    - LAME ACM MP3 codec stopping Movie Maker I have spent eons creating a video around a specific track. When I come to publish it to the PC, Movie Maker just hangs and when I switch to desktop view the programme falls over saying 'LAME ACM MP3 codec' has caused the prog to stop working. Do I need to uninstall LAME ACM MP3 codec or install it? How can I uninstall individual codecs? I needs to publish the video and track together double-quick. I wish I had stuck with XP - never a single problem. -- No naked jacuzzi-ness Tag: Importing video into MM Tag: 62036

    - Movie Maker 1) . How do I find out what version of Movie Maker I have on my computer? 2). I have made movies in the past with Movie Maker, and have burned them to a CD/DVD format. Suddenly, the last time I did this, my movie cut out half-way through, but the sound/music continued. The last video clip shown was also inverted up-side-down!

    - Movie Maker 5.1 video clip problem I am trying to drop a short video clip on top of an existing clip which is already on my storyboard. I want the video only, I need the original audio track to stay there unchanged. I can't figure out how to insert the video only.

    - Importing from Sony HVR-A1U I have Movie Maker 2.1 installed. I just purchased a Sony HVR-A1U/A1N and set it into stardard DV mode and made a small test tape. the Sony supplied cable into the HDV/DV socket and the other end into a USB port and powered up the camera putting it into playback mode. Then I started Movie Maker and attempted "capture video" but was told that MM could find no capture device. The Sony literature is a bit sketchy but perhaps it is saying that the USB cable is only for still pictures. It might be saying that an optional iLink cable is necessary to import video. If this is the case, would Movie Maker find the camera if I had an iLink cable? Tag: Importing video into MM Tag: 62011

    - Best codec to use for reliability Im just wondering what the best format to encode into is. I plan on doing low compression formats or maybe raw data, for the actual recording sessions, but for editing, I want to cut it down to a high compression format. I've tried DivX, but for some reason, Movie Maker seems to have a LOT of problems with that. Is there a way to either get DivX to co-operate, or is there a similarly size-reduced codec that could allow me to make a pretty decent length movie, that could say, fit Youtube's 10minute 100MB rule. Thanks. Tag: Importing video into MM Tag: 62008

    - Importing Videos I am new to using Moviemaker and I taped using a DVD camcorder. I formatted the disc to VR which seems to be the problem. I found software that took the .vro that I uploaded from the camera and turned it into a .mpg. I saved it to my flash drive. I am at work, trying to edit the material from my flash drive, but I cannot import the file. I can view the video with Windows Media Player. When I try to import the video, the message says, "E:\PepRally.mpg could not be imported. An interface has too many methods to fire events from" Also, I am running on XP Professional (moviemaker version 5.1) and at home I have Vista (moviemaker 6.0), which does allow me to import the video. I need to work on it from here at work. Can anyone help? Thank you in advance! Tag: Importing video into MM Tag: 62004

    - Dragging I'm wondering, first of all, if I'm in the wrong discussion group, as this one is listed under Windows XP and I'm using Vista and MM 6.0. I'll just ask my question anyways, if someone can hopefully answer. A technique that I used on my old (now broken) XP laptop when movie editing was to drag a video clip I wanted into the Audio track so I could use its sound on top of my existing shot. However, my new Vista machine has MM 6.0 freezing up every single time I do this. Does anybody else have this problem and, if so, is there a solution or patch I'm unaware of? Or is a way to circumvate this problem? System specs: Windows Vista Home Premium HP Intel Duo-Core processor @ 1.86 GHz 1 GB RAM That should be enough to handle MM, don't you think?

    - Seeking advice to import music file for WMM Hi: I just purchased a song that I'd like put put into a WMM file I'm creating. I paid for the download on Zune and it says it won't allow me to download it to WMM as it's right management protected. I also had the same song purchased through iTunes and that won't upload either. I thought it was a codec issue so downloaded various codec but that didn't fix the issue -- I noticed that there is a lock icon on the MP4 icon so I think it's rights protected. My only purpose for purchasing the songs was to put it into the WMM file. Is my only option to purchase the music CD at the store? I am concerned that I will right into the rights management issue again. Usually when I have created WMM files, I've burned the music CD to my PC and uploaded the song to WMM. These have typically been older CDs where there may be fewer restrictions on content protection. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Annette Tag: Importing video into MM Tag: 61999

    - Sony Hi8 Handycam movies won't download I have an older Sony Hi8 camcorder that only has composite RCA and S video outputs. My older Sony Vio computer has composite RCA and S video inputs. I can view my movies through the computer as a T.V. input so I know that the computer can detect and read the camcorder signals. For some reason, movie maker does not recognize that my camcorder is plugged into the computer and I just get the message, no capture device detected. I have tried everything I know. I have Windows XT home version with all patches. My camcorder is CCD-TRV75 NTSC. Please help and thanks. -- kpace Tag: Importing video into MM Tag: 61990

    - Blurry pictures and texts on the storyboard and avi file I imported my pictures to the collection pane. When I look at them using the viewer, they look sharp and no blurriness. However, when I drag the pictures to storyboard and play the video, they are blurry. I also created dv-avi file, and the quality of pictures are as bad as the ones that I saw on storyboard. Could someone explain how I can fix this problem? The size of pictures are 720x540 and 640x480. I saved the pictures with BMP. Thank you, -- Amy Tag: Importing video into MM Tag: 61981

    - capturing from a panasonic nv-gs120 Hi, I am using windows xp sp2 version, on a compaq laptop and am unable to capture video from my panasonic nv-gs120. The computer recognises the camera, i.e it pings when it is plugged in, and the version of MMV is 2.1.4026.0 When i start MMV and hit capture it comes with with the usual wizard box and shows the panasonic as the dv camera, however after i continue on through the wizard, choose the file name for the download and go on, it comes up with the following message "the video device cannot be used at this time because there has been an error when starting the device" I am using a dv cable direct from the camera to the laptop. What is driving me crazy is that when i use another program, i.e muvee autoproducer 4.5 it has absolutley no problem detecting and downloading the video from this camera. I also have a desktop, a dell running xp professional, and MMV on that computer has no problems at all downloading from the panasonic. So whilst i can get by, its frustrating the hell out of as to why MMV will not download the files from the camera onto the laptop. any help would be appreciated regards -- freddy Tag: Importing video into MM Tag: 61964

    - Still Image Hi. I am trying to create a movie that can be played on TV screen (DVD format). I am currently working on creating still images. Do I have to consider tv screen safety area (about 10 percent from the edge of pictures) when I create still images? I am referring to this site: http://stream.uen.org/medsol/dvd/pages/dvdvid_work_graphics.html#3 Also, what is the best size to fill the screen? I do not want to have any distortion in my still images. Can I create them with the size 720X540 or the images have to be shrink into 720x480???

    - photostory 3 quality using movie maker? I have made many photostory3 projects using high quality images. I save them at the highest quality setting to the WMV format. As i'm sure you are all aware, this does not allow me to play these files on macs, as the codec is not available. I was told and read many websites about important my photostory3 project into moviemaker and then resaving it. I have done this 3 times, each selecting different formats (DV-AVI, high quality WMV, VBR WMV). Some of these have taken 12 hours to save (the DV-AVI was 8gigs). But none had the same quality as the photostory saved WMV. In fact, I was very dissapointed with the poor quality of the MM2 saved file. So is there a way , using MM2 or any other software you could recommend, to convert a WMV made with photostory, to a same quality format that could be played on a mac? thanks so much Mike Tag: Importing video into MM Tag: 61944
