    - Capturing vid from Dv camera to pc? Hi, I have just captured some vid from my jvc dv camera to my pc and then burnt it onto a dvd. The quality is not as good (grainy) as when i connected the camera direct to my TV. Should there be any loss in quality? I thought that digital through firewire to pc was lossless. I captured with mm2 using dv-avi setting. Thank you in advance si Tag: Introducing Windows DVD Maker Tag: 46250

    - No audio at capture I have a Sony TRV-33E miniDV, when using Sony packaged software for capturing on USB, audio works OK. When using WMM or Roxio for capture, video is OK but no audio. WMM and Roxio play back video and audio from files captured with Sony software OK. Could capture everything with Sony and then use other programs but it's nice for things to work properly with each program. It's as if Sony driver has taken over USB audio in. Have not tried Firewire/iLink as computer doesn't have card. Any suggestions for video editing novice. -- Nick Mitch Tag: Introducing Windows DVD Maker Tag: 46249

    - Picture quality terrible - Is it my hardware? Hi, I use a Panasonic DV NV DS65. When I record and playback on the camera or linked up to the TV the picture quality is perfect but when I use Windows Movie Maker to capture the video the quality of the picture is very jerky and pixalated. I use a Compaq Laptop with AMD Athlon 2400 chip with 500+ mb RAM. A salesboy at Camera House said I need a Firewire card. I don't think so. A salesman at Dick Smith Electronics said I need a better program than Movie Maker. I'm not confident these gys know what they're talking about. Personally, I think its because my laptop doesn't have a dedicated graphics card. I've tried capturing it on different screen sizes etc but it doesn't get much better. Anyone know the answer?

    - Can save movie only in certain format problem. I am simply making a movie consisting of music (.wmv format) and words (which i use the "titles and credits" provided by WMM). But i cant save the movie in some formats i prefer. I can only save the movie in avi (pal) format which is over 500MB! and some pocket pc format which is too small! I want to save in format like "high quality video" or "video for LAN" but will got error message. Furhermore, this is the error message i got when saving the file, which i think is absolutely nonsense as everything is already in place.

Verify that the original source files that were used in the movie are still available. that the saving location is still available. and that there is enough disk space available and then try again Tag: Introducing Windows DVD Maker Tag: 46199

    - Movie duration in WMM I have recently started using WMM to transfer my DV video onto DVD. After creating the projects and editing the movies, WMM will only allow me to burn 60minutes of video to a standard 4.7GB DVD. This means that for some videos I am having to cut them short or burn them onto 2 DVD's. Is there any way I can burn a longer movie using WMM as the editing tool? -- Many Thanks Trevor Tag: Introducing Windows DVD Maker Tag: 46197

    - WMM not responding I just discovered WMM two days ago, and I've been working with it and found it to be just great. However, today it's been a pain in the neck (and in some other places, too): When importing a video it won't automatically create clips, so I have to make them myself. I can live with that, though. What is really a problem is that it keeps on getting stuck and not responding. So I have to shut it down using the classical ctrl+alt+del. Yesterday and the day before it worked just fine. Does it have anything to do with the fact that it was automatically actualized by Windows? That's the only difference between how it is today and how it was before I can think of.

    - Music not jumping with timeline slider Im making a movie with both audio and vidoe clips but whenever i move the slider along the timeline, while it is paused, it replays the whole audio clip when I press play to continue it. So I can click ahead on the timeline to move ahead,say, 5 10 seconds, and the video will move on but the music wont. So every time I want to check the syncronization of the video and music I have to listen to the whole piece. This is ok at the moment but eventually Im going to have to listen to about 5 mins of music to get to the point I want. Any ideas or solutions would be greatly appreciated.

    - Scatchy Audio Hi, I'm using a Canon S40 digital camera to capture video. Movie Maker recognizes the AVI files fine and can play them in preview mode without a problem but playing them from the project storyboard results in distorted / scratchy sound; rendering the movie has the same issue. I believe I read something a while back somewhere that suggested Movie Maker doesn't have the proper CODEC. is this the case? I don't think it's a sound card issue (I'm on a Dell laptop with a Sigma Tel card). Is there a fix for this problem? Cheers, Vincent Tag: Introducing Windows DVD Maker Tag: 46099

    - IEEE Link Port Cable Ok So I was having trouble with blurry video and was told to order an Ilink 1394 4 pin to 4 pin port cable. so I ordered that and waited patiently for it to arrive. Once it arrived I hooked the thing in to my camera and proceded to look for a ilink port in my computer to plug the cable into. that is where I have run in to a problem. My computer doesnt have a port for a 4 pin Ilink cable. *exasperated*. I really want to get my movies started but now I don't know what to do. do they even make a 4 pin to 6 pink Ilink cable? I am sure they do but now I am stuck with this 4 pin to 4 pin cable. does anyone else have any bright ideas as to what else i can do? -- Thank you Soo Much Tag: Introducing Windows DVD Maker Tag: 46090

    - What do I do next? First I take video with my samsung mini dv camcorder. Then I capture video into collections in windows movie maker. It is set to create clips. I then have have thumbnails of the clips in the collection window. After that, I drag a clip and drop it on the timeline for editiing. Once the clip is edited, I click FILE<SAVE PROJECT AS. Then I name it and save it to a "My videos" subdir I have named "clips". It gets automatically saved as a mswmm file. I then have all the clips of the tape edited and saved in this manner. It is at this point I am having problems. I don't know how to get them onto the timeline for combining and inserting transitions. If I try to drag them from "clips" onto the timeline or storyboard I can only do one at a time, meaning, if I try to drag a second one, the first one disapears and only the second one is shown starting at zero seconds. How do I get more than one clip onto the timeline so I can combine them, insert transitions and make a movie from all my clips? I MUST be doing something wrong somewhere. Please help. Mahalo.
