    - PS3 stories in MM: wich profile for best result? Good morning, I am working on a MM project (PAL, 4:3) including both DV-AVI clips from a camcorder and PS stories made from 4:3 high quality pictures. After editing, I want to save as dv-avi, compress with TMPGenc and author with IfoEdit. My question: in order to have the best possible result from this, which profile should I choose when generating my PS stories to be inserted in MM? Thank you in advance.

    - Movie Maker stops capturing 15 min into a 1hr miniDV tape While trying to capture all of a 1hour mini DV tape Movie Maker will only record the first 15 minutes and while it still syas that it is capturing, the time & the file size do not continue to increase. A task manager check of applications shows that the System Idle process is using 98% of the cycles. And, the cameras time counter is at over 30 minutes while the capture counter has only reached 15 minutes. This is the first time I have ever tried using Movie Maker, and I do have an nVidia 6600GT graphics card in my box, with driver version 7.7.7.7 from July 2005. Also uning a Sony mini DV DCR-HC32 camcorder for playback via firewire. Anyone else have a similar prob? I have searched this group, papajohns, google and am not able to find any similar problems/solutions. ~ Thx ~ Tag: Can't fast forward my finished movie. Tag: 43594

    - Importing recorded video saved via Media Center? I'm very new to MM so please be gentle. I have recorded some programs on my PC using Media Center and want to import them into MM. Under capture video I can capture from device or import video. I have captured video from my Sony Digital8 camera just fine and it looks like I can capture "live" TV with the video card in the pc but how do I access a show (video) that I recorded? I tried the "Import Video" but I don't know where Media Center stores recorded programs or even the file ext used. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. -- BEF Tag: Can't fast forward my finished movie. Tag: 43590

    - Playback Missing Pic but not sound later in saved version I Have what I want, can save it in it's entirety in low format when saving as movie file, the High Quality (Small) but it's crappy quality, if I try to save to High Quality (Large) Or High Quality NTSC or most Best Fit for my computer, at some point, 7-9 mins into the 15 min slide show, the audio keeps going & the picture hangs up or goes to black, never coming back, just audio from that point on.

    - burning to Nero Start Smart When I attempt to "add" any of my completed movie files to my list of items to burn to DVD, I get the message "no compatible file found".

    - "Anchoring" Audio Clips to Adjacent Video in Timeline Can it be done? I'm working on a promo video for a singer friend, which will be a collage of clips from various performances. The video (and poor-quality audio) were captured from DV tape shot at the events. I also have good-quality audio clips dubbed straight from the mixer board. BAsically I'm adding the good audio clips to the timeline, shifting until they synchronize with the poor audio on the video clips, and then muting the bad audio. The problem is that I have 4 or 5 video and a corresponding 4 or 5 audio clips to combine into one 3-minute feature. If I decide to fine-tune anything on the video line (such as slightly stretching a fade), I lose audio synch for that clip as well as all following clips. I can re-synch, but it's annoying. I've tried saving each individual clip with it's synched audio, and then combining the 4 or 5 clips, but that turns out to be far too restrictive of any tweaking I might want to do. Basically I want each sub-clip to start with a title and fade to video, with the synched audio fading in before the video transition (somewhere in the middle of the title). And I want to be able to make length and transition adjustments to the title without de-synching the sound from the main video. BTW, thanks to all who emailed me and recommended reading the "Zero to Hero" book, I bought it and it's helpful. But it's just reinforcing what I'm beginning to suspect, ie MM2 is a great tool for a beginner to get his feet wet, but perhaps it falls short in flexibility once you want to get a little more creative. thanks, Martin Tag: Can't fast forward my finished movie.

    - Saving MovieMaker or Photostory output to DVD's I have made completed several projects with Moviemaker and Photostory. When using the .wmv files and Roxio Easy Media creator 7.5 I am having numerous problems. When writing to dvd-r's I have some success but a lot of pauses and skips. When writing to dvd +rw's I appear to have total success. All of the dvd+rws play on my home dvd player. When writing to dvd+r's, I have had no success. All of the DVD's I have created work fine on my computer. My dvd burner is at least 3 years old and my home dvd player is 4 years old. Does anyone have any suggestions.

    - Movie Maker Dies... I have some video that I have extracted using Intervideo DVD Copy product. Basically I have extracted a small chapter from a disc. I need to edit the file to shorten it.. so I thought I would use the Movie Maker for that. When I import the video I get a critical error and basically I am told that memory could not be read at some hex location... and then when I click ok the program dies. If I import MPEG or AVI/Divx that is exported from this Intervideo product this happens. If I import WMV it does not happen but there is some loss.. I would really like to use the AVI... any thoughts? I went to Intervideo and they wanted me to restore my OS install... dumb of course. The machine is a new install of XP SP2... it is plenty of horsepower too. I am really at a loss... The videos all play fine in Media Player so why would I not be able to import them? Perhaps a missing filter or something? Tag: Can't fast forward my finished movie. Tag: 43529

    - MCE2005 - DVD Option I've been checking my new HP notebook computer to learn more about the DVD burning option within Movie Maker... on a MCE2005 version of Windows XP.

    - Saving a Video file as original 304 x 224, is there a easier way? I have created a Divx 6 video. I want to edit this file using Windows Movie Maker. Once I've edited this video, and saved it as a High Small Video File it changes divx to wmv and also the video to 320 x 240 different from original. In order for me to change it back as the original I have to install a Profile Editor which is included with Windows Media Encoder package. Would I save the file as a MPEG-4 Video V1? Is this the only way? Thank you.

When I captured the video, the camera was rotated 90 degrees. After import into moviemaker, I rotated the clip 90 degrees to set things right, but moviemaker apparently "stretched" the result in the horizontal direction (instead of inserting bars or something), so now the aspect ratio of objects and and people is messed up.

Good question, I hope someone can help. When you saved your movie to CD, did
you convert it to MPEG?
