    - Import and freeze problem I used a program called vob2mpg to convert my video. I imported this into my movie. Now it hangs the program constantly. I did research and think it may have been converted into a mpeg2, which apparently Windows Movie Maker doesn't like. Trouble is, I can't delete the clip I inserted. What can I do to get rid of it? I'll try to convert to AVI or mpeg1 now to see if I have more success! Tag: Mpeg 2 to avi problem Tag: 65037

    - MovieMaker 5.1 - missing pics/videos/audio I am working with a student on a school project. She has created a Movie Maker project - imported pics, music, video. We went through all steps - saved the movie to computer. We have since played the saved movie in Media Player. The project is so good - we are planning to enter it into our state media festival. Her original folder was backed up - all files are located in the same folder. When we open the project - it shows the first slide - all others have a large X (though the pic name shows below it). How can we get all the pics, audio, video to show up in the project without having to import and start over? -- Thanks, HMaddox Tag: Mpeg 2 to avi problem Tag: 65036

    - Captured video only plays as blank screen. So, I'm trying to capture my old vhs tapes from my vcr into my computer. On the capture screen i click start capture and it seems to be capturing, the preview plays the video and audio just fine. I thought it was capturing the movie then after about 30 min i thought i'd stop capture and save it. When I tried to play the what i had just captured the clip playin in movie maker and windows media player showed the clip as being 30min, but wasn't playing any video or audio just a black screen. I just remember another problem. In the preview window it showed the how many minutes of film had been captured, but on estimated video size it only said 5k and was not moving. Sorry this was a long post. any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Tag: Mpeg 2 to avi problem Tag: 65027

    - sound probelm i just finished a video using my old digital camera. its a music video with a piece of conversation between me and my wife at the beginning. i used the microphone from the camera to capture the converstaion and then used an mp3 for the music later on. whenever i tried to save the film onto my computer and then play it back on the windows media player the sound and video jumps ONLY when the conversation takes place causing me to believe that it is the sound problem from the digital camera. when i checked on what setting my camera was on it said 'PAL' and not 'NTSC' does this make a difference? i have tried copying the conversation audio onto a narration track using the narration tool and the same thing happens when i play the finished film on WMP. is there any way i can change the quality of the conversation audio so that it doesnt mess up the film when i play it back. the bit rate for the audio track is 32 kbps. sample rate: 8khz ...if this is any help. i hope i have explained this well enough. i have been tearing my hair out with this. at the moment the only option i can think of is to re-do the conversation with a narraration over the top. like a re-dub. any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks Tag: Mpeg 2 to avi problem Tag: 65024

    - WMM thinks I have no memory left in My Computer. I had finished making a music video. I clicked the "Save to my computer." When the Windows Movie Maker Wizard shows, I chose my video's destination to be "My Videos." I clicked "Next." Then, when they ask for my video size/selection, I chose "High Quality (small)." This means my video should be 320 x 240. I click "Next." Note: My computer C drive has 46.37 GB left However, when they showed me the saving progress, it shows me "Save to my CD." "You're movie is being recorded and saved to a CD." I don't understand. My destination was supposed to be "My Videos" in my C drive. Plus, it stays at 0% I don't know what's going on. I have plenty of memory left and I don't know why it thinks "My Videos" is full. Please help me and thank you. Tag: Mpeg 2 to avi problem Tag: 65019

    - WMV File Clip "Plays" But Video Image Does Not Advance I have Captured a 34 MB File from my Sony HandyCam as a WMV file. As I had checked the box so that it would be automatically split up into individual Clips, MovieMaker 2.1 created 39 Clips out of the file. The first Clip works fine (i.e., the progression bar advances, I hear the audio and the video displays and advances normally in the upper right video display area---and I can pause, move frames forward and backward, etc). I created a Split in the first Clip at a desired point. The subsequent Clips "Play" after some delay---which I assume is beacuse of indexing / positioning to the applicable Start and Stop time reference points in the WMV file---with the progression bar advancing, the audio playing, BUT the video displays only the first frame in the Clip and does NOT advance normally in the upper right video display area. The entire WMV file plays without issue, from end to end, in Windows Media Player without issue. I am at a loss as to what is happening here. I have rebooted my PC and get the same results. The various Clips obviously cannot be edited without being able to "see" and position the frames for further Clip splitting and posting to the Storyboard Timeline. MVP guidance would be much appreciated. Tag: Mpeg 2 to avi problem Tag: 65018

    - fuzzy photos AFTER project has been saved Hello all, this is not the first time I have used MM to make a project but it is the first time I feel that the photos I see in my finished product are not very sharp. I can understand that before finalizing the project photos should be fuzzy but not once I save the project. I had such high hope! Please help. I am wondering if it has anything to do with the fact that this time I imported 3 small videos. I read somewhere that I can check the video or movie setting? I just can't seem to find it. Thanks for any help = )) Gabriela Tag: Mpeg 2 to avi problem Tag: 64997

    - Movie Maker, Vista, and MM restarts instead of publishing I'm using Vista, MM 6.0 etc, WMV audio file, JPG pictures, short video clips in the WMV format. No special effects on transitions. I've worked hard to time the pictures and video with the audio (it's a music video of my band that I'm working on) but when I go to publish --- MM asks for a file name, which I enter and hit next, then it closes, restarts itself, checks for the files, but does absolutely nothing after that. No error messages. It just doesn't publish. I tried copying the file and moving over to XP, but that doesn't work. Duh, I should've realized it would be a different version. What can I do to resolve this? I saw a similar problem on XP posts that's resolved by resaving video with some sort of Microsoft video timestamp program but can't figure out if that applies here.

    - Movie Maker crashes immediately I tried running Movie Maker for the first time but it crashed immediately. I apparently inherited this (as I've read) from installing SP2...eons ago. In an attempt to repair it, I've managed to install 2.0 over 2.1 and then take 2.0 back off again (I think). I've even tried re-installing the update that put it on originally (I think)...KB892312. All to no avail...it still crashes several seconds after starting it. The desktop is drawn and the pull down menus will respond but I then get the dreaded "xxx has encountered a problem and needs to close..." window. I'd like to just clean install 2.1 again but I can't imagine going back dozens (hundreds?) of fixes to SP2. Ideas? Tag: Mpeg 2 to avi problem Tag: 64975

    - Windows Movie maker problem hello there. to the point. when trying to create a movie. all is well in the begining. after I add the first video clip, when I add another video clip. an then the Moviemaker Crash's. from the first time I had problems I think when I imported a video clip that was given to me. an when I added it to movie maker. at first was ok. then after it started not work properly. as in the interface. all the features went from what is seen when the all is working. then to now the interface is bare minimal. no transitions an such. well to say after I updated my platform I got to see my moviemaker as it was. but still won't allow me to add one more video clip. it crash's. I notice when I updated my platform it also updated my moviemaker to the new updated 2.1 I have been contemplating on trying to download the trial version to see if that could fix whatever happened to the regestry. ughh its madening. I'm wandering if it could be to do with plugins. I have no experience in this. as I won't load the video that was on disc. for example I'm wandering if the small video clip could have been a divx. I still new to this movie maker, its fun an now its a painful begining. Tag: Mpeg 2 to avi problem Tag: 64973

    - Splitting a Clip and Saving the Smaller Clips Individually My external memory drive with 27GB of videos crashed.

    - moving WMM project & files to another computer Hello, I created a music video on an XP computer that worked great. I moved the project and all the related clip files to a VISTA computer so that I could utilize some of the newer "effects" (WMM v.6). BUT, even though the project seems to exhibit all the clips on the timeline just fine - it won't play or "publish" because (I think) WMM thinks the original files are missing. Initially, the timeline was blank - but I clicked on<browse for missing file> which SEEMED to bring everthing back in, but it still doesn't play. Does anyone know how to tell WMM where to "look for" files in the case of a computer change. I know that invariably, with such a switch, the files are obviously no longer in exactly the same spot as before - and the project needs to be re-educated as to their location.

    - Rendering Problems I have a 30 minute film with video clips and bmp photos and wma music. The first rendering requested I free up more memory and suggested â??disk clean upâ??. I did this and then it suggested â??do you want more memoryâ??. I clicked yes and it pulled up all of my programs. I deleted some programs and started rendering. It went OK until about 3 minutes before the end and the video and audio got â??jerkyâ?? and the rendering stopped, saying the video was complete. I removed some more programs, and tried rendering again. This time the same thing happened after only 10 minutes, â??jerkyâ?? and the program is complete. Without removing any more programs, I rendered it again, and this time it stopped after about 12 minutes, saying the program is complete. My source file has taken up about 20 GB of my partitioned 60GB D drive. My C drive has about 7 GB free on my 16GB C drive. SRAM is 512 MB Processor is Pentium 4 1.5GHz Question 1) Is the temporary rendering file on the D or C drive? Question 2) If I cut the video into say 3 separate videos and render each to the hard drive, then place these 3 new video clips on a new time line. Should that work? Question2a) How do you cut up the existing video? Question 2b) Will I have enough memory to do this. Thanks for any advise. Randy -- RR Tag: Mpeg 2 to avi problem Tag: 64889

    - New movie won't save I have created simple movies by using pictures, clipart and such to create a movie. For the first time I am trying to create a movie using video. I import a movie from a website that is unprotected and in .wmv format. I try to create a new movie by using only a portion of the imported video. The selected clips can be put on the timeline and play just fine. The problem is when I try to save the new video to my computer. The save dialogue opens and within about a minute gets to 95% and then stops and goes no further. It continues to say that it is saving and the Task Manager indicates that it is running. But it never completes the save. I even let it go for 12 hours on one try. The same result happens when trying to save to a CD except that the process stops at 55%. This has been the same result on three different computers using XP Pro and XP. What is the problem? Can movies not be made from downloaded videos imported into Movie Maker?

What sort of Mpeg was it?
What size was the mpeg file?
720x576 (480)?
What quality was it, what was the compression rate used on it?
Where did the mpeg come from?
