    - AVI On my XP Home SP2 computer,I saved a bunch of short videos as .avi files after editing them in MM2. Using a Ulead program, I burned a DVD program that worked out well. I can't however view the base .avi videos on my computer using Windows Media Player 10. I thought that WMP was supposed to support .avi files, but I just get a blue box when I try. I haven't the vaguest idea how codecs work or where they're stored, so I'm hopelessly lost.........not unusual for me. Jim Tag: Inverted preview Tag: 50071

    - Trimmed clips changes movie from 30 --> 4 frames per sec I have some mpeg 2 video clips imported from VHS tapes, at 30 fps. I play them in WMM and they play fine. That until I trim off anthing from the beginning of a clip. After that, they only show (and record) at about 4 fps. The action is moving along at the correct pace, but many frames are dropped. If I restore the trimmed section of the clip, all is well again. Thanks for some help! Riley Tag: Inverted preview Tag: 50070

    - movie maker 2 - clips reversed I have imported a video I recorded onto a DVD, then onto the computer. The DVD show is about 35 minutes total and I want to get a 45-second segment off this DVD to save as a file separately so I can upload that 45-second file to my website. I "imported" the dvd file into MM2 and it created a bunch of "clips". However the clip thumbnail images are "reversed" (backwards or upside down). How can I change this? Also, there is no audio but the DVD did have audio. I dragged 3 clips onto the timeline as those 3 are the ones I want, but like I said, the clip images are upside down/reversed and no audio. Any help would be appreciated! Thank you. Tag: Inverted preview Tag: 50063

    - Capturing Video From ATI Rage Video Theatre Capture Device Hi, When I attempt to capture a video, the preview screen and subsequent captured file display flashing colors. Occassionally, I am not allowed to capture a file and get a message that more or less says: "Device already in use by another application" (meaning, I assume, ATI itself). I can capture fine using the ATI TV/composite option, but the video is imported in .mp2 which is incompatible with my CD/DVD burning software and I have no way to convert .mp2 to a different format. Is there a known way to fix this apparent incompatibility betyween MM2 and ATI short of aquiring additional software? If not, what software is recommended to rectify this issue? Thanks in advance, Terry Davidson Tag: Inverted preview Tag: 50046

    - Video skips when added to timeline Hello - I'm having a problem with viewing my videos in Movie Maker. If I just preview the clips from within the "collection," they play just fine. But if I add one to the timeline, even if it's the only thing there, it skips so badly when playing that I basically can't even view it.

    - Free Web Hosting Services... My newsletter this week will be about the 'free' web hosting services for videos... I've signed up for 5 of them and tested with both movies from Movie Maker, and stories from Photo Story 3... I'm impressed with how well they work... each handle the WMV files, including the stories. For example, here's a link to my sample story on the Google service. It's converted to a Flash file by Google, so viewing should work on systems that have problems with the special codec needed to play the story itself. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-906444855878940797 If you click on the 'Next' video on the page, it'll be the Movie Maker 2 sample file I uploaded. -- PapaJohn Movie Maker 2 and Photo Story 3 website - http://www.papajohn.org Tag: Inverted preview Tag: 50014

    - Reinstall Movie Maker? I have just started movie maker for the first time. (Didn't know it existed until a friend told me about it recently!) When it started there was a message saying a file was missing (Which of course I did not make note of!) It asked if I wished to continue, and I said yes. I wanted to test how it worked so I just imported a small MPG clip, about 5mg, I dragged the parts to the timeline and proceeded through the save to disc sequence. At which point the screen said Movie Maker was unable to save the file, and to check if the source file was still available and if there was enough disc space. Yes to both. But I am still unable to save a file. When I attempted the same with a different clip, Movie Maker crashed, and sent a report to MS. (No response from MS!) Tried once more with yet another clip. THis time my computer froze, and I had to do the CTL/ALT/DEL thing. Is there some way to determine which file was missing when I first started Movie Maker? From what little I can see here there appears to be no way to re-install it. Any and all advice gratefully recieved. Thanks Seeker Tag: Inverted preview Tag: 50008

    - Importing burned DVD back into WMM to save? Ok, first, I'm pretty low-tech but I can usually figure things out. I made a Video in WMM and burned the video to DVD+R. The video was taking up 10 Gb, so I deleted the project from my hard drive, leaving the burned DVD as my only copy. I didn't even think to save it in a compressed format. Now that's what I want to do, so I can host parts of it on the internet. I've tried, but I can't get WMM to import the finished product / DVD. It's a .ts file or something. (?) I don't have it hear at work. What do I need to do to load the video from the DVD+R back to WMM so I can save the project and upload to the internet? Also it's about 16 minutes long, so I need to break it up into about 4 smaller segments. Many thanks for your time. Tag: Inverted preview Tag: 49995

    - connecting camcorder to pc (slightly ot) Hi A guy at work has recently bought a digital camcorder and was asking me about firewire connections (I know the general consensus is that its the best way to connect). His camera connects via the USB lead to a socket on the camera which is what seems to be the standard USB connection. We have 3 digital cameras and 3 MP3 players (different brands) and all use this same small plug to connect to the USB. My camera (Canon) is a few years old and uses the dv connection found on the end of the standard firewire cable, is this not used anymore, is the USB type small plug now the standard on new digital camcorders? thanks Gary -- Visit my websites at www.justjents.co.uk www.recumbent.50megs.com Tag: Inverted preview Tag: 49963

    - Why is "Combine" not possible in MovieMaker ? Ok, I loaded a wmv movie into MovieMaker and put the marker (=blue vertical line in the timeline) somewhere in the mid of the movie. Then I did a first "split" and just a second one afterwards on another position with success. Now I have 3 independent parts. I marked the middle part and deleted successfully. Finally I wanted to paste the remaining two parts. For that I hold down the CTRL key and selected with mouse clicks at first the left then the right part. When I go now to the "clip" menu in order to make a "Combine" operation it is NOT possible. The menu entry "Combine" is greyed out/disabled. Why ?

    - codecs Windows Media Player and Movie Maker can be set up to download codecs automatically, how intuitive is this though...? I have an AVI file created with my digital snapshot camera - it plays ok in Media Player, then still ok played from 'Collections' in Movie Maker, but only as a blank screen with sound only when played from the 'Timeline'. I downloaded AceMegaCodecs while I was trying to get better support for mp4 files, also DEP has dug it's heels in trying to close Explorer, Movie Maker and Media Player when I attempt anything with the AVI. It wouldn't be so bad I could get the sound from the file, but I simultaneously recorded a wav file for dubbing through a shure PG58 mic, so my AVIs are effectively now turning out useless.

    - Nero Suddenly Won't Accept .AVI Files I have a Fuji V10 Digital Camera and have been using it to create .AVI clips. NeroVision 3 accepted these clips and I burned a successful DVD. Recently I added more clips to the same xD card, and then copied these to a folder containing the original .AVI clips. I then selected the new .AVI clips to form a new Nero DVD project. I was shocked to find that Nero would not accept them. In fact, every time I try to add them, it thinks the first is an .AVI file, but it thinks all the others are sound files! I have recopied the clips to my hard drive to no avail. Also, when this happens, Nero stops responding. The xD card was used to the point of "card full." The only thing I can think of is that somehow the files got corrupted. However, they play back perfectly on the camera, and the files on the HD play perfectly on Win Media Player and other media players. Does anyone know what may have happened? Thanks in advance.

    - Confirming Collections Plan Since editing is art, I'm never quite done with a movie, but I don't trust my machine to be ready to start editing the movie I last worked on 6 months ago (i.e. maybe the machine gets reformatted, or whatever). So I want to confirm that an improvised collections export process, for which a formal versino seems to have been left out of this version, will work. When I burn the video DVD, I put a data folder with the raw footage, stills, and audio on the DVD as well. Even with that, if I wanted it bad enough, I could re-create the movie, but I didn't want to loose all of the work I've done with the collections. So if I also save the MEDIATAB?.DAT file on the DVD, woud I be able to 'reconstitute' the project, complete with collections, on my reformatted machine? I realize that the "old" collections that I would copy into the C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Movie Maker\ folder would wipe out my current one if I didn't back it up outside of this location first. But accepting that I would be in a "collections database swap mode", would this work? Is there anything in the DAT file that WMM2 would see as "foreign" and "reject the transplant"? BTW, I've read and think I understand most of what I found here: http://www.papajohn.org/MM2-Managing-Collections.html, but that application is slightly different, and I'm not serious enough about this to install MM1 just for managing collections. But papajohn's discussion is similar enough to make me think what I plan will work, but it doesn't hurt to get a nod from those that really know what they are doing! --Dale-- Tag: Inverted preview Tag: 49915
