough knowledge to know why it failed and then enough knowledge to reverse that situation before continuing on to fix the actual problem? This reassuringly safe to use program requires no knowledge on your part about what it is doing or how it is doing it or what it is doing it too!!! neither do you need to know where any of these files are or whether it is safe to rename them or not.....and best of all, ITS FREE !!! So far from feedback, it seems there is around an 80% chance this program will solve your problem if it is one of those described above and around half of the remaining 20% found there solution in the following alternative approach.... 1) Download the full version of DirectX Ver 9.0b, Media Player 9 and Movie Maker 2. 2) Reboot you computer and Install DirectX 3) Reboot again and install Windows Media Player 9 4) Reboot yet again and install Movie Maker 2 5) Reboot one more time Yes it sounds very tedious, but if you want to be certain all file locks are removed so that the correct files can be installed this is the way you have to go. It is very important that you only download the full versions of these programs and that you DO NOT attempt an install over the internet. It is also important that you DO NOT do a "lets see if that's fixed it" half way through the procedure...to do so could result in you having to go all the way back to the beginning and starting again!! --- Best Wishes.....John Kelly www.the-kellys.org www.the-kellys.co.uk --- All material gained from other sources is duly acknowledged.

    - Converted MPEG2 movie bitrate to high (PAL)? After converting an AVI file (created by Windows Movie Maker) to MPEG2 using Blaze Media Pro converter to get the fil in the PAL format to burn on a DVD using TMPGEnc DVD Author I get an message that the combined bitrate is to high (9992 kbps instead of the maximum 9848 kbps). Any suggestion what might be wrong since I can't find any options to reduce the bitrate enogh to get below 9848 without totaly destroying the videoquality. Perhaps Blaze Media Pro isn't a suitable program to convert to MPEG2 or I should start of in Windows Movie Maker with another format instead of AVI...? Tag: No Audio from Firewire Capture Tag: 21103

Hi,

I am new to MM2 and have a Panasonic GS11EB DV camcorder connected via a Firewire cable to my PC.

I have captured the video using the MM2 wizard and during the capture I can hear sound through the camcorder playback but no sound is transferred to the PC.

It is recorded in 12bit on the camcorder and there are no other additional audio connections from the camcorder to the PC as I did not think this was required.

Does anyone have any ideas. I really want to hear the sound included in my holiday video.

Many thanks,

Top
