    - Installation problem I've dowloaded Movie Maker 2.0 to my PC but when succesfully completed and I try to run the program it states "Runtime Error! This application has requested to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application support team for more information." I've also tried to go into add/remove programs to run a repair but I cannot find Movie Maker in the list. Many thanks. Tag: Movie Maker Capturing Video Tag: 9983

    - video freezes audio continues I made a slide show with digital pics using Movie Maker and added several songs. It plays ok on the timeline and I saved it to a CD and to my computer. I played the CD using Media Player 9 and it works good for about 3/4 the show and then stalls on a pic but the songs keep playing. It does the same thing with the file I saved on the puter. What am I doing wrong? The whole slide show is about 30 minutes in length and works fine for about 15 minutes then starts acting up. Tag: Movie Maker Capturing Video Tag: 9979

I am running win2k and xp on two machines....same problem. Have tried several movies....just cant add titles. Transitions, sound, etc. are no problems.

    - Importing MPEG - No Picture ! When I import a mpeg movie file and then drag it to the time line, it appears on the 'Audio/Music' line only i.e. there is nothing on the Video timeline. However if I play it in Windows Media Player, everything (sound and picture) is there. Anyone know what the problem might be? Also if I click on the imported file in the 'Collections' window, a separate ActiveMovie Window opens and I can see the picture in it. Tag: Movie Maker Capturing Video Tag: 9953

    - Audio becomes distorted when clip put into show storyline Audio becomes distorted and "tin sounding" when clip is put into the show storyline. The audio is normal when played within the collections location but as soon as I drag and drop the clip into the show timeline the audio becomes distorted, "tin and shricky" sounding.

    - MM2 DVD menu system - is there such a thing? Hi all, I like the ease of use that MM2 provides, but the title system leaves a bit to be desired. Is there such a thing as a DVD menu system plug-in for MM2? It would be nice to be able to click to different chapters on the disc. Thanks for any info or answers.

    - Sound I captured video to Window Movie Maker 2 and edited it, seemed OK. Then I saved it as .wmv format. Again MyDVD Preview Mode all was OK, so I burnt it onto a +DVD. However, on the finished DVD there is a specific sound sync problem. It is OK for most of the project until you come to a title without audio inserted into the "storyline". After the title, the video continues, but the sound does not restart until 6 seconds into the video. For the rest of the film the sound-track remains the same exact 6 seconds behind the video. This is only on the finished DVD. I have tried re-burning, but exactly the same problem. Any ideas please? Thanks, Peter. Tag: Movie Maker Capturing Video Tag: 9937

If any of you have time, can you go to the following Web site: http://www.3Senoritas.com and let me know if you can see the video. It seems pointless to keep the tying demos there if no one can see them! Too bad, such an easy way for people to learn Thanks a million Trina Tag: Movie Maker Capturing Video Tag: 9903

    - Which versions of Windows Media Player Can Play these files? I've been experimenting with Windows Movie Maker and love the end result. It was so easy to learn! However, I'm having problems playing the movie file that is created. It plays fine on my Windows XP machine at the office, but when I try to play the file using the Windows Media Player on the computers at home (one Windows 2000, the other Windows XP), I get only audio, and a black screen for video. Does Windows Media Player create a new type of file that only later versions of Windows Media Player can handle? I'm wondering if I need to download and install a newer version of Windows Media Player on these machines. Has anyone else seen this? Thanks, DD Tag: Movie Maker Capturing Video Tag: 9898

    - Device disconnects I start a capture and it will run about 2 minutes and then the capture stops. I receive a message that the device has disconnected and as soon as I kill the message I get the popup that you normally get when you turn on the camera. It seems to be a pervasive problem because I get the same results in other capture software. I'm using 1394 connection to a Sony Mini DV. The 1394 port is onboard an Asus P4C800 motherboard.

    - De-Letterbox when converting? I use WMM2 to make small movies to watch on the Pocket PC. I use the largest set profile for PPC, 320x240 at 218 kbps, to convert MPEG movies to watch on the PPC. 320x240 is not letterbox, however if the original movie is in letterbox wide-screen format, the resulting picture is also in that format, with an empty black stripe above and below the picture. I don't mind watching letterbox on the television. The empty black stripes don't bother me. However, on the PPC, the screen is so small, I would like to have the picture fill the screen, and not have those black stripes above and below the picture. Is it possible during the encoding to WMV, to change the aspect ratio (no cropping) so that the resulting video fills the 320x240 screen? Tag: Movie Maker Capturing Video Tag: 9887

    - "Save Movie File" failed Using MovieMaker v2.0.3312.0 with Win XP Prof. I've used this program before on other systems but something appears to be corrupt because I am unable to save any size movie (even just a few second introduction). I've tried various quality levels and verified disk space (have over 120 GIG free space on drive), drive is formatted for NTFS. No matter what option I choose I get the message "Cannot Complete the Save Movie Wizard - Your movie was not saved successfully." Additional infomation displayed is "WMM cannot save the movie to the specified location. Verify that the orig. source files used in your movie are still available, that the saving location is still available, and that there is enough free disk space available, and then try again." I have verified everything, including admin rights (I am the admin.), free disk space, source files (even created a new movie with only a MM title created). I check the DLL files and reinstalled MM from Microsoft's website. I get the same message no matter what method I choose to save. I'm at a total loss now. Any advice or is there a log file created with each step within the wizard that may give me better details where the program is failing. Please help! Thank you.

    - Help on dvd's Good day !! I have edited a wedding video (WMM2) and I have already saved the completed avi files in the PAL format . ( I live in Johannesburg, South Africa and we use the PAL system here) . I have also saved some mpeg2 files (also made using PAL format ) using auto muvee. The problem is that 3 out of the 5 DVD's which I'm producing are going to be sent to the USA. The dvds which I am using are DVD+R discs. Using SONIC MY DVD to write to the dvds ,,, I have had no problems making the standard PAL dvds. Now it seems that I have to re-save all the files ( about 6 different movies ) in the NTSC format,, and then use SONIC MY DVD to write them. This is going to be a lot of extra work. Is there any way that these discs (PAL) will play in any of your DVD players over there in the States ..?? Second question . I have been using a DVD+RW hp disc to record some other projects. My SONIC DVD ,, erases the disc first as required ,, and the disc works fine on the computer. However when playing it in my DVD player ,,, it says NO DISC ,,, and therefore doesn't play. I await your expert help ... Regards Harold Silber Johannesburg South Africa Tag: Movie Maker Capturing Video Tag: 9861

    - Can't import AVI Hello, For some reason, I can't import any AVI in WMM2. Capturing works well (I can open the AVI file in media player that is written to my hard disk) but Movie Maker hangs when trying to import it. So, I guess this isn't a codec problem. By the way, importing WMV-files works fine though. Another weird thing is that the preview windows remains empty when I am running the video from the timeline, while previewing from the collection works fine. Can anyone help me, please?
