    - Confusion in saving movie format I'm sorry but I'm kind of new to this forum and using movie maker. I have downloaded the clips from my digital camera. I'm thinking of burning the movie to DVD. What I did was to first of all save it to the computer. Shall I select DV-AVI as the format ? I did this but movie maker does not allow me giving a message that the file is too big for FAT32, whatever this means. So I selected the format at High Quality and burned it using another DVD authoring tool but quality is not good. Can anyone tell me where I went wrong please!

    - Final Movie Resolution I have starting using MM recently by downloading some footage in the highest setting allowed. However, when I am putting the movie together and veiwing clips in the small viewing window all looks well, but if I enlarge the screen to full size, the video content loses it high resolution to a much lower quality and looks blurred/out of focus. This also transfers through to the final DVD copy? I have viewed the video content on my TV, direct from the camera, and the quality is fine and as it should be. Does anyone have any ideas why it seems to be losing it's quality through the transfer process. I am using a Firewire/1394 cable. Tag: The IEEE 1394 Cable, Saving Movie to DV Camera Tag: 46480

    - Audio Problems I have an analog video camera. I plugged in all the wires properly, but when I go to capture video, there is only video, no sound. In the pull down menu for audio devices, there are two options: Realtek AC97 Audio, and Conexant Falcon Audio Capture. With the Realtek AC97 Audio option, I can select the audio input source, such as Line In, Line In 2, Mono mix, ect. I've tried all these options and none of them produce audio. The video capture device is called Conexant Falcon II NTSC Video Capture, so it would make sense that the audio device would be Conexant Falcon Audio Capture. When I select Conexant Falcon Audio Capture, no options for audio input source are given. But on the screen before the video capture, when I click next the screen freezes and will do nothing. As soon as a click around a few times, it says Not Responding and I have to Ctrl Alt Delete out of the program. I've tried doing this multiple times, and have rest the computer, but it keeps happening. I'm extremley frustrated, what should I do?! Tag: The IEEE 1394 Cable, Saving Movie to DV Camera Tag: 46454

    - trouble editing finished movie I have a movie that I have "finished" and saved. Now I need to make a change on the title page but can't figure out how.

    - Windows Movie Maker I have some videoclips, which i want to put together to one movie. The clips comes in 640 * 480, 8 bit sound, AVI. No problem making a full movie in WMM in any format - but the sound is in all cases thin and metallic. On the original files the sound is fine. Any idea how to fix that problem, please ? Is there another program that can do the job (and as easy to use as WMM) without distorting the sound ? Kim Tag: The IEEE 1394 Cable, Saving Movie to DV Camera Tag: 46449

    - "problem was encountered" error when I select AVC Compliant DV dev Just bought a JVC mini DV camcorder GR-D240EK and a Belkin firewire cable to connect it to my HP PC. The camcorder is detected OK by XP but as soon as I select capture, and click on the AVC Compliant DV Device icon from within WMM, I receive the following error message: "A problem was encountered while trying to connect to one of your capture devices" Have a logitech web-cam and a TV tuner and capture is OK from those. If I go into control panel, rt click on AVC Compliant DV Camcorder, and select properties then "test camera" it passes the diagnostic test OK. My machine also has InterVideo DVD creator pre-loaded onto it - and when I select the same driver with that, I can control the camera and capture video without any problems. Any ideas? TIA. Midge.

    - Unable to edit video after downloading Hi, We are using a Samsung digital camcorder (SC X105). We are having a problem editing the video. 1. Unable to capture from the camera 2. If downloaded to computer through USB, if imported to windows movie maker, video comes up with a green screen and if spliced, will play fine. But, if edited and spliced at the splice point, it will play a green screen with audio. We do not have a "fire cable". We have upgraded our RAM and are using what our IT guy said is "a pretty damn good video card". All of you guys seem very helpful and I hope you guys can help!

    - Made a Music video montage of vid clips of my nephew Any critique is appreciated. I can E-mail it to you or if you could point me to a site that would host it for free. It's my first attempt with this MM2 and would like some feed back. The vid is about 3 mins long and probably is ripe for constructive critisisim. I'd like to hone my skills with MM2, so let me know if you're interested in viewing my vid and offering your comments, don't worry about being blunt - I don't get offended .

    - 1.convert from VHS and 2.how to convert audio I just mastered how to convert my digital camera mov files and burn a DVD. Now can someone tell me a similar way to convert my VHS tapes to a file that I can trasfer to a dvd? I have a toshiba laptop and do not have the outputs (red, white, yellow) for the camcorder. Yes I am a novice. Also, I tried to add audio to one of my video projects and it told me that MM2 could not play an m4a. How do I convert my music files so that they will play.

    - Movie Maker freezes after a few seconds We have been trying to use MM to download video from our Canon ZR200. When we first plug in our camera to the firewire, the computer recognizes the camera and MM starts just fine. We follow the on-screen instructions and when we start to capture the video, the camera rewinds and starts to capture, but freezes after about 5 seconds (the most we have ever got is 19 seconds). After this, the computer no longer recognizes the camera. We have tried to capture using Adobe Premiere with the same results. We have MM version 2.1 and Service Pack 2. System requirements are not the issue either. We have tried absolutely everything we can think of. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as this is becoming increasingly frustrating. Thanks.

    - Noise Slightly off topic, but a video question: I film with a Sony DCR-HC21. I noticed in a movie I made of a birthday party in a park that there's a great deal of background "hiss" in the audio...a constant low roar of sound. This is not a problem in making the movie in MM. It's sound that has been picked up by the camera's microphone. I don't use an external microphone; just the built-in microphone. Any suggestions for minimizing this when taking the pictures? -- Tony Cooper Orlando, FL Tag: The IEEE 1394 Cable, Saving Movie to DV Camera Tag: 46397

    - Best way to save? As a matter of opion (as I'm sure I'll get several opinions). What is the best format to save my finished movies for qualitys sake. I thought it was AV/DVI, but I can't seem to use my Nero to burn the AV/DVI files without having to convert them back to mpeg, which kind makes the whole AV/DVI save kinda moot.

    - Im confused about quality Hello, I am trying to make a movie of my family, i import the video from my DV camcorder w/ a fire wire cable. Everything looks good. And I added a Mp3 to the video for some music. Everything looks and sounds fine. Then when I choose save to my computer under High Quality video large, and I watch the video and sounds really bad. What is the best way to save the file? and should I use WAV. instead of MP3? Also, I have a tv with a 16:9, so should I create the file with that ratio, or would it compromise the quality? Im just so confused as to why my quality is so horrible after I save it. And Im afraid if it looks that back during playback on my computer wont it look even worse stretched to the size of my tv?

    - Problems saving DV-AVI file I am running into some trouble saving a file as a DV-AVI. I imported about 10 minutes of video from my video camera and saved as an AVI. I took one small clip (13 seconds) from about the middle, and Drag to the timeline. I did a save movie and saved to wmv format (best quality for playback on my PC) This took about 3 minutes and generated the desired output. Then I went back to the same project and did a Save As to DV-AVI format. The % complete meter jumped up to 99% and stayed there for about 15-20 minutes, then finally finished (CPU utilization also went to 100% and stayed there -- this seems like a good thing, it means it is working). When I played back the AVI file, it contained the clip I requested (audio and video), PLUS all the clips which came after it in the original file WITHOUT AUDIO. I have successfully created two other DV-AVI projects without this problem. But this was an expiriment to find out what is wrong with my current project. I am having lots of trouble getting all my clips put together into a single video, and did this as a test. I have had to stop WMM and reboot several times over the past day or two, and it seems to me that a temp file or working directory or something as been messed up. I have tried going back to the beginning of the project (delete all avi, wmv, mswmm files and recapture the video again from the source), but this does not help. Every AVI file I create now has basically the same symptoms with the desired video at the beginning, then more video tacked onto the end w/o the audio. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Is it possible to remove / re-install WMM? Would that help? Also, why does the % complete jump to 99, then hang out there for such a long time? Thanks so much.

    - Convert an AVI File to another AVI File If an AVI file doesn't work as a source file in Movie Maker, you often need to convert it to another AVI file that does work.... that's often a confusing point... what codec works? I recently did another wave of tests to check which of the compression codecs made AVI source files that go into the collection, to the timeline, and render OK to a Movie Maker movie... There are 14 compression choices that work on my laptop.... some render much faster than others... some result in much higher file sizes, but they all work. I added a couple charts to the Importing Source Files > Video > AVI page of my website to show you the list, and how they differ in rendering speed and file size... -- PapaJohn Movie Maker 2 and Photo Story 3 website - http://www.papajohn.org MM2 Tips and Tricks: http://www.simplydv.co.uk/simplyBB/viewtopic.php?t=4693 Online Newsletters: http://www.windowsmoviemakers.net/PapaJohn/Index.aspx Tag: The IEEE 1394 Cable, Saving Movie to DV Camera Tag: 46311

Does your camcorder support this function, some don't. Check the manual for
