    - No Audio Capture Using Movie Maker 2.1. Having a common problem - no audio capture, but video works just fine. System Info: Windows XP Pro, SP2. 1GB RAM, 2.93 Ghz processor, 270GB worth of free space. Transferring video from old GE VCR. 4 RCA jacks in all - 1 pair audio/video out, 1 pair audio/video in. Using ATI Theater 550 Pro video card. Card has jacks for coax from source (in this case, VCR). Also has a jack for accepting connection from ATI dongle (dongle holds S-video, 3 RCA jacks..red, yellow, white). Coax runs from VCR to coax jack on back of ATI Theater card. S-video not possible; no s-video jack on VCR. Have yellow RCA jack from video out on vcr to yellow in jack on ATI dongle. Video works fine... Sound is the issue (sound works great in all other areas...dvd play, mp3, etc). From audio out jack on VCR to any of the other two possible connections on ATI dongle...no sound. I am following up with ATI as well, but wanted to ask here as well...maybe it's something simple that I am overlooking, and other folks can point to the connection error I am making. Thanks!

    - No preview window while capturing When capturing viseo from video camera, I have no preview moniter and I have no control of resolution as suggested in the "help" window. I have run three other different video capture software program including the one that came with my capture card and the preview works perfect with them, thus eliminating the hook up as a problem.

    - Deleting MovieMaker How do I get this thing off my system? Its a work machine and a test box with a small hard drive; I need the disk space back. but if I delete it the files just magically reappear after half a minute or so. I thought it might be System Restore putting them back so I turned that off, but they still resurrect automatically every time I try to delete them. Yet its not an installed program or an installed Windows component so it doesn't seem to have a clear uninstall path other than delting the files... Tag: Need help adding music.... Tag: 46529

    - HELP! Can't get video into WMM I am so frustrated! WMM is not recognizing my camera to capture the video. I get an error that says a video capture device was not detected. Since that wouldn't work, I also tried importing directly from the DVD/RW. An error message said the disc was not a format supported by Windows, and made the whole computer shut down. Any ideas?? I need to have this project done by Wednesday. Argh! (Camera is Hitachi DVD video camera/recorder. . . brand new and just out of the box yesterday) Thank you in advance, you all sound so smart. :-) Tag: Need help adding music.... Tag: 46527

    - Confusion in saving movie format I'm sorry but I'm kind of new to this forum and using movie maker. I have downloaded the clips from my digital camera. I'm thinking of burning the movie to DVD. What I did was to first of all save it to the computer. Shall I select DV-AVI as the format ? I did this but movie maker does not allow me giving a message that the file is too big for FAT32, whatever this means. So I selected the format at High Quality and burned it using another DVD authoring tool but quality is not good. Can anyone tell me where I went wrong please! Tag: Need help adding music....

    - Final Movie Resolution I have starting using MM recently by downloading some footage in the highest setting allowed. However, when I am putting the movie together and veiwing clips in the small viewing window all looks well, but if I enlarge the screen to full size, the video content loses it high resolution to a much lower quality and looks blurred/out of focus. This also transfers through to the final DVD copy? I have viewed the video content on my TV, direct from the camera, and the quality is fine and as it should be. Does anyone have any ideas why it seems to be losing it's quality through the transfer process. I am using a Firewire/1394 cable. Tag: Need help adding music.... Tag: 46480

    - Audio Problems I have an analog video camera. I plugged in all the wires properly, but when I go to capture video, there is only video, no sound. In the pull down menu for audio devices, there are two options: Realtek AC97 Audio, and Conexant Falcon Audio Capture. With the Realtek AC97 Audio option, I can select the audio input source, such as Line In, Line In 2, Mono mix, ect. I've tried all these options and none of them produce audio. The video capture device is called Conexant Falcon II NTSC Video Capture, so it would make sense that the audio device would be Conexant Falcon Audio Capture. When I select Conexant Falcon Audio Capture, no options for audio input source are given. But on the screen before the video capture, when I click next the screen freezes and will do nothing. As soon as a click around a few times, it says Not Responding and I have to Ctrl Alt Delete out of the program. I've tried doing this multiple times, and have rest the computer, but it keeps happening. I'm extremley frustrated, what should I do?! Tag: Need help adding music.... Tag: 46454

    - Windows Movie Maker I have some videoclips, which i want to put together to one movie. The clips comes in 640 * 480, 8 bit sound, AVI. No problem making a full movie in WMM in any format - but the sound is in all cases thin and metallic. On the original files the sound is fine. Any idea how to fix that problem, please ? Is there another program that can do the job (and as easy to use as WMM) without distorting the sound ? Kim Tag: Need help adding music.... Tag: 46449

    - "problem was encountered" error when I select AVC Compliant DV dev Just bought a JVC mini DV camcorder GR-D240EK and a Belkin firewire cable to connect it to my HP PC. The camcorder is detected OK by XP but as soon as I select capture, and click on the AVC Compliant DV Device icon from within WMM, I receive the following error message: "A problem was encountered while trying to connect to one of your capture devices" Have a logitech web-cam and a TV tuner and capture is OK from those. If I go into control panel, rt click on AVC Compliant DV Camcorder, and select properties then "test camera" it passes the diagnostic test OK. My machine also has InterVideo DVD creator pre-loaded onto it - and when I select the same driver with that, I can control the camera and capture video without any problems. Any ideas? TIA. Midge.

    - Unable to edit video after downloading Hi, We are using a Samsung digital camcorder (SC X105). We are having a problem editing the video. 1. Unable to capture from the camera 2. If downloaded to computer through USB, if imported to windows movie maker, video comes up with a green screen and if spliced, will play fine. But, if edited and spliced at the splice point, it will play a green screen with audio. We do not have a "fire cable". We have upgraded our RAM and are using what our IT guy said is "a pretty damn good video card". All of you guys seem very helpful and I hope you guys can help!

    - Movie Maker freezes after a few seconds We have been trying to use MM to download video from our Canon ZR200. When we first plug in our camera to the firewire, the computer recognizes the camera and MM starts just fine. We follow the on-screen instructions and when we start to capture the video, the camera rewinds and starts to capture, but freezes after about 5 seconds (the most we have ever got is 19 seconds). After this, the computer no longer recognizes the camera. We have tried to capture using Adobe Premiere with the same results. We have MM version 2.1 and Service Pack 2. System requirements are not the issue either. We have tried absolutely everything we can think of. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as this is becoming increasingly frustrating. Thanks.

    - Noise Slightly off topic, but a video question: I film with a Sony DCR-HC21. I noticed in a movie I made of a birthday party in a park that there's a great deal of background "hiss" in the audio...a constant low roar of sound. This is not a problem in making the movie in MM. It's sound that has been picked up by the camera's microphone. I don't use an external microphone; just the built-in microphone.
