    - .mov files How do I change a .mov file into a format that moviemaker 2 would regonize. My Kodak Digital Camera records movies in .mov files but MovieMaker 2 can't use them because it can't regonize them as a compatable video format I tried some freeware converters but it watermarks the movie and wrecks the thing so can you help me.

    - How to adjust project audio volume? New MM2 user. Source audio somewhat low. I can adjust the volume of ONE clip at a time. Is there a way to either select all of the clips and adjust the audio level on all at once, or is there a way to adjust the entire project's audio? It seems counterproductive to have to combine all the clips to be able to adjust the audio level and then split them apart to build the project. I guess I could capture the work as one clip, adjust the audio and save the project, then capture it again to build many clips. Time consuming but possible. Is there an easier way?

My Dell 4100 originaly came with ME installe and I installed XP over it 2 months later (as soon as it was available).

    - A quick question Downloaded WMM2 last night and made a few quick movies with it. What a great program! Can't wait to spend some quality time with it. I was wondering however if it is possible to make a Video CD (VCD) out of the movies that I have made. I usually use Nero burning to do it, but it doesn't recognize WMVs. Is there another program i should look at for this? If i use the "burn to CD" function would that make a VCD? Thanks in Advance Tom Tag: Copied movie won't play on my DVD home player Tag: 10867

    - thanks to ahhnold and priint_maker Thanks for your comment on my problem. Maybe part of my problem is that I made the slideshow in Photo story with lots of zooms and pans, so there actually is lots of movement. Still seems a shame. I donâ??t currently have a DVD burner, but would that solve my problems of poor quality? Could I still create the movie from slideshow in photostory and WMM and then burn it straight to a DVD? Do you burn an avi file to a DVD or would I have to convert it to MPEG first? Iâ??m new at this and need help obviously. I canâ??t stand that I put hours and hours to create this 20 minute movie (which we love), but canâ??t burn it to watch on the DVD player satisfactonily, you know? Thanks for any advice.

    - Sound skips, glitches, bleeps, during transistions after being saved to dv I had a problem with my sound skipping during transistions into a video clip. I noticed that it only did it on the clips that did not have some sort of Video Effect added. I added an 'Ease In' and/or 'Brightness Increase' (or combinations of others) and the problem went away. I don't know why this fixed it, but it did. Tag: Copied movie won't play on my DVD home player Tag: 10853

    - Freeware for converting WMVs I have converted my analog camcorder home movies to 640X480 WMV files. I wish to burn them to a CD so my mother can watch them on her home DVD player. 1) What is the best format to convert them to? AVI or MPEG1 or MPEG2 or what? 2) What is VCD? Is that just MPEG burned to a CD or what? 3) Is there a good freeware program for converting WMVs to one of these other formats? Thanks Tag: Copied movie won't play on my DVD home player Tag: 10849

    - Buggy Microsoft code!!! I looked in here to get some help for (a) problem(s) I'm having with windows Movie Maker, I can't in any way convert this stupid ".MSWMM" file format to anything: Mpeg, Avi, CD, DVD, anything! The WMM save wizard either crashes my system or asks me to wait 35million minutes until my file is done. I've got a brand new computer with a 2.6 gig processor, and a huge hard drive, loaded with video stuff, it should work fine, but it doesn't. I don't have 91 years to wait for a slideshow of baby pictures. But then I see all these requests for help from others with no response from anyone, let alone microsoft. One would figure if they continue to flood the market with these buggy programs, they's have some kind of accessible tech support, especially for us PAYING CUSTOMERS! They should have their expert coders regularly check these newsgroups and forums and offer help to their perplexed and frustrated customers.

    - Please help me I have tried several permutations to get my vcd's and c-dvd's to play on computers other than the computer that created them. I have MM2 and created a fabulous movie which I saved in dv-avi. Then I used Roxio to record them in the various formats. I now have 10 cds, and none of them can be opened on all computers, just a couple on this computer, and a couple on that computer... I then tried to capture the video directly into Roxio and burn from there, but again, there are no reliable results. I thought creating the video in Roxio would make it more compatible with Roxio's encoding process, but so far, it doesn't seem to be any better than creating the movie in MM2 and saving as dv-avi & importing it into Roxio. Am I missing a step in Roxio? So far, the best and most universal disc I have been able to do is to create a VCD (via mm2 to roxio) which requires the users to open their windows media player (or quicktime for mac users), and then, from within the player, manually open one of the 5 files which will appear. Then the video opens. I am using these cd's to promote my business and I am worried that a potential customer will not go to all of the trouble to open these cd's. The only good side to this last cd is that I tried it on 4 computers and the "manual" way worked on all of them. Is there a better way? Should I just include instructions for opening my cd's when I send them? Thank you in advance for your help. Tag: Copied movie won't play on my DVD home player Tag: 10833

    - Crashes when saving to DV-AVI Papajohn and others I have a 15 minute slide show created in MM2 complete with titles, transitions, effects and audio. When I go to save it as a DV-AVI file, after saying it is about 12 percent complete (approximately 10 after starting to save) I get an error message saying that the program must close. I have noticed that the time remaining increases all the while the file is being saved (upwards of 30 minutes) instead of decreasing. I have an HP computer with a Pentium 4 and a very large hard drive. Please advise on how I can get past this and what should be the normal time for my computer to save this size file Thanks Pete Tag: Copied movie won't play on my DVD home player Tag: 10817

    - PapaJohn! I found a fix to some Capture Problems! I have posted before and read postings by others unable to capture video from their DV camcorder through their IEEE 1394 port. Well, I finally fixed my problem and I thought that I would be nice and share with everyone else that had similar problems to mine: My System: Pentium 4 Windows XP Pro Motherboard (built-in) IEEE 1394 DirectX 9.0b My Problem: Windows would recognize my Camcorder (Sony DCR-TRV27) when plugged in via IEEE 1394, but every time I tried to capture, I got the error: "An Unknown Error Has Occurred" (Please check video device to see that it is not being used by another device .... etc.) I WAS able to play, rewind, etc. from the computer (transport controls), but no video capture. My Fix: In desperation, I downloaded the Trial Version of Adobe Premiere. After installation, Premiere was able to capture video fine. I went back and tried Movie Maker 2, and it TOO was able to capture fine at this point. The Reason?: I know that Premiere re-installed DirectX 9.0b when I installed Premiere. My guess is that there was some sort of driver conflict that was worked out with this installation. Anyway, I'm a much happier person now that my firewire connection works with my system. So far, no missed frames, good audio. I hope this helps people who have had similar problems. Scott Tag: Copied movie won't play on my DVD home player Tag: 10816

    - Cannot capture neither create movies anymore Hi everyone. Just suddenly, I cannot capture video anymore from my Panasonic camcorder neither create a movie after having edited it. The hardware link is fine because I did a video test capture with VideStudio and it worked ok. For the first problem I'm getting "Capturing profiles cannot be found" and for the latter, on the Save Movie Wizard, "No LOC needed - Autolayout placeholder string". And when I try to save the movie (to the PC), the screen is overlayed with text from other options... And it goes to an endless loop where I'm getting (randomly) 30611855 more or less minutes to create a 13 minutes movie!!! I've re-installed MM2, re-booted the PC and re-launched MM but with same results as before. Earlier, I received a Windows XP error message that a "mscoree.dll" was missing (which I've managed to download and re-install back).

    - Saving I have a large hard drive (106GB), so I am able to do large projects. I have a problem with saving my movie as a movie file so it can be compatible with Sonic MyDVD. When I save the movie as a movie file (to My Computer), it saves about 3/4 to 85% of the movie and then stops saving. I know this because the CPU usage goes to zero and the minutes remaining begin to increase instead of decrease. I know that it takes a long time to render into a different format, but I have left it for long periods of time and the program makes no more progess saving the movie. I've heard that some computers weren't designed to have such big hard drives, so when a file or project is that big, it is impossible for the computer to handle it or something, like a safety feature. I don't know. Is there anything I can do? Tag: Copied movie won't play on my DVD home player Tag: 10780

    - Preventing WMM from controlling camera I want to use a Sony TRV33E as an analogue (VCR) to digital converter (which you can). In this setup the video stream can be captured over the FireWire from the camera and the video control is via a VCR. While software such as Adobe Premiere is quite happy to capture a free flowing stream without any attempt at controlling the camera, the WMM is trying to start the camcorder's tape, thus shutting off the analogue signal conversion. WMM is actually capable of displaying the converted video from the FireWire, the problem however is how to stop it from interfering with the camcorder's controls - I cannot see anyway of making the camera to ignore such software requests. Any ideas Jacob Tag: Copied movie won't play on my DVD home player Tag: 10779
