    - No audio on DV-AVI output Saving files as DV-AVI goes down without a hitch, but when I play it in media player 10, it looks for a codec, says error downloading, and then just plays the video, no audio. I tried opening the file in various other editor applications and also GSpot and either they give an error or dont work. Just to be funny I opened it in Quicktime Player and it worked, FINE. Go figure. In mmk2, the source file is AVI, the source audio is wav. Tag: Please HELP ME!! Beginner here Tag: 29274

    - Sony: Capturing video via firewire is dark I have a Sony TRV38 and can capture video with the firewire , s-video + audio or the analog audio / video. (I have the Nvida and Sony and WinFast Capure drivers. I can capture s-video / composite with Nvida or Winfast and only DV with Sony) Thinking the firewire (DV output ?) would be better I was suprised to find out it was dark compared to using s-video or analog. In fact I would say my results were better not using DV Capture, but S-Video in making movies. Does this seem strange? Thoughts on what I might have not done right? Thanks Tag: Please HELP ME!!

    - Movie played on DVD player for TV is choppy I have a Sony Handycam TRV22 and saved the video to my computer using a USB. When watching the video it was beautiful. Then I used my Roxio Easy Media Creator 7 to make a DVD movie gift with photos and the video. The photo part was beautiful, but the video was awful, blocky, choppy, etc. I had that program adjust it for TV DVD viewing but something didn't work. Is there a way to record a DVD for TV in the Movie Maker 2? (I am brand new to all this technology and need some guidance of where to go, etc.) Thank you for any and all help!

    - Movie Maker not Reading my Camera i'm using a canon ZR50mc camcorder and a dell running XP. i've installed a fire wire card and have sucessfully used it to capture video from my camera. within the last couple days, something changed and now the computer does one of two things. it either does not recognize the device at all or it does for a couple minutes and then goes back to not recognizing it. this problem first happened about two or three months ago. everything was fine.... the computer and camera were talking, then one day i get error message saying that no device is connected. it connects and shows the camera and then five minutes later, the connection dissapears. so i quit for a couple weeks out of frustration and buy another fire wire. after replacing the fire wire i am able to connect again with no problems. that lasts for a couple weeks and just recently i'm back to the same problems. it seems to coincide with my installing updates. any help will be greatly appreciated.

    - capture problem I just got a new JVC digital camcorder and when I try to capture video with Movie maker, i get an error message that says something along the lines of "too many interfaces..to fire" or something like that, and I am unable to capture video directly from the camera. I am using USB connection since I don't have a Firewire option, yet. I can capture the video using the Imagemixer software that came with the camer, but it is not real convient to use for editing, in my opinion. I would like to be able to skip that step and just capture straight to MS Movie Maker rather than to imagemixer then transfer to movie maker. Any suggestions? Tag: Please HELP ME!!

    - Video saves as .AVI in 99% of the elapsed storyboard time I have created a movie with MSWMM 5.1 on a Pentium 4, 3.2 GHz with an essentially empty hard drive and 2 GB or RAM. I have been saving as DV/AVI (NTSC). I had the problem of audio skips, so I saved the Audio/Music track separately as a .WAV file, and then saved the Video/Transition/Title Overlay tracks separately (for eventual merger). The Audio/Music track saved on the exact same timeline as in MSWMM, to the second. The video tracks save to a file that is only 99% as long as the storyboard in MSWMM (i.e. in MSWMM the video was 30:07 min on the storyboard, but the resultant .AVI file is only 29:48 min, or 99% of the original timeline). It is therefore impossible to subsequently synch the audio and video. I'm at a loss, please help. I think this may be what is causing the audio skips people have been complaining about.

    - MM2 and dark image in observer window The camera is a JVC GR DVL 805 Digital movie camera. It came with a cable that fits into the camera on 1 end and the other fits into the computer, a fairly recently built one. It is USB and the other is Firewire. The thing I noticed though, is that the monitor window in MM2 shows the images taken at night very dark, almost black, whereas on the monitor window of the camera they were fine. Is that attributable to MM2? The images look very normal, considering it was taken at night, in the viewfinder and camera flip-out screen. What might be the problem?
