Jerky text effects
I have a couple of paragraphs in which I use scrolling text with perspective
as a special effect. It will sometimes get jerky and not run smoothly
through all of the text. Is there anything I can do to stop this? I have
tried shortening the text, but with no luck.
Is this a common problem or is there possibly a problem with my system? I
run a 900MHZ AMD Duron w/768MB RAM, and a 32MB NVidia graphics card. Tag: Clips not in right order Tag: 59481
Vista's DVD maker, Re-Rendering with MPEG2
I don't know why if I convert my video to MPEG2, Vista's DVD maker
insists on Re-Rendering it again anyway. I didn't have that problem
with my old PC (Using Sonic/Roxio, which BTW does not work with
Vista).
Also Vista takes twice as long to re-render it as my other software
does.
I really don't like to have to buy all new software.
Note: I tried installing Sonic but it removed my DVD drive!! (I had
to do a Vista rollback)
Vista's DVD cannot use mpeg2 using a separate audio file. (You get no
sound)
I have to render them into a single MPEG

MM2 is Grouping my photos
I made a movie in Photo Story 3 and saved it to my computer (.wmv). Just
photos, transitions, and music. I tried to open it in Movie Maker to see if
I could tweak one of the songs to fit the ending of the photos (which I had a
hard time doing in Photo Story) and it opened the movie in "groups" of
photos. Meaning, photos 1-8 were all under one clip, photos 9-30 were under
another clip, etc. It opened 6 clips, all with a different number of photos
included in them. I can't edit movies made in Photo Story 3 in Movie Maker?
What am I doing wrong?
Thank you for your time.

Codec Problem, PLEASE HELP!!
Okay, so I cleaned out my computer about a week ago, then I go to import a
video file in Windows Movie Maker and it says:
[File name] cannot be imported because the codec required to play the file
is not installed on your computer. If you have already tried to download and
install the codec, close and restart Windows Movie Maker, and then try to
import the file again.
It's a .wmv file and I don't understand why i can't fix it. I'm afraid that
I accidently deleted the codec when I cleaned my computer out, is there any
way I can get the codec back?

Screen output as video capture device?
Sorry, this is probably a bit silly, but I'm new to this MM-technology.
Is it not possible to record events in a window as a video-clip? - I have a
TV tuner-card, could I use that as intermediary capture device and have
MovieMaker record it from there? Reading the documentation isn't really
enlightening about this specific subject - I understand that I need a
properly configured Capture Device, but I'd assumed that to include the
screen.
If anyone could name an alternative, I'd be mighty pleased too!

TmpGEnc AVI Files Seem WAY Too Large
I wish to import some MPEG-2 files into Windows Moviemaker. Because
the problems with Moviemaker and MPEG-2 are well-documented, I decided
to use TmpGEnc to convert to uncompressed AVI as an intermediate
format acceptable to Moviemaker.
The source files are from a JVC Everio camcorder. This device writes
MPEG-2 files and tags them with a .MOD extension, which TmpGEnc does
not accept, but I found that all I had to do was change the extension
to .MPG and that problem disappears.
My question is the file size - the output AVI files are, on average,
about 1.5 Gigabytes per minute. Does this seem reasonable, and in
line with what an uncompressed AVI file should be? I know that mini-
DV files, which are not heavily compressed, are about 12 or 13 GB per
hour, or about 200 MB per minute. If uncompressed AVI is really
supposed to be 1.5 GB per minute, this would imply that mini-DV is
already compressed about 7:1, which I find hard to believe.

WMM Sound probs & movie sticking

Video sticking
I have searched this forum but can't find a similar issue.
I saved my video from my Sony SRI to the hard drive of my PC as mpeg 2 files

on my PC the final movie sticks every so often ruining the show. The audi
seems fine but every few seconds the video sticks makes the movie suck.
Can anyone help?
I plan to check the following things:
Codecs - I will experiment switching some off and on to see if that makes a
difference
File format - I will try saving the file as a different format rather than
mpeg to avi Tag: Clips not in right order Tag: 59368

title overlay & syncing to video timeline
I'm run into this little annoying tidbit.
Titles are placed on the timeline in the "titles overlay" bar.
However, they are synced to the overall timeline,
and not to their relative place within a video clip,
if placed "over" a video clip.
Then - if I trim a video - all the video shifts -
BUT the overlay titles do not.
I then have to manually re-adjust ALL the overlays
as they are pasted relative to the timeline,
not the clips they are overlaying.
I wish that MM would sync the "overlay titles"
to the video clip, and keep them in place relative
to the start of that specific video clip.... Tag: Clips not in right order Tag: 59335
Slightly OT -- Converting WMM files to Flash
Does anyone have any experience in converting Windows Movie Maker 2 output
in WMV format to Flash files? There are several programs on the market that
would appear to do this; their pricing is all over the board, so it is not
like comparing apples to apples.
I work for a newspaper that has a web site. I'm thinking of using WMM to
edit video then saving that as a WMV file. Finally, running it through one
of the Flash conversion programs for the finished file. It may also have
some possibilities in creating some simple, rich media advertising files.
If you have any experience, please post here or simply email your comments
directly to me.
Thank you very much.

How / Why is a MEDIATAB1.DAT File created? Is it normal naming co
I have aalways been of the impression that when a *.DAT file is created by
Moviemaker that it appears as MEDIATAB.DAT or MEDIATAB0.DAT, and that file
gets replaced / added to as time progresses.
The other day we found a MEDIATAB1.DAT file on the computer that appeared to
arrive admist strange circumstances. The usual default file on my PC is for
MEDIA0TAB.DAT. Do you have any idea what would have caused this change?
Could it be related to a virus, malicious attack or someone just goofing
around on my PC? The PC is connected to a network. The OS of the PC is
Windows XP Professional, v5.1.2600, SP2. Movie Maker is v2.1.4026.0

Perhaps you have them 'sorted' in the wrong order. I don't
know how the files are named, but you can sort them by a lot
of different criteria... time, date, file name, etc etc
