    - movie is freezing up during playback Hi There, I'm having a problem with playback after rendering the movie. The video portion stalls however, the audio still plays and will play all the way through to the end of the movie. I have gone back into the movie project and if I move the picture frame that the video hangs up on and rerender the movie the movie will then play through but, stall on a different frame. I have tried different file sizes and types of movie styles to save the movie in and it continues to happen on a different frame each time. Also it if you replay the movies each time it will freeze on the same frame as it did the first time so it seems to be something to do with the picture or the transition effect. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Q Tag: Photostory3/MM2 does not play. Tag: 51129

    - Problems Importing Some Files I have problems importing wmv. files to the Movie Maker Software. I don't understand what the problem is because it imported another file rather quickly but there is this one file that will import all the way up to 98% and stop...then movie maker freezes. I have to do a "manual" exit and of course the work is not saved. Another file would not even upload to 10% and then it hangs. How can this issue be resolved?! I'm kind of running out of time here.

    - First Time, Whatcha Think? I've been wanting to use MM2 for more than editing out commercials, but I don't have any videos to edit and create with. So I decided to come up with something goofy for my nephew and give me some video to edit. Here's the link, it's only about 90 seconds: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-207172509616826157 Keep in mind that I used a Samsung camera that is for taking stills, but also does video. And in the LCD display on the cam, he didn't look that far away in the last couple shots. Thanks in advance for any advice, tips or comments y'all might give.

    - Does Windows Media Player play DVDs or .avi?? I was wondering what brand media Player can my family use to see on their PC, movies I will send to them ?? I assume they will use a DVD player for the TV. I am using Windows Movie Maker to collect the clips then using Nero to convert to DVD keeping the .avi format. I am unable to view my own DVD on Windows Movie Maker. To view them I can only use Nero or ATI file Player, the latter with grinding gear background noises. Is this how it is?? Thank you.

    - Since auto update installed CD Max, files won't save ... :>( MM 2.0.3312.0 Windows XP Pro 2002, SP2 Pentium 4 / 3-GHz 512 MB RAM 40-GB available HDD I've used MM for some time, on files up to 100 MB, without problems, until Windows auto update installed the CD Max patch. Since then, any file over 5 MB goes into an infinite wait when saving to computer. The panel displays a hard drive file definition to save into, but a top line message says, e.g., ... preparing to save file to CD ROM - 9743286 estimated mins to save. I uninstalled the CD MAX application in Control Panel / Add-Remove ..., which completed normally per messages. After a reboot, the CD-Max logo still appeared in the Save Movie panel, and the preceding CD-RoM save message still appears in MM. Any assistance appreciated. I'm in the process of converting family movies for our children, and want to finish before the family reunion in August. If MM can't be fixed in a timely manner, what other commercial software package would do the trick, to enable me to finish. I'm AV-challenged, so simple apps are good ... :>) Thanks ...

    - Capturing Camera tapes I am capturing tapes from my Sony Digital 8 camcorder on to my PC, but notice that I have two choices. Top capture them as .avi or wmv files. I intend to edit this footage and save as avi and burn on to DVD's with Nero. Of course the .avi files take up a lot of hard drive space, and I was wondering if just capturing wmv files for the editing would afford the same quality.

    - Problem Saving AVI I have read and followed almost all of the recommendations at Papa John's wonderful site. However, I am having some problems saving a movie as an AVI. Since I can save a 45 minute video downloaded from my DV camera, the problem is not memory or unregistered DLLs. The movie I'm trying to save is 14 minutes. All of the source files are present and accounted for. They were all moved into a single folder and then copied to several computers for testing. All computers exhibit the same problem. If I delete everything but a single AVI file and a title, the movie will not save. If I delete the AVI source file, the title will save as an AVI movie. The present movie, as edited, saves has a High Quality NTSC with no problem. The movie plays perfectly in WMM. The only problem is that it will not save as an AVI. Is it possible that there is something unusual about the encoding of the (uncompressed) AVI file? I'm presently using AVS File Converter to convert from AVI to AVI, thinking that something is not up to spec. Before I waste any MORE hours chasing the problem, I thought I would ask here. Assuming that I do not get this problem solved, what is the next best format to AVI? NTSC High Quality WMV? The ultimate destination is a DVD. The movie is my daughter's school project, so there is a hard deadline. Thanks! Tag: Photostory3/MM2 does not play. Tag: 50981

I have emailed a Photostory3 to a friend. The file would open, but not play.
The error message indicated that it needed a codec to operate.I then
rendered it to MM2 and it played properly. The specifications for his PC are:
Dell Dimension DIM2400 Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU2.40GHz 2.39GHz,
256MB of RAM. Windows XP. (My PS3 has played well for all other
recipients.) Are there any explanations? Thanks.
