    - video and sound out of sync After finishing my movie in MM2, I used Sonic MyDVD software to burn the movie to DVD. When playing the movie on my DVD player, the video and sound were out of sync, and some of the video was jerky. I didn't have this issue when I used Sonic by itself to make a movie, but I have very little editing capabilities with Sonic software. Is there any work around this problem?

    - Will MS ever fix the title crash? What's the deal with this titles/effect crash that seems to account for 50% of the posts in this forum? Are microsoft going to fix it so people don't have to go and play with XP dispay settings, and give Papa John a break or what? Correct me if I am wrong, but no other movie editor requires the user to adjust their display settings before use, and then reset them again after. -- Rocky [ICQ UIN 41113560] www.GhostRecon.net | www.AGR-S.com --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

    - Importing VHS Movies to Computer I have 30-40 VHS movies each with 6 hours of video. I have imported digital video to my computer using Movie Maker 2 and about 1 hour of video translates to about 1GB of disk space (using video for local playback 2.1 mbps). I would like to keep the quality of the VHS tapes to at least a reasonable level when I bring the video into my computer. Ultimately I am planning to burn the videos to DVD. My question is this: what are the best settings in Movie Maker 2 to keep the quality at a good/reasonable level, but also keep the file size to a reasonable level? I would like to avoid creating 180-240 DVDs of our home movies so I'm looking for the best settings to be able to get the most VHS video on a DVD at a time. Thanks! Tag: Capture problem Tag: 2754

    - How I fixed MM2 from quiting all the time I tried every thing on the Papjohn site and still experienced MM2 stopping when ever I tried any editing feature on any video clip. I have built in audio on my Asus P4B533E motherboard. The built in audio chip and driver is from Cmedia. Installed the latest Cmedia drivers and still had problems. I then installed a Creative labs Soundblaster 16 and disabled the cmedia software and hardware. Now MM2 is very stable on my computer and working great. My Computer specs: Asus P4B533E with P4 2.66 1gb memory 1- 80gb maxtor 1- 160gb maxtor 1- 40gb WD raid drive ATI all in wonder Radeon - (I'm going to replace with a Nvidia) I have been capturing VHS through my Canon ZR-50 DV Camcorder, but I loose audio sync after about 45 minutes. I'm moving to a Canopus capture/DV-converter card. I think the ATI card's output is horrible. The Canon never drops frames and is outstanding for 45 minute videos or less.

    - Plus! DME Transitions (I guess I could just try this and see what happens, but I thought I would try to save some time and ask the question here first....) I've been using MM2 (Plus! DME installed) with no problems . I've been working on a video that I am going to end up putting back on DV tape. My final video will be two video of about 45 minutes each (I have to do this so that I can get all 90 minutes of video onto a VHS tape). Right now I only have about 5 minutes of video on my story board. I've noticed that when I drag a DME transition and play the transition in the preview, it looks jerky/dropped frames. When I add some non-DME transitions, the same thing happens. Then there are some transitions I add that play smoothly when I add them. What I'm wondering is, if I left the transitions that are jerky, when I save my final project, will they be jerky too, or is there a chance it will play smoothly?? Thanks for any and all responses, stefan Tag: Capture problem Tag: 2700

    - Dropped frames > 8fps with Personal Cinema Any obvious things I'm doing wrong here? I have the latest WDM and display drivers for the Personal Cinema GeForce 4 MX440, running on AMD 2Ghz WinXP with all updates. When I capture in from my composite source, I get dropped frames (about 1 in 5) at anything over about 8 fps. Have tried both Adobe Premiere 6 and Windows Movie Maker. The device is, I think, capable of 768 x 576 at 25fps. Any ideas? Cheers. Tag: Capture problem Tag: 2699

I can't capture anything in Matrox Tools. Basically, I'd uninstall, but you can't unintsall Movie Maker or Movie Maker 2.

    - Recording movie back to DV camera When I attempt to record my completed movie back to DV camera, I get the message that my movie has not been recorded to tape. No reason why not. Just a link to a menu on how to record back to DV Cam, which I know about and have checked all the options thoroughly. Other movies will record back- this one will not. It is not overly long (about 20 mins) and not overly big (I have plenty of disk space).

    - The best solution for our problems... I've got a suggestion... why doesn't someone post date their computer 6 months or so, and post a message to this gorup called 'MM2 hangs when I try to use a transition', and in it, we put the remedy (or at least the link to PJ's wonderful site!). That way, there'll be no more people asking about it, and it'll always be there to be solved! Just a thought!!! Tag: Capture problem Tag: 2624

    - WMM2 quits everytime I select a transition or effect Every time I bring up the list of transitions or effects as soon as I select one of the icons and release the mouse button WMM2 quits. This happens if I just click on the effect or if I drag it to a clip and release the mouse button. It happens if the the storyboard is clear or has clips on it so I guess it's nothing to do with the video clips themselves but the effects. Any ideas? Tag: Capture problem Tag: 2613

    - Trouble loading movie maker 2 I recently got hit with a nasty system wide virus (win32.pinfi) that attacked most of my .exe files including Movie Maker 2 executable. I have managed to wipe the virus off the puter but am having heaps of issues after same. One issue was with my older installation of Movie Maker 2 on XP Professional where I got intermittent errors with streaming video and the gui would crash when trying to use any transitions between files. I tried to hack the registry to remove Movie Maker 2 only to later find it is rather a unique installation (read: dozens of registry entries). I tried downloading the Movie Maker 2 .exe again only to have Movie Maker 1 launch each and every time. Any hints/ideas on how to blow the Movie Maker 1 away and update with Movie Maker 2 again?

    - 'Clip' trimming? Followed the instructions letter-by-letter in the MM2 Help file, but I just don't get it. I just want to remove commercials from some TV programs I've taped and captured with MM2. Grabbing the handles and dragging, right to left, or left to right, is not defined, so assume it does not matter? The section BETWEEN the two 'trim handles' turns a purplish color when dragging. Again, not defined. Is it the purple portion between the handles that gets deleted? Invariably, I end up deleting all or portions of a clip that I don't want deleted. Sometimes, the deletion carries over to parts of previous or succeding clips. Anyone point me to a more detailed online explanation of just how to correctly use these 'trim handles'? The MightyCoach site requires QuickTime video which I cannot install at my LAN based site. Appreciate some direction on correct methods of trimming. Thanks! Tag: Capture problem Tag: 2611

    - av -> dv Converter My DV camera has an AV to DV converter. I would like to edit some VHS home movies on WMM2. I can see the VHS signal in the preview window; however when I try to capture the video, WMM automaticaly starts playing the DV tape, which overrides the VHS signal passing through the DV cammera. My video camera (canon zr50) suggested running the AV -> DV converter with no tape installed. I tried this, but WMM2 gives a "no tape present" error. The only solution I have found is a two step process: record to DV tape, then capture in WMM2. This takes twice as long. Has anyone done this? Any help to get AV -> DV converter to capture correctly would be appreciated. Tag: Capture problem Tag: 2592

    - Sound distortion with WMP9/MovieMaker2 playing AVIs [CMI8738 onboard sound and DX sound hardware acceleration] hi, i was looking around on google and found that many others seem to have the same problem. The problem actually comes in two parts: *** I have AVI videos which contain an 8bit PCM sound stream (as recorded by my camera). When i play these videos in WMP9 i get a 'swooshing' sound which resembles a washing machine. First i thought it has to do with the camera, but yesterday i found out i can get rid of the distortion by switching back sound hardware acceleration two notches. (Basic Acceleration). Any one a idea why i have to switch back h/w accerleration and what causes the 'washing machine sound' ? Codecs ? WMP9 ?? *** MovieMaker2: When i play my videos as clips in MM2 the sound is fine. But when i put the clips in the time line and play the clips it sounds very distorted, like MM2 compresses the sound wrong.... high pitch and distortion. I was reading around and i read that some people say certain codecs may confuse each other...but this is easier said than done. I dont think that blindly renaming codecs is a good solution. And, yes, i have both WinDVD5 and PowerDVD5 installed. The problem is kind of serious because it makes the sound of all my videos sound horrible, and as it seems it happens *only* ??? in MovieMaker2. My config: Win XP SP1, AMD1900+, Radeon8500, DX9a, Cmedia 8738 onboard sound, latest drivers and bioses etc Tag: Capture problem Tag: 2506

MicroMV is not DV-AVI it is an MPEG (compressed) format and requires special
support. Pinnacle touted support for MicroMV mpeg as one of the new features
in Studio 8. They were the first to offer this. You have to specifically ask
the other companies.
