DV capture freezes -Hotfix?-
When trying to capture video VIA firewire from my Sony
DCR-TRV230 to Movie Maker the video preview freezes after
several seconds and it stops capturing, even though the
camera rolls along as if it's still working. I've looked
at Papajohn's pages, tried a few things to no avail.
Here's the thing: MS has a "Hotfix" on this page:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-
US;830363
This is reportedly a "confirmed problem" for XP with SP1
and DirectX 9- my configuration. But I have an OEM
version of XP Home, so apparently they want to charge me
money for this "Hotfix." Is there any way to aquire the
hofix without shelling out more $$$ to MS? Any kind soul
out there already download it and willing to share?
Many thanks! Tag: Repackage MovieMaker 2 Tag: 9990
problem sending back to dv camera
I edited a video clip with sound the size of the file is
37 meg , I'm using a 8mm digital camera. when doing a 5
minute video clip it transfers it ok no problem but when
doing a 10 minute video clip it comes up saying it was not
successfully recorded into the tape. any ideas? Tag: Repackage MovieMaker 2 Tag: 9989
only audio, but no video in timeline playback
A few weeks ago I posted this:
Whenever I try to play the full timeline back in MM2, it
plays the sound but doesn't display the clips or titles.
(It won't even preview title text whilst I'm setting up a
title).
However, it will play both the sound and pictures for
individual clips from the collection before I place them
on timeline. The timeline only has a couple of very very
short clips, so there shouldn't be a length/size of clip
issue.
The same computer also still has MM1 on and will
successfully playback the timeline in that version.
and I received this reply:
If they are MPEG2 clips, it's probably a codec issue.
The clips I've tried are a WMV's but I've also tried
with avi files & still have same problem. Have installed
WMP9 for Windows XP, but still no joy.
Other ideas welcome! Tag: Repackage MovieMaker 2 Tag: 9988

I've dowloaded Movie Maker 2.0 to my PC but when
succesfully completed and I try to run the program it
states "Runtime Error! This application has requested to

I've also tried to go into add/remove programs to run a

Problem with the Windows Movie Maker 2
When I will add an effect to one of the imported movies (in Movie Maker 2) the program closes! Therefore I can't make a movie with effects and that's a big problem !! I hope you'll solve my problem as soon as possible.

I made a slide show with digital pics using Movie Maker and added several songs. It plays ok on the timeline and I saved it to a CD and to my computer. I played the CD using Media Player 9 and it works good for about 3/4 the show and then stalls on a pic but the songs keep playing. It does the same thing with the file I saved on the puter.

MM2 DVD menu system - is there such a thing?
Hi all,
I like the ease of use that MM2 provides, but the title system leaves a bit

Is there such a thing as a DVD menu system plug-in for MM2? It would be
nice to be able to click to different chapters on the disc.
Thanks for any info or answers.

Sound
I captured video to Window Movie Maker 2 and edited it, seemed OK. Then I
saved it as .wmv format. Again MyDVD Preview Mode all was OK, so I burnt it
onto a +DVD. However, on the finished DVD there is a specific sound sync
problem. It is OK for most of the project until you come to a title without
audio inserted into the "storyline". After the title, the video continues,
but the sound does not restart until 6 seconds into the video. For the rest
of the film the sound-track remains the same exact 6 seconds behind the
video.
This is only on the finished DVD. I have tried re-burning, but exactly the
same problem. Any ideas please? Thanks, Peter. Tag: Repackage MovieMaker 2 Tag: 9937

Which versions of Windows Media Player Can Play these files?
I've been experimenting with Windows Movie Maker and love
the end result. It was so easy to learn!
However, I'm having problems playing the movie file that
is created. It plays fine on my Windows XP machine at
the office, but when I try to play the file using the
Windows Media Player on the computers at home (one
Windows 2000, the other Windows XP), I get only audio,
and a black screen for video.
Does Windows Media Player create a new type of file that
only later versions of Windows Media Player can handle?
I'm wondering if I need to download and install a newer
version of Windows Media Player on these machines. Has
anyone else seen this?
Thanks,

De-Letterbox when converting?
I use WMM2 to make small movies to watch on the Pocket PC. I use the largest
set profile for PPC, 320x240 at 218 kbps, to convert MPEG movies to watch on
the PPC.
320x240 is not letterbox, however if the original movie is in letterbox
wide-screen format, the resulting picture is also in that format, with an
empty black stripe above and below the picture.
I don't mind watching letterbox on the television. The empty black stripes
don't bother me. However, on the PPC, the screen is so small, I would like
to have the picture fill the screen, and not have those black stripes above
and below the picture.
Is it possible during the encoding to WMV, to change the aspect ratio (no
cropping) so that the resulting video fills the 320x240 screen? Tag: Repackage MovieMaker 2 Tag: 9887
