    - Poor audio quality In MM2 I captured video from camcorder with Firewire to an .avi file. When I play the original file in WMP and the clips in WMM the sound is fine. But after dragging the clips to the timeline the sound is terrible...a metallic high-end type sound. This carries through all they way to the completed output .avi file. Any fix for this? I looked on Papajohn's site and someone had reported this, but no solution was posted. TIA.

    - Can't capture video with Sony CCD-TRV608 USB I have a Sony Analog Camcorder CCD-TRV608. With MM 1, I was able to easily capture video and audio. However, with MM 2, I can't. The option for Video is grayed out. I can use the Sony supplied PIXELA software to capture, so it doesn't appear to be a hardware problem. Any ideas? Tag: Import audio files problem Tag: 4432

    - Can't Export to DV Camcorder PapaJohn or others-, I can capture and edit video from my JVC DVL505U camcorder just fine in the .AVI format. When I ask MM2 to Export the finished product back to my camcorder, I get a can't find a DV source error after the movie renders (~40 minutes for a 2 minute clip as an experiment). I can hear my camcorder "kick in" but I still get the error and the process is stalled. I get the suggestion of unplugging the camcorder and go back to Movie Wizard but everything just repeats. I have plenty of space available, Toshiba 1805- S207 1.1MHz, Celeron laptop running XP (service pack 1A), 384M of RAM. Latest patches of MM2 installed. Many hours looking for other patches/driver updates...help! I'm stumped.... Thanks in advance! Tag: Import audio files problem Tag: 4430

    - Finally got Moviemaker 2 working - thanks Papajohn! Here's what I made... Thanks to Papajohn's excellent site at: http://pws.chartermi.net/~papajohn/MM2.html I have finally got Moviemaker 2 working. The problems were: Not saving: Increase virtual memory Crashing on titles: Unregister subtitds Crashing on open: Unregister divxaf Movie too complex (like, over 2 minutes!) - split it in two then rejoin. All of which was on PJ's site. Although I still think MM2 could be slightly more robust and helpful in it's error reporting! So finally, I can make movies, and if no-one minds, I'm gonna show them off! Probably the wrong forum, but I'd appreciate some honest criticism on style and content: The one that started it all off, http://www.digitaltoast.co.uk/travels/MM/california_websize.wmv 2Mb I opened MM2 and gave myself 15 minutes to see what I could do with some content from a still camera that does 20 second silent clips: http://www.digitaltoast.co.uk/mad/vid/oblivion.wmv - 2.6mb, my second ever vid, and quite a good effort, I think! Something I made for my girlfriend - we're both in this one (not THAT kind of home movie though!) Three different and distinct styles, all in under 2 minutes. http://www.digitaltoast.co.uk/mad/vid/louise.wmv 5.6Mb. Than I went and bought a MiniDV camcorder for £317 and made this nightmare: long and dull - not my best! - 22Mb http://www.digitaltoast.co.uk/mad/vid/France2k3_22mb.wmv It lacks energy, but it was more an experiment into "could I make a video flow using one camera but different angles while using the same soundtrack from one shot". It sort of works, but it's still sucky! Then I decided to cycle to London: http://www.digitaltoast.co.uk/mad/vid/bicycle.wmv - 10Mb (not so good unless you like Queen, as in the music AND the monarch!) ...to see the Flugtag, where madmen make flying machines and hurl themselves off the end of a pier... http://www.digitaltoast.co.uk/mad/vid/flugtag.wmv - only 2.5Mb. And ANOTHER video, this one of the Eden Project and Goonhilly Earth Satellite Station in the UK: http://www.digitaltoast.co.uk/mad/vid/eden_goonhilly.wmv - 11.2Mb Please note that in the "moving head" demo, the head is mine but the voice is not..you'll see what I mean! But here's my best yet: http://www.digitaltoast.co.uk/travels/Aus/Vid/aus2k.wmv 9.0Mb, my complete trip round Aus in 2 minutes! Again, this last one was filmed on a simple "20 second clips" camera, and again there are 3 distinct sections. So, I've never picked up a book on movie making, 'cos I think either you got it or you aint. Question is: Do I carry on, or give up now??? Ruthless but constructive criticism welcomed! Notes: Watching the video: 1: You need a fast PC, at least 500Mhz processor, otherwise it will run a bit jerkily. 2: You need sound 3: You need Windows Media Player 9 (or something that can play the wm9 codec) 4: Broadband would help - if you are on a dial-up (or in any case), try Getright from http://www.getright.com/ - there's no spyware or anything in it. Just install it, and then right-click the movie links and choose "save as" (or "save target as") and save it to your hard drive before watching it. -- -- www.digitaltoast.co.uk/ - photos and travelogues from around the world. www.digitaltoast.co.uk/utils/ - guide to free software and security tips. 650Mb website with all the trimmings: $7.77: http://tinyurl.com/k6z3 Tag: Import audio files problem Tag: 4328

    - PapaJohn: please help! Hi, I'm having all kinds of trouble with MovieMaker2. It had been working fine for me for the last few months. The last couple weeks it has been hanging and rebooting my system during movie saves and sometimes during editing. I can't think of anything that has changed on my system that could have caused this other than running Windows update to get the latest security patches. I have tried all the solutions on the papajohn.org site but it didn't seem to solve my problem. I decided to start over and reformatted my hard drive. I then installed Windows XP Home. I downloaded Movie Maker 2 after installing my audio driver and it crashed saving the project. I created several new projects to make sure it wasn't a bad imported video but all the projects had problems. It usually just hangs the computer (mouse can't move, ctrl-alt-del doesn't work, scroll bar not updating). I created projects with no transitions, no effects and no audio. These had the same problems. I removed all the .ax files except for WMVDS32.AX and KSPROXY.AX (I did delete the KSPROXY one but it reappeared). So my machine had no apps on it other than MovieMaker and it still has problems. I just did a Windows Update and got totally up-to-date to see if one of the patches may have fixed this but still having problems. Any ideas on what the problem might be? Does this sound more like a memory or drive problem? I'm thinking of replacing those and seeing if it helps. If not, do you have any other ideas?

    - ...problems with Movie Maker / "Click to DVD" relationship HELP! Just bought a Sony Vaio equipped with Movie Maker. I made this really neat video. Problem is, Movie Maker seems to have no direct way of burning a DVD. After following the instructions in one of the Movie Maker articles on this web site, I saved the movie as a DV-AVI file to my computer's hard drive.... then opened it into the Sony DVD burning software provided on the computer ("Click to DVD"). Everything seemed to be going swimmingly until I realized the video had NO SOUND! I went ahead and burned a DVD to make sure. Sure enough, the "Click to DVD" title page on my DVD popped up and played the standard click to dvd music, just like on my computer, but when I started to play my video, there was no audio track with it. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? Any and all help would be greatly appreciated! Sincerely, Jim Spaulding Tag: Import audio files problem Tag: 4306

    - Capture quality problem with MM 2.0.3312.0 Hi, I have a video capture quality problem. Here is my configuration: MM release 2.0.3312.0. DirectX 9 Intel P4 2.4ghz pc / XP Home with all the updates. Old Sony analog camcorder "handycam". Dazzle - DVC 80 USB video - external videl in/out device. During video capture (recording), the MM video preview screen frequently freezes for several seconds then resumes synchronized video playback input from the camcorder. The video capture preview screen also occasionally shows a "rolling" screen or shows a lot of distortion and poor quality. So, what I end up with is a full video capture from the camcorder with lots of "frozen" segments - and some segments with lots of distortion and poor quality. 30-40% of the video capture is good. Funny thing, capture of audio from the camcorder works fine - even during the "frozen" video capture segments. Any ideas for correcting this problem? Thanks for any help.
