    - Serious problem with Movie Maker... I've made a number of movies using Microsoft Movie Maker, and in each case converted them to windows media player files after editing. Recently, i made a 30 minute movie using the program, converted it to windows media player format, and later went back to edit the file i used in Movie Maker to make some changes, but as soon as i click on the timeline, the program disappears. No freezing, no errors, just closes immediately. I've opened numerous other Movie Maker files just to see if i can make changes or even keep the program open, but again the program disappears. Not sure what to think of this, and extremely unhappy. Need help, please. Tag: Making a DVD from a Project Made in WMM Tag: 25426

    - Windows Movie Maker 2.1 and Windows XP SP2 Apparently Windows XP SP2 contains MS Movie Maker V2.1. I didn't know this and after doing a clean install of Windows XP with SP2 I installed MS Movie Maker V2.0. Now I can't find any way to install V2.1 over the top. Windows Update offers nothing. Where can I get MS Movie Maker V2.1?? TIA -- Brian Gregory. (In the UK) ng@bgdsv.co.uk To email me remove the letter vee. Tag: Making a DVD from a Project Made in WMM Tag: 25425

    - Click to DVD s/w How can I get a copy of Sony's "click to DVD" s/w? I just bought a new Sony minidv camera, but it doesn't come w the s/w. I don't have a VAIO, I know it comes with them. Sony doesn't sell it. My video camera has a menu on the touch screen allowing me to burn straight to DVD only if I have this s/w. This would make life much easier, I don't need to do much editing usually, and most other s/w is more trouble than I want to deal with. Please respond if you can help me acquire this s/w.

    - Longer Audio Fade? I would like to lengthen the audio fades. I found what seemed like a very elegant solution from "papajohn", but was unable to execute his technique. He suggested overlapping a muted audio clip over the clip you want to fade. The problem seems to be that when you overlap two audio clips they simply overlap at equal, constant volume (it does not gradually introduce one over the other). Am I missing something in this approach? Is there another way to extend the length of audio fade? Thanks! Tag: Making a DVD from a Project Made in WMM Tag: 25401

It controlls the camera without any problems it allows me to start the capture but I notice when it starts the captured file size stays at 3 kb and doesnt go up in size. If I switch the camera from play to record I can see the preview window in MM2 and can even capture video. It seems to only do it when I am going off tape. I tried to use media encoder 9 and it does the same thing. Here are my specs AMD 2500+ 1 gig RAM Win XP sp2 ATI All in wonder connected to camera through firewire. I have also tried other mini DV tapes and all do the same thing. Any help would be appreciated Tag: Making a DVD from a Project Made in WMM Tag: 25399

    - Resolution, quality.... I have read all 64 pages of this discussion, and I went through Papa's page, and now I mixed up everything. Could anyone be so kind to tell me, in short, the best procedure for getting the best quality possible. I capture videos through firewire, DV-AVI, and I understood that the quality would be low during editing. Which option should I use for saving an edited movie: 1. For playback on the computer 2. For burning on a DVD 3. For making a VHS Thank you all Tag: Making a DVD from a Project Made in WMM Tag: 25368

    - Unknown error, plays only first clip Hi, I have captured in MM2 a one-hour old VHS tape. The file plays just fine at Windows Media Player or inside MM2 if I import it without creating clips. Unfortunately, if I set MM2 to create the clips, only the first one is playable, the others show a dialog box with the message "Unknown error" when I try to play them. The file has about 800 megs, it's a wmv file, I don't know for sure which codec it uses. It was caputred by MM2, using nVidia WDM 2 drivers, with a GForce 4400 board.

    - English MUI? Hello I am an owner of a Japanese windows xp home ed. computer and I was wondering if there was an ENGLISH MUI download available for Windows Movie Maker. I know there are other supported languages but English is not in that download list probably because they assume that you have the english version. I have also noticed that they have take off the download for Windows Movie Maker from the download section. Why? This was how I used to get mine to display english but I had to reformat and I cannot get it anymore. PLease help.

    - Capturing into existing Collection Can you capture new footage and add it to an existing Collection? If so, how? How do you specify where it is to go?

    - Capture Problems with Laptop This Packard Bell iGO 4451 laptop will not capture video using MM2.1 or any earlier versions. It is running XP SP2 and has a 1.5 GHz Celeron, 224 MB RAM and a SIS Video Card. Firewire connectivity is provided by an NEC PCMCIA Firewaire card. There are no conflicts shown in Windows system device manager. The firewire card, cable and camcorder all work immediately with MM2.1 on my IBM Thinkpad laptop. When I click on capture video, the camcorder will rewind, then go into the play mode. MM2.1 logs 3 kb of video only and the clock does not increment. There is no difference when selecting other settings or video quality. If I cancel that then try again, it reports that there is no tape in the camcorder. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Pete Tag: Making a DVD from a Project Made in WMM Tag: 25341

Two issues are the same actually: When I run MM2 and open/import a movie file type and error window pops up saying (in a frame that says Visual C++) "Runtime Error. Abnormal program termination. C:\program location\moviemaker.exe." Then MM2 crashes and drops me back to the desktop. The second issue is the same; if I go to windows explorer and open up the folders to My Videos and dclick on any movie file (MPEG,etc) the exact same window error pops up.

    - Scene changes and DVD chapters I'm a newbie when it comes to MM2. I really like the program, it is far better and easier to use than Nero 6. I created my first movie in MM2 then burned it to DVD using Nero, but I am very dissatisfied that I lose the scene changes when I go into the DVD authoring application. So while I'd like to continue using MM2 (it works *fine* for what I want to do with the mini-DV home movies of my kids) I'd also like to explore a more complete application that lets me keep my scene changes and use those as DVD chapters directly. Currently I have to do these steps separately and it's really a waste of time. So my questions would be: 1. Can any DVD authoring application read the MM2 project file and use my scenes as DVD chapters? 2. Is there an all-in-one package like Sony's "Click to DVD" that can combine these steps? Basically, I want to do something a bit more polished than directly burning a DVD from my tapes, but I don't want to spend more than about 20-30 minutes in front of the computer (capturing, encoding and burning times excluded). Suggestions? Thanks, - Leo Tag: Making a DVD from a Project Made in WMM Tag: 25295
