Jerky picture
When I try to capture video via USB from my Panasonic NV-DS65 video camera
the resulting footage is very jerky as though the fps is too low.
My system purchased in 2003 consists of:
a AMD Athlone XP 2800+ processor
nVidia nForce2 motherboard with dual channel DDR
1GB DDR
250GB SATA Hard Drive
ATI Radeon 128MB 9800SE All In Wonder graphics Card
Is there anything obviously wrong with my set up and how do I correct it?
Any suggestions gratefully received. Tag: Missing Transistions! Tag: 47719

saving movies
Thanx papa john. . .i did a little research already and i was able to
increase the amount of space for temporary internet files, i think i read to
do that somewhere, and i did a little troubleshooting on my own. I went in
and made a real small movie and it saved fine. I then went and tried to
re-save my movie again. . .it is 1.2 gigs, to my surprise i got an actual
estimate of time to complete, rather than just . . . .! So this is a start.
I think my problem may be that my file is too big. Did i read something
about splitting somewhere? Would that be the way to go or what? Or should i
just try and save it as is. The time estimate was like 25373 mins or
something. That is enormous amount of time. i have 23 gigs of disk space.

cannot save movie file
Hi, I am getting this error message when trying to save my movie.
WMM cannot save the mvie to the specified location. Verify that the
original source file used in your movie are still available, taht the saving
location is still available, and that there is enough free disk space
available and the try again.
None of these three things seem to be the problem. I am saving it to My
Computer in My Videos folder. I have made two movies before and saved them
successfully and burned them to DVD, but this time I cannot save it.
Any easy answers?? Thank you! Tag: Missing Transistions! Tag: 47697

Error when adding music to movie
I have a Panasonic NV-GS75 and I download my movies directly via Firewire to
Microsoft Movie Maker 2.1. I can edit, add titles then publish my movies
just fine. However - when I add in some music, I get this error:
Error signature
AppName: moviemk.exe AppVer: 2.1.4026.0 ModName: ffdshow.ax
ModVer: 1.0.0.1 Offset: 0003c59f
I'm assuming this is a problem with the ffdshow.ax codec. So I downloaded a
newer version, ended up with the same problem. Now, I used to be able to put
music be it mp3 or wav into movies no problem - this just came out of the

Audio when saving to AVI-PAL
O'K... so I've created a nice movie in WMM2 with its own soundtrack, start-
and end titles, transitions and so on. Took me round a week to do. Now I
would like to save it down to one of my hard discs as an .avi file (PAL
system) and than burn a HQ DVD. The saving process goes smooth, about 20
minutes ( movie itself has about 35 minutes), no comunicate about error or
anything. The final file has round 7GB but it does not matter. Quality is
perfect .... but there is no sound at all!!!
I tried to save as any other file like .wmv. No problemo! Video and sound
are O'K (with the quality typical to that system of coding). So why no sound
at .avi?!?!?!?
The source files are in .avi, from digital camcorder via IEEE 1394
(FireWire) and are perfect.
Help needed. I would be very greatefull as well as my frinds. The movie is
from New year's Eve

I am new to recording and have a question. I recorded a video that is just a

Also, i don't know how to delete all the credits etc. from certain media to

WMM only saves part of the movie!
I'm making a movie (or more of a slide show) that has several hundreds JPEGs
in it. I'm up to about 15 minutes right now (at four seconds per picture
generally). The movie plays fine in WMM itself but when I try to save it as
an actual movie to my computer or to a CD it won't save the entire thing. I
have plenty of hard drive space and I've tried it on a PC that has 512MG RAM
AND 1GB RAM and the same thing happened. It says it saves okay but then when
I play it in Media Player partway in the pictures stop rotating and the
screen goes black and a couple minutes later the audio stops as well. Any

Hang upon Running WMM 2.1
When I open WMM 2.1, as soon as I click on something, the program hangs. It
has been this way since I had to replace my hard drive. I have been to
PapaJohn's WMM site and nothing posted there seemed to help. So I have come
to believe that it is NOT a codec issue (at least not one of the 20 listed on
PapaJohn's site)
The only way I am able to get WMM 2.1 to run is to first remove the
MEDIATAB*.DAT file in the folder C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Local
Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Movie Maker. But this is absurd because
the MEDIATAB*.DAT file contains all the data on the clips I had in the
Collections folders, so upon removing this file, I have no clips to use and
have to re-import them. But it is no guarantee that the program will not
hang when I go to edit the clips. Even so, the next time I go to run WMM, it
hangs, and I must once again remove the MEDIATAB*.DAT file if I wish to use
the program.
Is there anyone who can think of a permanent solution that allows me to keep
the clips in the Collections folders? Because it defeats the purpose of
getting the program to run if I have to remove the clips. It's like trading
in the cart for a horse to pull it. Tag: Missing Transistions! Tag: 47618

Error Message when selecting Capture from video device
I bought a Dazzle DVC 80 and installed on my PC running XP. I was able to
capture the video but no sound. I tried all different types of connections
and input sources with the exception of MICROPHONE. I highlight microphone
because I noticed someone else had the same problem that I originally had and
Microphone was the Input option I needed. Well I seemed to have answered my
first problem but I have a bigger problem. While I was trying to figure out
how to get sound. I noticed that in the "audio device" dropdown it had my
sound card listed. I also noticed that in the drop down was the video
capture device "DVC 80 16k Audio(2). So I selected that...That did not work
either. Now when I start up Movie Maker and hit "capture from video device"
I get an error message stating "No such interface supported". I'm pretty
sure its from me changing the audio device from my soundcard to the capture
device. Unfortunetaly I can't switch it back because everytime the error
message comes up I have to hit "ok" and it closes down where you can change
the audio options. Anyone have any suggestions on how to remedy my problem.
