    - Movie Maker stopped importing any of my .gif files Just about my favorite program is Windows Movie Maker. I have been using it since its inception with no problems at all. It suddenly stopped importing any of my .gif files with an error message that "this file is corrupted, or has been moved' It takes all my other files including .jpg, but will no longer open any of my .gif files. My question is, If it remove the program and re-install it, will it be the same or work as it has been doing for all of these years. Thanking you in advance Tag: .ASF Read? Tag: 47684

    - Audio when saving to AVI-PAL O'K... so I've created a nice movie in WMM2 with its own soundtrack, start- and end titles, transitions and so on. Took me round a week to do. Now I would like to save it down to one of my hard discs as an .avi file (PAL system) and than burn a HQ DVD. The saving process goes smooth, about 20 minutes ( movie itself has about 35 minutes), no comunicate about error or anything. The final file has round 7GB but it does not matter. Quality is perfect .... but there is no sound at all!!! I tried to save as any other file like .wmv. No problemo! Video and sound are O'K (with the quality typical to that system of coding). So why no sound at .avi?!?!?!? The source files are in .avi, from digital camcorder via IEEE 1394 (FireWire) and are perfect. Help needed. I would be very greatefull as well as my frinds. The movie is from New year's Eve Thanks in advance Tag: .ASF Read? Tag: 47677

    - editing film clips I am new to recording and have a question. I recorded a video that is just a stationary shot of someone talking for a few minutes. One of the lights I was using is visible in the shot after I capture it to the computer (it was not visible on the viewing screen of the video camera). Is there any way to "crop" a clip? Or is there any type of effect you can use to eliminate the lights? Thanks you for any help you can provide. Toni Tag: .ASF Read? Tag: 47669

    - Audio problems when editing home videos Does not seem to matter wich movie editing software I use. The talking seems pingy and distorted. Gets worse as the person's talking voice get's louder. Like a digital static. Not very good with all the technical details. Is there a fairly simple way to solve this problem. The video camera I'm using is a Canon Elura digital recorder. When movies played back on the camera itself or tv the sound is great. Any help appreciated Thanks Tag: .ASF Read? Tag: 47657

    - Cant save movie and wondering about project files I am having trouble saving my project as a movie file (time remaining just goes up and up). I have a lot of RAM, a big hard drive, I adjusted the Virtual memory for paging files, I reduced the quality of the movie file to save, but nothing seems to work. I did remove project files which may be the problem (although I dont get a source file issue). I re-imported in the collections so that all the files would be there, but I'm not sure that did the trick. Can anyone help? THanks so much!! Tag: .ASF Read? Tag: 47655

    - Timeline won't show video When I import the video into WMM and preview it from the Collections tab they work just fine, but as soon as I put them in the timeline and try to watch them they stop working.

    - Audio and video out of sync I am trying to capture from a vcr using Pinacle's 500-USB device.

    - Importing Files w/wmm I captured analog video using the TV Tuner and WMM on my Dell XPS. I was able to watch the video during cature. It save the 30 mg file as a .wmv However, when I try to import the file MM displays an Importing FDiles box with two progress bars. Top bar is complete, bottom bar does not change.

    - WMM only saves part of the movie! I'm making a movie (or more of a slide show) that has several hundreds JPEGs in it. I'm up to about 15 minutes right now (at four seconds per picture generally). The movie plays fine in WMM itself but when I try to save it as an actual movie to my computer or to a CD it won't save the entire thing. I have plenty of hard drive space and I've tried it on a PC that has 512MG RAM AND 1GB RAM and the same thing happened. It says it saves okay but then when I play it in Media Player partway in the pictures stop rotating and the screen goes black and a couple minutes later the audio stops as well. Any ideas?

    - Hang upon Running WMM 2.1 When I open WMM 2.1, as soon as I click on something, the program hangs. It has been this way since I had to replace my hard drive. I have been to PapaJohn's WMM site and nothing posted there seemed to help. So I have come to believe that it is NOT a codec issue (at least not one of the 20 listed on PapaJohn's site) The only way I am able to get WMM 2.1 to run is to first remove the MEDIATAB*.DAT file in the folder C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Movie Maker. But this is absurd because the MEDIATAB*.DAT file contains all the data on the clips I had in the Collections folders, so upon removing this file, I have no clips to use and have to re-import them. But it is no guarantee that the program will not hang when I go to edit the clips. Even so, the next time I go to run WMM, it hangs, and I must once again remove the MEDIATAB*.DAT file if I wish to use the program. Is there anyone who can think of a permanent solution that allows me to keep the clips in the Collections folders? Because it defeats the purpose of getting the program to run if I have to remove the clips. It's like trading in the cart for a horse to pull it. Tag: .ASF Read? Tag: 47618

    - Problem capturing audio in Windows MovieMaker When I try to capture a video I can only get the video only and no audio. I have a vcr hooked up to a Dazzle DVC (Digital Video Creator) 90 video capture card and have the proper connections (video in going from vcr to Video In on capture card and both audio inputs right and left) and just can't get any sound. I also have Studio 9 QuickStart software from Pinnacle Systems in which I can hear the sound and see the video together.

    - Error Message when selecting Capture from video device I bought a Dazzle DVC 80 and installed on my PC running XP. I was able to capture the video but no sound. I tried all different types of connections and input sources with the exception of MICROPHONE. I highlight microphone because I noticed someone else had the same problem that I originally had and Microphone was the Input option I needed. Well I seemed to have answered my first problem but I have a bigger problem. While I was trying to figure out how to get sound. I noticed that in the "audio device" dropdown it had my sound card listed. I also noticed that in the drop down was the video capture device "DVC 80 16k Audio(2). So I selected that...That did not work either. Now when I start up Movie Maker and hit "capture from video device" I get an error message stating "No such interface supported". I'm pretty sure its from me changing the audio device from my soundcard to the capture device. Unfortunetaly I can't switch it back because everytime the error message comes up I have to hit "ok" and it closes down where you can change the audio options. Anyone have any suggestions on how to remedy my problem. Thanks in advance...Juhnny Tag: .ASF Read? Tag: 47605

    - Different Files... Different Players I've been working on a custom sized video inset for the main page of my website... replacing a thick horizontal black line with a custom video sized at 800x24 pixels... I started down the path of making it a movie... but then thought a story would be smaller and open quicker... my rule of thumb being that story files are only 10% the size of movies. This exercise is giving me some things to think about, and I'd appreciate any of your comments.... Here are 4 files... a Photo Story 3 file that is the smallest file size I can make it without taking too much of a quality hit, and then 3 movies made in MM2 from a high quality story (580K file size for a 7 second story). All are made by using custom profiles to make a video file of 800x24 pixel dimensions. http://www.papajohn.org/Newsletters/90-PhotoStory3.wmv - 202KB http://www.papajohn.org/Newsletters/90-MM2-V7.wmv - 76 KB http://www.papajohn.org/Newsletters/90-MM2-V8.wmv - 73 KB http://www.papajohn.org/Newsletters/90-MM2-V9-PoorQuality.wmv - 51 KB Here are the tradeoffs I'm seeing when viewing the website page on my computers...

The WMV V7 and V8 movie files look good on my Windows 98 and XP computers, but don't play on my Vista system. On Vista they download and sit there as a big black bar. The WMV V9 movie file plays on all of my systems, including Vista.... but the quality took such a nosedive that it's not suitable for use. At the moment, the website page is using the WMV-V8 movie file... I'm taking the hit with Vista and hoping it'll work on other systems. About viewing these files in players.... the PS3 story shows correctly proportioned in WMP10 and in Vista's WMP11.... the movies play distorted to standard 4:3 aspect ratio in WMP10 in XP, and look fine in WMP11 in Vista. I'd appreciate any and all feedback about.... - does the embedded WMV8 movie file on the main page of my website... http://www.papajohn.org ... play in your browser? what system and browser are they? - do the story and movie files play in your players? - do they play with the right aspect ratio, or are they mis-shaped to suit? -- 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: .ASF Read?

    - Exported movie is not interlaced Hello, I have just spent about 4 hours creating a movie with Windows Movie Maker, and overall I am very impressed. But now when I come to save the movie the resultant file is not interlaced any more. This occurs either exporting to DV-AVI or to WMV. I want to create a DVD to watch on a TV so I need interlaced output. Am I doing something wrong or it this a limitation of the program? My steps are easily reproduced 1) View imported DV-AVI file in a DirectShow application such as ZoomPlayer using FFDShow codec. Interlaced frames are visible 2) Generate simple Movie with WMM (one scene) and export to DV-AVI. 3) View exported file with same application. Interlaced frames have been blended. Any suggestions welcome. Otherwise I am going to have to redo the entire editing process in a different application. Anthony Tag: .ASF Read? Tag: 47544

Movie Maker doesn't support ASF files. You need to convert them to AVI.
There are many programs that will do the trick, check out this site:

Personally I use AVS Converter: www.avsmedia.com
