    - Jerky text effects I have a couple of paragraphs in which I use scrolling text with perspective as a special effect. It will sometimes get jerky and not run smoothly through all of the text. Is there anything I can do to stop this? I have tried shortening the text, but with no luck. Is this a common problem or is there possibly a problem with my system? I run a 900MHZ AMD Duron w/768MB RAM, and a 32MB NVidia graphics card. Tag: Audio problem in timeline. Tag: 59481

    - Vista's DVD maker, Re-Rendering with MPEG2 I don't know why if I convert my video to MPEG2, Vista's DVD maker insists on Re-Rendering it again anyway. I didn't have that problem with my old PC (Using Sonic/Roxio, which BTW does not work with Vista). Also Vista takes twice as long to re-render it as my other software does. I really don't like to have to buy all new software. Note: I tried installing Sonic but it removed my DVD drive!! (I had to do a Vista rollback) Vista's DVD cannot use mpeg2 using a separate audio file. (You get no sound) I have to render them into a single MPEG Crzzy1 Tag: Audio problem in timeline. Tag: 59480

    - MM2 is Grouping my photos I made a movie in Photo Story 3 and saved it to my computer (.wmv). Just photos, transitions, and music. I tried to open it in Movie Maker to see if I could tweak one of the songs to fit the ending of the photos (which I had a hard time doing in Photo Story) and it opened the movie in "groups" of photos. Meaning, photos 1-8 were all under one clip, photos 9-30 were under another clip, etc. It opened 6 clips, all with a different number of photos included in them. I can't edit movies made in Photo Story 3 in Movie Maker? What am I doing wrong? Thank you for your time. -- imsyel Tag: Audio problem in timeline. Tag: 59467

    - Codec Problem, PLEASE HELP!! Okay, so I cleaned out my computer about a week ago, then I go to import a video file in Windows Movie Maker and it says: [File name] cannot be imported because the codec required to play the file is not installed on your computer. If you have already tried to download and install the codec, close and restart Windows Movie Maker, and then try to import the file again. It's a .wmv file and I don't understand why i can't fix it. I'm afraid that I accidently deleted the codec when I cleaned my computer out, is there any way I can get the codec back? PLEASE HELP ME!!! :( Tag: Audio problem in timeline. Tag: 59466

    - Screen output as video capture device? Sorry, this is probably a bit silly, but I'm new to this MM-technology. Is it not possible to record events in a window as a video-clip? - I have a TV tuner-card, could I use that as intermediary capture device and have MovieMaker record it from there? Reading the documentation isn't really enlightening about this specific subject - I understand that I need a properly configured Capture Device, but I'd assumed that to include the screen. If anyone could name an alternative, I'd be mighty pleased too! Tony. . . Tag: Audio problem in timeline. Tag: 59413

    - TmpGEnc AVI Files Seem WAY Too Large I wish to import some MPEG-2 files into Windows Moviemaker. Because the problems with Moviemaker and MPEG-2 are well-documented, I decided to use TmpGEnc to convert to uncompressed AVI as an intermediate format acceptable to Moviemaker. The source files are from a JVC Everio camcorder. This device writes MPEG-2 files and tags them with a .MOD extension, which TmpGEnc does not accept, but I found that all I had to do was change the extension to .MPG and that problem disappears. My question is the file size - the output AVI files are, on average, about 1.5 Gigabytes per minute. Does this seem reasonable, and in line with what an uncompressed AVI file should be? I know that mini- DV files, which are not heavily compressed, are about 12 or 13 GB per hour, or about 200 MB per minute. If uncompressed AVI is really supposed to be 1.5 GB per minute, this would imply that mini-DV is already compressed about 7:1, which I find hard to believe. thanks and regards, Martin Tag: Audio problem in timeline.

    - Video sticking I have searched this forum but can't find a similar issue. I saved my video from my Sony SRI to the hard drive of my PC as mpeg 2 files and subsequently created a movie. Everything is fien at this stage and the preview looks good. Then when I render the file as a DV AVI file for playback on my PC the final movie sticks every so often ruining the show. The audi seems fine but every few seconds the video sticks makes the movie suck. Can anyone help? I plan to check the following things: Codecs - I will experiment switching some off and on to see if that makes a difference File format - I will try saving the file as a different format rather than mpeg to avi Tag: Audio problem in timeline.

    - title overlay & syncing to video timeline I'm run into this little annoying tidbit. Titles are placed on the timeline in the "titles overlay" bar. However, they are synced to the overall timeline, and not to their relative place within a video clip, if placed "over" a video clip. Then - if I trim a video - all the video shifts - BUT the overlay titles do not. I then have to manually re-adjust ALL the overlays as they are pasted relative to the timeline, not the clips they are overlaying. I wish that MM would sync the "overlay titles" to the video clip, and keep them in place relative to the start of that specific video clip.... Tag: Audio problem in timeline. Tag: 59335

    - Slightly OT -- Converting WMM files to Flash Does anyone have any experience in converting Windows Movie Maker 2 output in WMV format to Flash files? There are several programs on the market that would appear to do this; their pricing is all over the board, so it is not like comparing apples to apples. I work for a newspaper that has a web site. I'm thinking of using WMM to edit video then saving that as a WMV file. Finally, running it through one of the Flash conversion programs for the finished file. It may also have some possibilities in creating some simple, rich media advertising files. If you have any experience, please post here or simply email your comments directly to me.

    - How / Why is a MEDIATAB1.DAT File created? Is it normal naming co I have aalways been of the impression that when a *.DAT file is created by Moviemaker that it appears as MEDIATAB.DAT or MEDIATAB0.DAT, and that file gets replaced / added to as time progresses. The other day we found a MEDIATAB1.DAT file on the computer that appeared to arrive admist strange circumstances. The usual default file on my PC is for MEDIA0TAB.DAT. Do you have any idea what would have caused this change? Could it be related to a virus, malicious attack or someone just goofing around on my PC? The PC is connected to a network. The OS of the PC is Windows XP Professional, v5.1.2600, SP2. Movie Maker is v2.1.4026.0 Any help is appreciated. HelenD Tag: Audio problem in timeline. Tag: 59322

Audio/video clip from Canon Camera .avi format plays great in media player,
plays great in the "collections" preview screen after importing into MM2.
Drag to timeline and the audio becomes tinny, with sort of a high pitch
squeal in the background.
All kinds of resources and problem happens on desktop and laptop.

avi is just a container which can hold many types of files. As it is a
camera, I suspect you mean stills that takes little videos. Thus the video
may well be divx/mjpeg/mpeg, none of which is compatible with movie maker.
Check out the file types page on my web-site www.myvideoproblems.com -
tutorials - movie maker tutorials
Convert it to wmv using an app from the useful programmes page and all
should be well.
