    - Won't accept .jpg images I tried importing a severa jpg photos into the timeline that are saved on a floppy. They went into the timeline fine, but when I took the floppy out, all images turned to X's as did the image file names in the Collections area. Does WMM not allow jpg images.?

    - Movie Maker Crashes Hi there, Does Movie Maker crash on you unexpectedly? Your problem may be caused by a codec that Movie Maker does not like. This a very common issue. Your one-stop-don't-need-to-look-anywhere-else Solution is with a program called "Rename Codecs". Instead of reading miles of dross that is full of maybe's and perhaps's just run the program, it takes a few moments to identify all of the known codecs that cause this problem and gives you the opportunity of renaming them, or, you can now use the new Auto feature in version 1.5 and let the program take care of virtually everything to do with this problem You can then run Movie Maker and immediately determine if it actually was a codec issue. If it was a codec issue Movie Maker will now run properly. If it was not the issue, you have lost nothing more than a short amount of time. Whether or not it was a codec issue you must run the program once more and restore the problem codecs to their original names. The two procedures together can take less time than it did to read this message and a whole lot less than reading mountains of bumph that may or may not apply to you. The program "Rename Codecs" is free and available from my website. While there it would be a good idea to check out the tutorial on how to run the program...that will take around one minute of your time!!!

    - Audio plays choppy in edit mode but not after final creation. I am piecing together many video files and using an mp3 audio track for the background music. When I play the video in movie maker 2 in editing mode after about 20 seconds it plays really choppy and gets worse and worse. If I export the video to wmv for the most part it plays fine but might have one or two chop spots. So far I have tried all critical windows updates, and all optional updates relating to movie maker 2 including direct-x. I have tried updating the system drivers for video and audio and tried a new sound card that worked fine with the same video files and audio file on another computer without this problem. The computer is a 2 GHZ p4 with 256mb ram, the computer that the same exact files worked fine with is an 800mhz celeron with 256mb ram. Both computers are running windows xp. I have tried disabling all background processes not necessary to run XP with as well. Tag: Recording back to DV Camcorder Tag: 18557

    - I have lost all my panes and video control and screen ??? Absolutley stressed out of my mind, spent all bank holiday week end trying to work out what is happening !!! Everything was fine until I upgraded XP from Home edition to Professional ...then the fun started .......after not being able to install most items I had before I undertook a complete format using the XP disk to perform it .........I then installed my other hardware etc on top .......... Then I found that Movie maker had changed ? I now do not have /cannot find my movie task pane i.e Capture video/ edit movie/ finish movie/ movie making tips . ? where have they gone ? top right of movie maker I used to have up one level in collection tree, create new collection view clips in collection by thumbnails or details ?? Thumbnails now appears over the collection window nearer to the left ? . What is really worrying is that although everything works except the items missing if I connect my video camera to record another screen comes up with a screen on it and allows me to take control of the camera ( play , record , stop etc ) But hey, that should happening in moviemaker ?? so where has that screen come from ?? I can save the movie to either movie maker or my videos but to undertake further recording I have to turn the video camera on and off ..... I have turned to my recent book purchase Movie maker 2 and it has just hit me right now that I am using version 1.1.2427.1 and the book is movie maker 2 so I will endeavour to get version two and see what is the difference Lastly when I go to the help file on movie maker I get .....the procedure entry point GETIUMS could not be located in the dynamic link library MSDART.DLL ? what does that mean If I press it three times I do get access to the help files Finally A card with three ports came with my Canon video camera ( why three way ) anyway I have had to take this out to install XP Pro and have connected it to the existing firewire port of the pc ....is this ok or am I likely to suffer later ? The machine I am using is COMPAQ Presario, 55500UK AMD athelon XP3000 = 2.17 Ghz 512mb DDR 120g/byte h drive ATI radeaon 9200 ( graphics card? ) 128mb video ram Now is this enough to keep movie maker happy or would it require extra RAM ( or any other suggestions) if I am to continue with movie maker so that I can grow into it so to speak rather than having a minimum so to speak Can you give me some re assurance that I am on the right track or should I put the lot through the window now before it all drives me really crazy ???? Thanks for reading anyway , this has allowed me to get my frustrations in the open I will up date you if I succeed , but if you can email me any help direct it would be appreciated regards Paul Quovadistamworth@aol.com Tag: Recording back to DV Camcorder Tag: 18549

    - How to playback on a DVD player Thanks papajohn. I finally did get my project burned to CD. Now I am wondering how I can get it to playback on a normal DVD player. If I am correct, a CD with images would still playback on a DVD player right? Does it have to be saved to a DVDR to playback on a DVD player or can I just use CDRs. I already tried using a CDR, but when I put it in my DVD player I it read: NO DISC. Is this just the fact that it needs to be on a DVDR or does there need to be some type of conversion program so it plays on home DVD players?

    - Difficlty Saving As Movie File. Hello everyone! I am experiencing a difficulty with my movie maker! I really need some assistance, please!! I created a slieshow with photos and audio. In the preview looks fantastic! But. I've saved the project as movie1.MSWMM on my computer but I can't save my project as a movie file to my computer, or burn on CD or send via E-mail or any other options... Anyway, I got this message saying "Cannot Complete the Save Movie Wizard, Your movie was not saved successfully" and â??Windows Movie Maker cannot save the movie to the specified location. Verify that the original source files used in your movie are still available, that the saving location is still available, and that there is enough free disk space available, and then try againâ?? Now I'd like to know why movie maker can't save the files as movie but only to MSWMM? I've tried everything. All my files are there, it just doesn't make any cents I tested, i made another two, and few of really short ones, and still doesn't work Do I maybe need to reinstall my movie maker? Or what do you thing it is? Thanks guys! PS. PapaJohn! I've visited your site, it's got everything and it's pretty good.

    - Analog capture and conversion..... Bought a Pinnacle Studio 8 product for analog capture from both VCR and Analog Camcorder. Did a LOUSY job from the very start. Pinnacle doesn't tell you that you need to buy a separate sound card to capture the audio, as thier software does not use the resident audio inputs from most computers (I've tried 2 different machines) so that was an ordeal Yesterday, successfully captured (with Pinnacle) a VCR tape. Used WMM to "convert" the file. Took HOURS (on a brand new high end machine). Video came out choppy and lousy. So.... Now I guess I'm gonna try capturing from VCR to my digital camcorder and try it that way. WMM SHOULD allow for capture through someone else's capture card OR.. Pinnacle should make the captured file into something that other programs can use and use and recognize. It doesn't. It makes a proprietary file type that only Pinnacle can recognize (and consequently burn to DVD) but that didn't work either. Got an "error" when trying to get Pinnacle to burn the DVD.... oh well I'm starting to think that maybe I should buy one of those new VCR/DVD burner combos and the heck with all this wasted time and effort. Bought so much hardware and spent SO much time that now I feel COMPELLED to try to do it.... : Sorry about the rant Steve Tag: Recording back to DV Camcorder Tag: 18473

If you can successfully save your movie to your HD as a
DV-AVI file, you should be able to transfer back to your
DV camcorder. I prefer WinDV, a free software download
that will transfer a DV-AVI file to your DV camcorder.
The link is: http://windv.mourek.cz. You can also check
out PapaJohn's website (refered to many times on this
newsgroup) that has a lot of useful information as well.
