    - Re: Catastrophic Failure Well I checked the gif file and the dimensions are 639x476, it contains about 300 frames, and it's about 90 seconds long. It doesn't seem like its that big, but I guess I don't know all of the technical constraints of Movie Maker. Also, to help you out and let you know, if you see loss of quality in your gif file on the storyboard/videostream screen, the quality will return to almost perfect on the movie when you've saved it as a movie file. >-----Original Message----- >What are the pixel dimensions of the gif? > >MM2 doesn't import a copy of the file, just enough to create a big >thumbnail, along with the pointers to the source file.

    - Movie Maker My goal is to create a slideshow that has ~800 photos in it with around 14 music clips. The file says that it is about 400 MB big and the CD should hold about 700. I have broken it down into 3 smaller files to see if I can get it to create, it doesn't really freeze the computer, but say the initial create time is 60 minutes, it gets about 30-50% complete and then the time just keeps increasing and no more completion. I have been successful with a small 30 photo slideshow with music....but nothing larger. Also, with the small video I did create, the slideshow did not fill the screen when played....It had like a tv looking screen with sound, play, etc. buttons....Will it fill the screen so that each picture covers the screen.

When I capture video with MM2 from my VCR through my capture card(AverEZ- DVD Maker) It captures the video and audio just fine but, when it's actually capturing the video the actual video in the preview window is distorted so I can't see what I'm capturing. But I can hear the audio just fine.I've checked all the settings and made sure there not in PAL mode. I would really like to see my video in the preview window when capturing.

    - Re: Catastrophic Failure Animated Gifs arn't supported as video files, but are however accepted as picture files. Which means they can be accepted through the 'Import Pictures' function. As I have said in my previous statement, my other .gif files were accepted. When you equip them to the videostream/storyboard and hit play, they play out the animation of the animated gif. *Helpful Hint for those who want to make their own original Intro/Credits* The actual problem was that it wont accept the one certain larger .gif file. THE OTHERS WORK FINE. My question is; Is there a problem with the image importing portion, seeing all of the 'loss of quality' posts and if so, would that particular portion of the program have a limit to the size of files it accepts. >-----Original Message----- >Matthew, > >Animated gifs are not one of the video file types supported by MM2 > >PapaJohn > >"Matthew" <mega_matt@hotmail.com> wrote in message >news:021a01c3681d$cc583920$a601280a@phx.gbl... >> For some reason, whenever I try to import one of my .gif >> files into movie maker, it gives and error message >> saying "the file could not be imported.

    - Audio/Music tracks Hi - Movie Maker is great, but it's audio controls appear to be lacking. I want to have background music in my video, but I cannot see how to control things like fade in or out or volume with any kind of precision. There are no controls on the audio/music track in the storyboard that let's me visually see where volume changes or fade in and out occurs, so I cannot precisely synchronize with the video and audio track. Any tips about how better to control the audio settings? Are there any add-ons I can buy that will help with this? - Dylan Tag: Cannot open capture device Tag: 4171

    - Capturing Profiles Not Found Hello There, For posterity, I think its important that this fix be listed here. For some unknown reason, Windows Movie Maker started complaining that "Capturing Profiles Not Found". The capture had previously been working flawlessly for some 6-8 months. After finding no reference to this issue on the web, a little toying found that installation of Windows Media Player 9 codecs solved this issue. PHEEWW! Lotsa luck!

    - DV-AVI format Having a bit of difficulty with this format... When saving to DV-AVI format, MM2 saves the file at 352 x 288, even though the source file is 640 x 480. This is bad enough for video footage, but even worse for any titles/graphics I have added as they look appalling at this resolution. The only way I can save a movie at a high res (640 or over) is in WMV format, which is fine until I convert to MPEG2 for SVCD creation. Any ideas? Craig Tag: Cannot open capture device Tag: 4145

    - Audio problems when recording back to tape Help!!!! I have a problem with the audio track (background music) I added to my movie. First I muted the audio from the video so only the background music I added is heard. The video is edited with various clips from a longer video. When I try to put my project back to tape (from computer onto DV Tape), the audio I added jumps (interrupts) for a second. I think the original video audio is causing the problem and have muted it and done everything else but the music track still jumps when the video changes to a different scene. I even recorded the entire video back to computer so there would be not breaks in it and used it in a new project with the audio track and it still jumps. I can't figure this one out, someone please help Tag: Cannot open capture device Tag: 4144

    - I can't send movies in E mails I installed a Samsung Digimax V4 camera and can send photos no problems in media. To start with everything worked fine, and I was able to send small video clips by e mail with movie maker. I now appear to be stuck on one particular movie, shot in may. Now, although I can load clips I've taken onto my own PC , any movies at all that I try to send, (even to myself) come out as this one particular movie dated back in May. I cant get rid of it. Even though the file properties show the new clips, when I send them , they still turn out to be this same one. The only possible explanation I can come up with is that in mid may, I got Movie maker updated to movie maker 2, I cant remember where from. I've a feeling the trouble stems from then. Is there a patch I need, or should I do a system restore back to may, as I dont know how else to remove Movie maker2. I'd prefer to uninstall MM2 rather than do a system restore. please advise me.

    - Terrible video output & green screens on clip library Hello, First, thanks to Papa John's fixes page, I was able to keep WMM2 from crashing constantly when trying to use an effect or transition. Thanks! Secondly, I have a huge problem. My video output is terrible. The only way I can describe it is to say it looks like a 3 year old went wild with fingerpaints. :> I have uninstalled codecs (Nimo Codec Pack), I have recompressed any clips I'm using into mpegs, I've defragged, upgraded to DirectX 9.0b, Windows Media 9, and still I cannot make WMM2 stop rendering my finished movies into... crap. Most of the time I can't even make out the difference between the scenery and the people in the clip (but the audio is just fine, which indicated to me that it was a video codec... which is why I uninstalled everything). As if that weren't enough, most of the clips in my clip library (which I have set to thumbnails) are green. They were green before I uninstalled the extra codecs, and after. I'm beginning to wonder if WMM2 is just designed to give you poor results if you're not using proprietary media from Microsoft. Tag: Cannot open capture device Tag: 4114

    - please help....soon Ok!!! Big Problem!!!! My friends and i recently got together for a reunion, i recorded the events with my JVC Digital camcorder, with MiniDV, model no. GR-DVL320U. I promised everyone that I'd edit the footage with my computer, VAIO Windows XP Home, PCV-RX755. I transfered the files to my computer, with Movie Maker 2 Video Capture Wizard, using AR Acoustic Research proseries II IEEE 1394 4 pin to 6 pin cable. I edited it using Movie Maker 2, but when i transfered the finished product back to my camcorder, the audio had breaks in some parts making the quality really bad. We've experienced this problem before and were told to send it to get cleaned, but the problem was only temporarily fixed. We tried contacting JVC, but they've been not very much help. Someone please help! Tag: Cannot open capture device Tag: 4089

    - QASF.DLL while trying to capture a movie with movie maker 2 i recieved an error that said mm had to close.When i looked in the event viewer the report it said Faulting module qasf.dll version 9.0. I also noticed i could not manually capture any video.the size of the file would stay at 3Kb but the minutes would pass. I had a look at papajohn.org bit it only said about updating the dll file om 6.0 to 9.0. Any help appreciated. Tag: Cannot open capture device Tag: 4075

    - White bar obscures clips - MM1_XP-VHS Some VHS video feeds to MM1 are obscured by a horizontal white bar filling the middle 1/3 of clip image. In one case this occurred with every second clip ; in another every third clip and in another all clips were clear. All clips 'run' ok with sound but the white bars obscure the clips for short while. Has anyoone any idea what may cause this intermittent problem? TIA Tag: Cannot open capture device Tag: 4071

    - Some VHS d/l clips obscured by horizontal bar in MM1 I have just got started and have d'l three VHS videos into MM1 - All works well EXCEPT - in one case a white horizontal bar obscures the middle 1/3 of every second clip and in the other case obscures every third clip.In the third case there is no bar at all and it works perfectly. When the "barred" clips are run they respond correctly with sound and motion and the white bar seems to disapear automatically after a moment of clip running. I have to experiment further; however has anyone experienced this phenomina??? TIA russ Tag: Cannot open capture device Tag: 4070

    - 1394 video capture with Sony MICROMV IP-55 I have just upgraded my Digital Video Camera from a Sony Handycam to a Sony MICROMV IP55. Neither movie-maker or the Sony supplied Pixel software recognises the 1394 connection. It is fine on both SW packages for the Handycam. When I look on the hardware profile the Handycam is recognised as an imaging device but the MICROMV is listed as a multifunction device in the Sound, Video games listing. Trouble shooting just asks question on audio Anyone know what could be wrong I have tried to re-install and on 2 computers but with same result Both are running Windows XP Richard Tag: Cannot open capture device Tag: 4067

    - mm2 stop responding When using mm2 it stops responding. Doesn't do it all the time and if I let it sit for awhile it will start running again. I talked to other people who have said that they have the same problem. Is there a fix for this problem? Tag: Cannot open capture device Tag: 4065

I just upgraded to Movie Maker 2. Movie Maker 1.1 worked
just fine with my hardware, however, everytime I hit the
capture from video device button, I get a message saying
the device is in use. I know that it isn't in use - there
aren't any applications that can use my video device
running at the time. As I said earlier, the previous
version worked fine. Has anyone else encountered this?
