mswmm "save movie" and nero audio issue
Help-I edited and saved two "projects" then saved as a "movie"(s). I open
nero "smartessentials" and create a dvd. I browse to "add video files." I add
both wmv files.
When I preview to either add chapters or just preview, the audio is
corrupted.
I successfully burn dvd's with MovieMaker using the exact same clips/files,
and play them using mm, nero, and a plain dvd player.
But if I try to put 1 or more files together using nero, the audio corrupts.
I found "filter" options in mm, and I unchecked them (4 Nero filters listed)
per mm instructions to supposedly resolve "conflicts" or "issues...".
Resaved and imported...No luck.

Clips Upside down
Hi
I am a total novice at Windows Movie Maker. I have managed to import all my

video importing
I recently found 8mm family film and had it transferred to DVD by a video
transfer service. The file I received is video.ts. I would like to prepare
clips from the video and make a movie in WMM. Is this possible to do? If
so, where can I find information or tutorials on how to prepare the video and
then import it into WMM. As you can see by my question, I am a beginner and
may not even be asking the proper questions. I would really like to learn... Tag: Blurry Edge or Dream Effect Tag: 63325

DVD Authoring
Next question, I do have Nero, I have text boxes set up to denote the next
family in my DVD project and would like to put my chapters there, but the
slider bar isn't stopping on my text boxes and the music I put in overlaps
into the next families, can that cause a problem?
Also, is there a way to move my project (at a later time) from Windows Movie
Maker into Ulead Studio Pro?
I had got Ulead after I had already done my project in WMM, would love to
use that program and have been told it is a little more complicated than WMM.
Thanks

Rendered Video Crop Cuts Off Top of Frame
Hello, I am importing .avi format video 512x384 30fps into MovieMaker from a
GoPro Hero3 camera. I have a clip in which most of the relevant detail is at
the very top of the frame. Whenever I render to .wmv file (NTSC 4:3), the
frame is cropped so that I lose the data I am trying to follow. I have tried
no effects and also the Pixelan A1 Hold effect. Both have the same problem.
I also tried most of the available output format options in MovieMaker (High
Res Video, NTSC, etc.), all result in same crop/clip problem.
Does anyone know why my rendered video is getting cropped so that the top
~5% of the frame is lost?
Related question: Available output formats for NTSC 4:3 seem to support
very small 160 pixels wide, small 320x240, larger 640x480, and 720x480. I am
sure there are a few more options for PAL and 16:9. However, I cannot find a
way to render to output 512x384 to match my input resolution.
Is there a way to render 512x384 resolution?
What is the standard way of dealing with this input format?
- Thanks, David Tag: Blurry Edge or Dream Effect Tag: 63313
Clips
I have a family DVD I have done, is there a way to go in now and add numbers
(clips -i assume is how it is termed) so that I can seperate the 10 families
on this DVD, for example my great grandparents as Clip 1 and then my great
uncles' family as clip 2 and so on, so that there is a number seperation,
like when you are watching movie DVD's, so that if you wanted to skip to a
particular family, you could do that??

Can't save as a movie file
OK, I am pretty adept at WMM. I got a newer computer to be able to handle the
requirements of video editing etc. However, after a few months of success
(also having converted analog to digital and edited it, movie maker will no
longer allow me to save my projects (long OR short--and I mean even 2 minutes
here) as an AVI-DV file. I refuse to save as anything else as I want to keep
the quality (especially of my DV stuff). I have spent HOURS with MS support
and am on level 3 at present but STILL they cannot figure out the problem.
When I save as AVI-DV, it starts to save and the minutes count down, but then
they stop and begin to count up to infinity if I'd let them. HELP!!! The
whole reason I bought this new computer was so I could do these videos of
family footage to give as Christmas presents. PLEASE help! Mr. Inzer---I've
seen a lot of your replies and hope you have some ideas. And yes, I have
Explorer 7 but have always had it on this machine even when MMaker was

same problem.
It will let me on it for a few moments before it closes and I tried to view

Shuts off without notice
Hi!
I'm in desperate need of some help here. Checked papaJohn's site but it all
flew over my head, really. So if anyone could explain this to me in a way I
can understand I'd be eternally grateful!
Didn't have so much trouble with Movie Maker in the beginning, but starting
a few months ago it crashed whenever I imported a too large file and cut out
some scenes. Lately it'd freeze even if the imported file was a small one.
Now it's started to shut down (without any notice of error) when saving the
file as a film or mp3. It saves half-way, then shuts down.
I really need some help with this!
(And my english isn't too good neither, maybe that's why I can't really
understand PapaJohn's site)

Editing clip names
When I sort clips by NAME which is the date and time (2/21/2002 9:23 AM) I

created. It would have to be 2002/02/21 03:04:37 AM or yyyy/mm/dd hh:mm:33 ap

are very few animations. Is there a way to get more title animations? Tag: Blurry Edge or Dream Effect Tag: 63226
Highest Resolution for Slides?
Hi,
I used MM a year ago to make a slide show in .wmv format (with great
results) and am trying to relearn some of the finer points I've forgotten. (I
prefer MM to PS mainly because I find it easier to synch the images to music.)
I am making another slide show of about 300 digital photos. All of my images
were taken with a 4mp digicam and edited in Photoshop, but left at their
native resolution of 2272x1704x72dpi.
I did a trial run and tried to save my project as a .wmv file, using a
profile I think I downloaded from PapaJohn's site last year:
SlideShow-1024x768WMV9. (I am aiming for the absolute highest quality
possible.) When I went to create the .wmv file, I got an error message about
the file size being too big or something to that effect. Is this the FAT-32
issue that I've read about in other posts on this forum?
If using the above profile, should I downsize my images to 1024x768? Will
that affect final output quality? I ran another test with the images at
800x600, but while it wrote the .wmv file, the image quality was noticeably
less. I then did a third test, using only about 60 images - but still at
2272x1704 - and it turned out fabulous.
So I guess my question is: Are the images sized at 2272x1704 wasting pixels
and increasing the file size unnecessarily, given the limitations of the
1024x768 output? And if this isn't a FAT-32 issue, are there any other
workarounds?
I was thinking I could break the project into 5 or 6 smaller increments and
reassemble (I have BlazeMediaPro which can do this) but am unsure of how the
stitch points will look, and would have to separate them by musical piece.
Additionally, I would not be able to put transitions at those points, either,
and between songs are some of the more obvious places to have transitions.
Sorry for the long-winded post. Any ideas or advice would be welcome!
Thanks! Tag: Blurry Edge or Dream Effect Tag: 63211

Now it is just crashing. I come back to it and the computer has restarted -

that says it's a device driver problem. I don't know what this could be.
I've tried a number of things I've seen online, including unchecking, moving
the temp file to my recently defragmented "D" drive, I don't display preview
during capture. I don't understand codecs, but I have a lot of .ax files
show up (81) when I search for them in My Computer. Only two come up in the

Movie Maker 6.0 for Vista
I'm trying to save a movie sildeshow I did in movie maker 6.0 for

hosting service SplashCast so I could put it on my website. That's
what I want to do again, but the closest way to save it that's like
the previous xp version in the new Movie Maker is by clicking on

Compatibility List (Codecs/Filters) in MM2.1
Here's a sideline note about Movie Maker 2.1, something I found when working
on my latest project... a 4-1/2 minute flick about Chicago. Source files
were DV-AVI files, about 6 WMA music files, and a WMV Photo Story. The
project and source files were on an external USB drive.
My laptop's Tools > Options > compatiblity tab codec/filter list had 62 line
items. By default all but one or two were checked, which lets the unchecked
ones 'work with' with Movie Maker.
- With the default settings it took a full 4 minutes to open the project
file
- With all line items unchecked it took 5 seconds to open... and project
editing worked snappier and fine
This sets the stage for a change in routine use of Movie Maker
- I tend to let software work with its defaults until I have an issue to
resolve or a specific setting to change... so 60 codecs were allowed to
interface.
- I'm now going to leave all the line items unchecked and turn them on one
at a time as needed... such as the ffdshow codec to be able to use Motion
JPEG video files.
It also makes me wonder what's happening during the project opening. Why
with the 60 codecs checked does it take so long? More to ponder.
