    - Undesired "Funhouse Mirror" Effect when Rotating Clip Input file is MPEG-4 in .avi format, 640x480 pixels, from my Canon S1-IS digital camera. When I captured the video, the camera was rotated 90 degrees. After import into moviemaker, I rotated the clip 90 degrees to set things right, but moviemaker apparently "stretched" the result in the horizontal direction (instead of inserting bars or something), so now the aspect ratio of objects and and people is messed up. How can I rotate my clip without messing up the aspect ratio? Re-capturing the scene is not an option, it was a once-only opportunity. Am I going to have to turn my monitor sideways to watch it? thanks, Martin Tag: Keep the same resolution or perspective 304 x 224, workaround? Tag: 43487

    - merging projects I have created several projects using WMM(v5.1). I would like to combine these different projects into one video to record back to my camcorder or to save to my hard drive in order to then record it onto a dvd using Sonic. I have tried to import one project into another, but it either doesn't allow me to do this, or I am doing something incorrectly. Does WMM even have this option? Thanks for the help!

This does not present a problem as far as I can tell because I can now play with it in MM2. The question I have is after I select to convert to avi how do I pick which compressor to use ?

    - too many programs similar, how to do..... I have used WMP2 to more or less create slide show with transitions etc. It only has maybe 15 slides, no audio yet, not been burned to CD after saving to HD... I now find that it CANT be be read/seen on a CD (or DVD?) standalone machine used with TV, hence cant show this thing on a TV? NOW I have fine, photos, scans etc, and text for these, but they are isolated to the computer world at present? BUT I can take said photos, add captions, make text enhanced with graphics on another program and save as a file, hence having a graphic text regarding each or many photos.... WHERE is the program that will do this simple task and simply overwrite music? Even as a 'second track' (poor term..) . IMHO we have a huge waste of time dealing with the R&D of not only WMM but the others, then finding out our efforts are only for the computer world...... I invested in a 42" plasma TV, yet I cant use it, nor can Aunt Bess or Cousin Al, read and use my family history enhanced photo journal.... Color me frustrated......

    - Audio drop out when rendering back to DV cam (only) Having completed movie, when sending back to DV camera (via firewire) audio occasionally drops out (goes silent) for a fraction of a second. Particularly noticable if using an over dubbed music audio track and often the drop out is the overlay track not the audio with the video, thus I assume the Camera is responding OK. (No problems when saving to other file format eg video CD). Does not seem to be related to how hard the PC is working, ie lots of transitions cross fades or few and having checked processor use, seems like it never gets above 47% use during render. Also does not always happen in the same place every time but more often than not; on occasion it does not drop out but buzzes like a hung stopped note for a fraction of a sec Tends to happen two or three times within the first minute then is OK for the rest of the movie. (Not running fat 32 and have turned off quite a lot of background running progs eg internet firewall Spybot etc.) PC spec is 2.6 Althlon, 1G of RAM, 200G HD useable, movie lengths around 8 mins!

    - Date and time (again) Hello. I asked about how to get time and date with my filmclips yesterday and got some good tips (thanks to PapaJohn and Graham Hughes). None of them to my satisfaction though. The problem: To get time and date showing in the lower right corner (or someplace else, of course...) of my home movies. The help i got: 1) To make my camcorder to embed the info so it would turn up automaticly. I didn't manage that. 2) To download software to fix my problem. Downloaded DVDate. That program only work with .avi-files. .avi-files are big! Since i don't have room for my home movies in .avi-format, this solution didn't work for me either. My question: Does anybody know how i can get time and date showing on a .wmv-file? Tilda P.S. I know that I can a) capture one film in .avi b) use DVDate c) burn it d) delete it from my computer e) repeat from a) with next film Tag: Keep the same resolution or perspective 304 x 224, workaround?

    - Storyboard to Movie and fill up the Storyboard with lots of clips.

    - Colors too intense? Incorrect Gamma? (and sound issue) I am a newbie to WMM2, but an advanced digital photographer who understands ICC color profiles, etc. quite well. I am using a fully color managed environment, including monitor profile. Here is my problem: I am making a movie out of still photos. These were shot in either sRGB or AdobeRGB color space, converted to sRGB (with an sRGB working space) in Photoshop, and either "saved for web" from PS with no profile, or saved with the sRGB profile assigned. They look great in non-color managed programs such as Irfanview, or a web browser. So far so good. In WMM2 they look great. The movie plays perfectly in WMM2 and colors are great. When I save the movie on my desktop and play it on my computer the colors are way too intense - people are too red, and all colors are too intense. It is the same in Windows Media and a Creative Player (haven't tried anything else). The video settings are default in WMP. If I increase brightness and contrast they look like I expect them. I have tried them on another computer and they look like they should. However, I am planning on sending them out to dozens of people, and I am afraid they will look horrible on a percentage of the computers. I have searched and searched for any color management in either WMM2 or WMP, or some setting. I am saving these movies under optimized settings, not as compressed. The photo files are 600 X 400 pixels. On another issue - on my work laptop the movie looks good, but the WMA soundtrack is halting throughout. Help, please.
