    - Whenever I save, it looks bad. I made a video for a n English project and it looks really great. As soon as I saved it then watched it again it looks REALLY terrible. The quality is awful. Now, I can't even try saving it again because all the video files I used have big X's through them. What happened? Can I fix it? Tag: Codec Pack Tag: 51081

    - First Time, Whatcha Think? I've been wanting to use MM2 for more than editing out commercials, but I don't have any videos to edit and create with. So I decided to come up with something goofy for my nephew and give me some video to edit. Here's the link, it's only about 90 seconds: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-207172509616826157 Keep in mind that I used a Samsung camera that is for taking stills, but also does video. And in the LCD display on the cam, he didn't look that far away in the last couple shots. Thanks in advance for any advice, tips or comments y'all might give. Raoul Tag: Codec Pack Tag: 51078

    - Does Windows Media Player play DVDs or .avi?? I was wondering what brand media Player can my family use to see on their PC, movies I will send to them ?? I assume they will use a DVD player for the TV. I am using Windows Movie Maker to collect the clips then using Nero to convert to DVD keeping the .avi format. I am unable to view my own DVD on Windows Movie Maker. To view them I can only use Nero or ATI file Player, the latter with grinding gear background noises. Is this how it is?? Thank you.

    - Since auto update installed CD Max, files won't save ... :>( MM 2.0.3312.0 Windows XP Pro 2002, SP2 Pentium 4 / 3-GHz 512 MB RAM 40-GB available HDD I've used MM for some time, on files up to 100 MB, without problems, until Windows auto update installed the CD Max patch. Since then, any file over 5 MB goes into an infinite wait when saving to computer. The panel displays a hard drive file definition to save into, but a top line message says, e.g., ... preparing to save file to CD ROM - 9743286 estimated mins to save. I uninstalled the CD MAX application in Control Panel / Add-Remove ..., which completed normally per messages. After a reboot, the CD-Max logo still appeared in the Save Movie panel, and the preceding CD-RoM save message still appears in MM. Any assistance appreciated. I'm in the process of converting family movies for our children, and want to finish before the family reunion in August. If MM can't be fixed in a timely manner, what other commercial software package would do the trick, to enable me to finish. I'm AV-challenged, so simple apps are good ... :>) Thanks ...

    - Capturing Camera tapes I am capturing tapes from my Sony Digital 8 camcorder on to my PC, but notice that I have two choices. Top capture them as .avi or wmv files. I intend to edit this footage and save as avi and burn on to DVD's with Nero. Of course the .avi files take up a lot of hard drive space, and I was wondering if just capturing wmv files for the editing would afford the same quality. Regards Noelle Tag: Codec Pack Tag: 51045

    - Problem Saving AVI I have read and followed almost all of the recommendations at Papa John's wonderful site. However, I am having some problems saving a movie as an AVI. Since I can save a 45 minute video downloaded from my DV camera, the problem is not memory or unregistered DLLs. The movie I'm trying to save is 14 minutes. All of the source files are present and accounted for. They were all moved into a single folder and then copied to several computers for testing. All computers exhibit the same problem. If I delete everything but a single AVI file and a title, the movie will not save. If I delete the AVI source file, the title will save as an AVI movie. The present movie, as edited, saves has a High Quality NTSC with no problem. The movie plays perfectly in WMM. The only problem is that it will not save as an AVI. Is it possible that there is something unusual about the encoding of the (uncompressed) AVI file? I'm presently using AVS File Converter to convert from AVI to AVI, thinking that something is not up to spec. Before I waste any MORE hours chasing the problem, I thought I would ask here. Assuming that I do not get this problem solved, what is the next best format to AVI? NTSC High Quality WMV? The ultimate destination is a DVD. The movie is my daughter's school project, so there is a hard deadline. Thanks! Tag: Codec Pack Tag: 50981

    - Copying DVD to PC, many files, what's what? The local school did a DVD for my kid's school year. I bought it, and when I got it home... instead of tossing it into a box, I've been moving CD files (and now DVD's) like this onto my PC, and then organizing them digitally. But unlike a single file on a CD, a DVD has lots of files. Questions are... 1) Does every DVD have lots of files and several folders? (This one had two sub-folders). The multi-file thing almost mandates creating a whole folder for 'one' DVD. Is there an easier way to do this, like create ONE file called "School2006.???" and have it launch the DVD (even if it's in some folder somewhere), so 10 years from now I don't have to wade thru files and know just what to click. 2) Since I'm not using a DVD to insert and autostart... and am instead starting this presentation from PC file(s)... how do I know "which" file to click on to start it. Is there some de facto standard to look for? (like when installing software, the de facto standard a lot of times is to double click "setup.exe"). 3) If I get rid of the original DVD, how would I copy this presentation from PC back down to a DVD (to duplicate it for grandparents)? Do I just copy the 2 subfolders and all their files? Will it auto-start like the original. Or do I have to add some type of file to make it autostart? Thanks, George Tag: Codec Pack Tag: 50967

    - MyDVD aspect ratio wrong for captured video I am new to video editing. I have a Sony HC90 camera and am trying to use the software I have at hand to capture video, edit it, and then burn DVD's. I'm able to capture video using MovieMaker, but can't burn DVD's with MovieMaker as far as I can tell. I also have Sonic MyDVD 4.5. I was able to import video produced by MovieMaker and then burn a CD. It seems that MyDVD has some nice features, like the ablity to create "chapters" in a video while it is capturing. However, when I capture in MyDVD, the picture is squished. I can't find a way in MyDVD to change the settings so it knows the video input is in widescreen mode. With widescreen so common nowadays, it seems the MyDVD should be able to support this. I'm not sure if this is the right newsgroup for this type of question. If you can recommend a better newsgroup, please let me know. Tag: Codec Pack Tag: 50940

Can anyone suggest a good codec pack that's stable? I looked on

Is the XP Codec Pack the same as the Windows XP Codec Pack?

I'd recommend against using packs. Just install single codecs as you need
them, much better to troubleshoot any potential problems that then arise.
