OT WIN98se convert MPG to streaming? format
I have a digital movie camera that came with software that converts the
movies to MPG format. When I post the MPG on the web, it apparently has to
completely download before playing.
Is there another format that automatically streams? Would it make smaller
files too, or would that not be required since it starts after buffering
while continuing to dl in the background?
I'm on win98se for another month or two.
TIA

need script to take pictures and email them automatically
Hello all:
I need command line commands or a script to have
MovieMaker automatically take a picture or short movie
once every hour and then email them one a day.
Movie Maker has the ability to do all that using the
menus and mouse clicks but I want to set it up once and
let it happen automatically.
The only command line command I have been able to find is
moviemk.exe /record.
Any help is appreciated. Tag: Importing music Tag: 5486

Can't capture video
Hi,

Newbie - fade to black effect in MM2
I recently got a new PC and MM2 (4 days ago actually) and have had a go at
creating a couple of short movies. I have to say that so far I'm impressed
with the ease of use of the program.
Does anybody know if it's possible to adjust the period of the fade from/to
black effects? I suppose I could just fade in or out from/to a pure black
still and adjust the length of the fade transition, but it would be simpler
if I could adjust the properties of the effect itself.
In a similar vein, is it possible to alter the timing of the fade effect on
the audio track?

Problems downloading video to ext.HD
I have no problems saving dv-avi. to the internal 30 Gig HD. but I
have no space to work. I purchased a Buslink 80G.7200rpm 1394 and
USB-2 to save and edit bulk video from. I want to make a one step
process. Both drives are ntfs, and DMA on. When I attempt to save
video to the EXT Buslink it is dropping about 1/3 of the content.
I tried to download MM 2 directly on the Ext. Buslink but it will only
link to it from its internal HD location. I cannot find a way to
remove MM 2 or MY VIDEOS from the internal drive and then load it on
the External Buslink as suggested in the Papa John information.
The frame dropping is the same with AVI or WMV. The notebook is P-4
1.7 512 30Ga and a PCMCIA Belkin 3 port firewire card. The setup is
Sony DV-22 firewire to Belkin card then the Buslink provided firewire
cable to the Buslink.
Note. I am able to save from DV to internal HD and then copy to Ext HD
without problem. HELP!! I have spend days on this and am hoping to
achieve the optimum setup of bypassing the C drive CPU!!
For clarity I have pasted the info on external HD below from PapaJohns
site.
Thanks, Clay T.
9/11/03 - I have added an external hard drive to my laptop (running
Windows XP Home Edition) I have enough disk space to edit video. I am
trying to store my video projects there to avoid overloading my C
drive. I save them under the E drive, but when I go back to work on
them and retrieve them they are back under "my videos" on the C drive.
I have tried moving "my videos" to E drive and have even deleted it
and all its contents on C, but it keeps coming back. How can I store
my projects on the new drive and can Movie Maker be moved to the new
drive also? > There are few things to do. Also you can improve the
performance. First, if your additional hard drive is faster, you
should use this hard drive as a source. How you can do it. When you
select record the movie button, you can press the top choice button
and select the other hard drive. You should open a new file in that
drive, and name it so you can find it easly. If the external hard
drive is USB 2.0 or fire wire connection, transfer rate is about
410-480 mbps. You should install the MM2 on that hard drive. How you
can do it - first uninstall from slow C hard drive, than install
again. This time don't accept the default choice of the program, hit
the browse button and search for external drive and install on it.
This will relieve the first C drive from additional work, things will
be faster and smoother. But evertime you use the MM2 your external
hard drive should be connected. Dummies book series has a book on MM1
and the basics are the same.

Codecs for MM2
Hey everyone-
I haven't had much luck gettin my other questions
answered, maybe this will have some luck. I noticed that
when I import MPEG's that I have captured, I get a lot of
stuttering in the flow (even after creating a movie file).
Howeve if I first convert the MPEG's to .wma files, then
everything seems to be smooth. I suspect that the MM2
isn't recognizing the codec's used by my Instant DVD 2.0
USB capture device. Is ther any way to ensure that the
codecs used by MM2 are the same as those used by MM2? I
have updated all drivers, etc. and even downloaded extra
codecs for Windows Media Player- but this hasn't helped.
Any suggestions? Thanks everyone!

MyDVD
I already sent this a few days ago and received no
response. Is something wrong??? Last time I had a
question, I received a reply right away. Thanks.
I captured and edited a video from my digital camcorder
into Windows Movie Maker. In Movie Maker, I created
several clips with transition points in between. I added
title pages in between each clip (actually as clips I
guiess) with transitions between each clip.
Then I went into MyDVD and created a menu for each clip
(so each menu included one clip with title and
transition). On some sections, the video does not flow
from one menu (clip) to the next. It stops and I have to
press menu on by DVD player and move to the next menu.
And then on some when it gets to the end of the
clip/menu, it goes on to the next.
So, how do I make it flow from menu to menu AND how can I
make each clip act more like a chapter point so if I
press my forward arrow on my DVD player, it will go to
the next clip automatically. Right now if I press my
arrows, nothing happens.

mix-up movies
I'm trying to use the Movie Maker with a lap-top. Not
easy! I have to make short films and I had hoped I could

and so one.
Is there anyway when I record my short films to put them
in order when recording?
Also how can I get more Virtual Memory. When I try to

up the memory. When the computer does this, is it
actually trying to find more memory or is it just a
bubble sign? Worthless?

Problem in Using PC as PVR--start timer??
I recently decided that rather than keep accumulating more VHS tapes, that
now when I wanted to record something from TV, I would do it to my computer.
From there I can keep programs stored on a large external hard drive, can
burn the programs to VCD. (I don't currently have a DVD-burner, may add that
in the future), and can also compress them to a format to watch on my Pocket
PC.
I purchased a USB analog video capture card (my computer is a notebook,
running Windows XP), and a large (180 GB) external firewire hard drive. I
have various software that can be used to capture video, including some that
came with various devices, including the video capture device, some
shareware and freeware, and Windows Moviemaker.
So---if I'm home when the program starts that I want to record, I can do
that. Most of these programs have timers that will automatically stop
recording after a specified period of time, two hours or whatever. So, I can
set the timer for how long the program is, start recording when the program
starts, and it will stop recording automatically.
The feature I haven't seen is--a timer to start the recording at a
particular clock time. Last night I wanted to record a television program
that began at 9 PM. I wasn't going to be home at that time, however. So, I
wanted to set a timer that would begin the video capture automatically at 9
PM. I opened every single program I had that could capture video, including
Windows Moviemaker, MovieStar, Movie Shop, Cyberlink Power Director Pro, DVD
Complete, Arcsoft VideoImpression, Virtualdub, and others. In all of them I
searched for a way to set a timer to start capturing at a particular time. I
searched the menus, the capture dialog boxes, and the help files as well. I
couldn't find that capability in any of them.
That surprised me, as it seems a pretty basic feature in a program that
captures video, that a person might want to capture a television program
when one is not at home, as one does with a VCR, that there would be a timer
to specify at which clock time to begin recording. Very surprised not to
find that feature in any program.
Did I miss something? Is there a way to do that with those programs (or some
of them)? Are there any other video capture programs that do have such a
start timer capability?
(In case anyone is interested, I really wanted to record that program, so I
found an empty VHS tape, and recorded it the old way, with the VCR. If I
want to I could now capture the VHS tape to digital format. However, for
that desired result, it would be much simpler, quicker, and probably create
better quality results, to capture directly from the program to the digital
format.)
If anyone could help with a suggestion for how to do this, I would
appreciate it. Thank you. Tag: Importing music Tag: 5353
