    - CES Announcements and MM2 The annual tradition of making significant announcements at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) continues... on Wednesday Bill Gates made the keynote address to the attendees, Press Releases have been streaming out, and some websites are overloaded with traffic. ... so what's in it for users of Movie Maker 2? - here's two things I see: 1... The first of a new boxed 2-disc set of movies is now available for purchase. The movie is Coral Reef Adventure which was made for IMAX Theatres. The first disc in the set isn't that newsworthy as it is a standard DVD. But the second disc is a new WMV-HD disc (High Definition), which has two copies of the movie in WMV format. The WMV files have over 6 times the resolution of the DVD version. And the movie is really great. One copy is 1280x720 and runs smoothly on my laptop, which meets the recommended minimum CPU of 2.4 GHz. The other copy is 1440x1080 and doesn't run smoothly for me.... it needs the recommended 3.0 GHz CPU. For Movie Maker 2 users, I studied the parameters of the 1280x720 file and made a custom profile so I can take my widescreen holiday videos and produce them at those settings... the only thing I had to compromise on was the audio... MM2 is limited to 2 channel stereo and the disc has 5.1 sound. I put a copy of my custom profile on the website and updated the Saving Movies > Custom WMV Profiles page with some info and a link to it... 2... DVD players that support the WMV format are on the horizon for April... I updated the CD Burning > HighMAT page of my website and included a few links... The error message when clicking on the Apex link seems due to '... the amount of traffic exceeds the Web site's configured capacity...' _________________ PapaJohn www.papajohn.org Tag: Burning to DVD Tag: 10026

    - Movie file too big to copy from hard disk I have created an edited movie that is almost 15GB... my hard drive is a 30GB and I can't create enough temp file space to copy the movie over to a DVD or DV-Camera... My questions are these: 1. Is there a way to compress the original capture file to a smaller size than the 15GB? 2. The eidted master file for the movie is only 1.5GB (about 50 mins of content) ... is there someway to delete the original capture keep the edir file and then 'compress' the original capture. 3. I've tried freeing disk space but I don't have enough resident on the C: drive... I have an external drive E: that can hold 120GB. Can I use that as a temp storage swap drive? 4. I can't even copy the original capture to my external because it's just too big to come out of my laptop... any ideas will be greatly appreciated as this project took me 4 days of editing and I'd hate to start from scratch... P.S. - If I do have to start over what is the largest 'safe' file to work with? Tag: Burning to DVD Tag: 10024

    - "A video capture device was not detected...." why? Shiney new Sony PC-RS430G, everything works as advertised...save for MM2. When I select "Capture Video" MM2 simply responds that "A video capture device was not detected...". There aren't any controls (that I can find) that allow me to teach the darn software about the fact that I do have a video capture device... that works just fine with "Sony" applications (which generally suck badly).

    - Stupid question, annoying problem....help? Everytime I try and open files that I am editing in Windows Movie Maker, it will load the project but whenever I go to play the movie or do anything to it in any sense...Windows Movie Maker closes! It doesn't close when I play files that I've captured and have in my "collections" but it instantly closes whenever I attempt to do anything to an edited project. Argh! What am I doing wrong? Please help someone, this is so frustrating! Thanks very much = ) Tag: Burning to DVD Tag: 10022

    - Help with editing audio in mm2 needed - please I have created a project with a series of video clips (with audio) interspersed with the odd title page and still photo. What I now want to do, is to overlay some audio/music soundtracks that only play during the title pages or over selected stills, allowing the sound of the video to play when they come into view. Therefore, I'm looking at being able to set the audio/music to fade out when it comes to a selected point, the video/audio comes in at this point, then the music audio fades back in at the selected point, which would be at the end of a video section. However, I do not want to keep re-starting the same music/audio at the beginning, basically, I want to mute or pause the music at certain points for specific durations. It seems a basic requirement to me but this is the first time I've done anything like this and I can't find a way of doing it. Can it be done and how? Many Thanks Steve Tag: Burning to DVD Tag: 10017

    - "Unspecified Error" when opening MM2 When I try to open Movie Maker 2 or Microsoft Producer 2003, I get an "Unspecified Error" message and the application fails to open. The problem seems to be specific to my Windows XP profile (i.e. when I'm logged on as someone else it works fine), but this presents a significant problem to me. Has anyone seen this problem? It must lie in some shared component between the two applications. Thanks. Tag: Burning to DVD Tag: 10014

    - MM2 movie skips during title pages on DVD, problem not present in preview Ok, I've made several movies in MM2, they look and sound great in preview on MM2. I am saving them as DV-AVI files and using Roxio ECDDVDC to burn to DVD. When I preview the movie in Roxio, it looks fine. However, the movie on the DVD stalls, and stutters (including audio cutout, dropped frames, etc.) during titles. If the titles are animated the problem is worse. I exported the movie back to my camcorder and it played just fine, however, when I re-imported the movie from the camcorder into a new MM2 project and burned the resulting movie, it had all the same problems the first dvd had. I have no problems with audio cutout or skipping during transitions, and again, everything looks fine, even when previewed in roxio. Tag: Burning to DVD Tag: 9995

    - DV capture freezes -Hotfix?- When trying to capture video VIA firewire from my Sony DCR-TRV230 to Movie Maker the video preview freezes after several seconds and it stops capturing, even though the camera rolls along as if it's still working. I've looked at Papajohn's pages, tried a few things to no avail. Here's the thing: MS has a "Hotfix" on this page: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN- US;830363 This is reportedly a "confirmed problem" for XP with SP1 and DirectX 9- my configuration. But I have an OEM version of XP Home, so apparently they want to charge me money for this "Hotfix." Is there any way to aquire the hofix without shelling out more $$$ to MS? Any kind soul out there already download it and willing to share? Many thanks! Tag: Burning to DVD Tag: 9990

    - only audio, but no video in timeline playback A few weeks ago I posted this: Whenever I try to play the full timeline back in MM2, it plays the sound but doesn't display the clips or titles. (It won't even preview title text whilst I'm setting up a title). However, it will play both the sound and pictures for individual clips from the collection before I place them on timeline. The timeline only has a couple of very very short clips, so there shouldn't be a length/size of clip issue. The same computer also still has MM1 on and will successfully playback the timeline in that version. and I received this reply: If they are MPEG2 clips, it's probably a codec issue. The clips I've tried are a WMV's but I've also tried with avi files & still have same problem. Have installed WMP9 for Windows XP, but still no joy. Other ideas welcome! Tag: Burning to DVD Tag: 9988

    - Sound I captured video to Window Movie Maker 2 and edited it, seemed OK. Then I saved it as .wmv format. Again MyDVD Preview Mode all was OK, so I burnt it onto a +DVD. However, on the finished DVD there is a specific sound sync problem. It is OK for most of the project until you come to a title without audio inserted into the "storyline". After the title, the video continues, but the sound does not restart until 6 seconds into the video. For the rest of the film the sound-track remains the same exact 6 seconds behind the video. This is only on the finished DVD. I have tried re-burning, but exactly the same problem. Any ideas please? Thanks, Peter. Tag: Burning to DVD Tag: 9937

DVD on my Sony Burner and it says something about invalid

Sorry I did a little more researching on it and it
