    - Follow up ? to the Bleep ? Sorry, but I forgot to ask if there is also a way to pixelate the mouth area during the bleep part. I realize MM2 is basically a no frills free video editer, so if I downloaded something more substantial, how do I integrate it into MM2 short of doing each clip on the nicer editer then importing back into MM2?

    - Best way to save? As a matter of opion (as I'm sure I'll get several opinions). What is the best format to save my finished movies for qualitys sake. I thought it was AV/DVI, but I can't seem to use my Nero to burn the AV/DVI files without having to convert them back to mpeg, which kind makes the whole AV/DVI save kinda moot. Thanks, Raoul Tag: Noise Tag: 46381

    - DVD Burner? Hello, first I appologize for being in the wrong place. Please excuse me. I feel I can depend on you for answers. :) I viewed a site which offered a DownLoad to turn my PC into a DVD Player/Burner. I have a regular CD Player on my Laptop and use Windows 98. Is it even 'possible' to get this type of download, beable to watch, Burn and make my own DVD's without adding hardware? Does MicroSoft have a download like this? Other reliable site's? My sincere Thanks for your answers. -- Thanks for helping. Tag: Noise Tag: 46374

    - Im confused about quality Hello, I am trying to make a movie of my family, i import the video from my DV camcorder w/ a fire wire cable. Everything looks good. And I added a Mp3 to the video for some music. Everything looks and sounds fine. Then when I choose save to my computer under High Quality video large, and I watch the video and sounds really bad. What is the best way to save the file? and should I use WAV. instead of MP3? Also, I have a tv with a 16:9, so should I create the file with that ratio, or would it compromise the quality? Im just so confused as to why my quality is so horrible after I save it. And Im afraid if it looks that back during playback on my computer wont it look even worse stretched to the size of my tv?

    - Saved MM movie plays up to a point I'm trying to save a MM movie to the computer but when it's done and I try to play it the movie stalls out at a certain point. The project has about 400 pictures (runtime should be about 50 minutes) and a couple of audio files. I've already tryed to burn it to a DVD but that errors out...I suspect by whatever is causing the above problem. Any thoughts? Is there a limit to the number of pix you can have in a project.

    - clips in collections Hi, In the old movie maker when I imported clips into the collections they showed as thumbnails on the collections screen. Now when I import clips into MM2 each clip is in its own collection folder so I have to click on each folder to see the thumbnail and drag to the timeline. How do I change it back to the old way? It was so much easier to work with the clips when I could see thumbnails all on one page to pick and choose. Any ideas? Thanks in advance for your help Tag: Noise Tag: 46334

    - Problems saving DV-AVI file I am running into some trouble saving a file as a DV-AVI. I imported about 10 minutes of video from my video camera and saved as an AVI. I took one small clip (13 seconds) from about the middle, and Drag to the timeline. I did a save movie and saved to wmv format (best quality for playback on my PC) This took about 3 minutes and generated the desired output. Then I went back to the same project and did a Save As to DV-AVI format. The % complete meter jumped up to 99% and stayed there for about 15-20 minutes, then finally finished (CPU utilization also went to 100% and stayed there -- this seems like a good thing, it means it is working). When I played back the AVI file, it contained the clip I requested (audio and video), PLUS all the clips which came after it in the original file WITHOUT AUDIO. I have successfully created two other DV-AVI projects without this problem. But this was an expiriment to find out what is wrong with my current project. I am having lots of trouble getting all my clips put together into a single video, and did this as a test. I have had to stop WMM and reboot several times over the past day or two, and it seems to me that a temp file or working directory or something as been messed up. I have tried going back to the beginning of the project (delete all avi, wmv, mswmm files and recapture the video again from the source), but this does not help. Every AVI file I create now has basically the same symptoms with the desired video at the beginning, then more video tacked onto the end w/o the audio. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Is it possible to remove / re-install WMM? Would that help? Also, why does the % complete jump to 99, then hang out there for such a long time? Thanks so much. Tag: Noise Tag: 46331

    - More Robust Program WMM is great for the price, but it is a very limited program and, as Papa John's web site clearly shows, is prone to crashes. So, I post to ask what video editing program would WMM users recommend that is not so expensive or hard to learn? Tag: Noise Tag: 46322

    - Convert an AVI File to another AVI File If an AVI file doesn't work as a source file in Movie Maker, you often need to convert it to another AVI file that does work.... that's often a confusing point... what codec works? I recently did another wave of tests to check which of the compression codecs made AVI source files that go into the collection, to the timeline, and render OK to a Movie Maker movie... There are 14 compression choices that work on my laptop.... some render much faster than others... some result in much higher file sizes, but they all work. I added a couple charts to the Importing Source Files > Video > AVI page of my website to show you the list, and how they differ in rendering speed and file size... -- PapaJohn Movie Maker 2 and Photo Story 3 website - http://www.papajohn.org MM2 Tips and Tricks: http://www.simplydv.co.uk/simplyBB/viewtopic.php?t=4693 Online Newsletters: http://www.windowsmoviemakers.net/PapaJohn/Index.aspx Tag: Noise Tag: 46311

    - Can't play movie - help please! I have a brand new hp computer that included Movie Maker. I composed a movie on Movie Maker with clips and video from my hp digital camera along with a song downloaded from a CD. I burned everything to a CD and tried to play it in my DVD player (which plays other CD's previously composed on Roxio with pictures and video) and it won't play. It says there is no disc in the player. I tried it on another DVD player - still says - NO DISC. So, I burned my movie onto a blank DVD disc and the same thing happens. I can see that it is burned on the discs but I can't play it. I have also been getting kicked out of Movie Maker when I am using it. Tag: Noise Tag: 46304

    - No audio at capture I have a Sony TRV-33E miniDV, when using Sony packaged software for capturing on USB, audio works OK. When using WMM or Roxio for capture, video is OK but no audio. WMM and Roxio play back video and audio from files captured with Sony software OK. Could capture everything with Sony and then use other programs but it's nice for things to work properly with each program. It's as if Sony driver has taken over USB audio in.

    - Picture quality terrible - Is it my hardware? Hi, I use a Panasonic DV NV DS65. When I record and playback on the camera or linked up to the TV the picture quality is perfect but when I use Windows Movie Maker to capture the video the quality of the picture is very jerky and pixalated. I use a Compaq Laptop with AMD Athlon 2400 chip with 500+ mb RAM. A salesboy at Camera House said I need a Firewire card. I don't think so. A salesman at Dick Smith Electronics said I need a better program than Movie Maker. I'm not confident these gys know what they're talking about. Personally, I think its because my laptop doesn't have a dedicated graphics card. I've tried capturing it on different screen sizes etc but it doesn't get much better. Anyone know the answer?

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.

Any suggestions for minimizing this when taking the pictures?

if it's wind noise, you need to muffle the mic with something to minimize it

if it's picking up noises from the camcorder itself, then an external mic to
get the capture further from it...
