    - 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 to be desired. 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: Saving in .avi format Tag: 9937

    - Test my movies please?! I have two tying demos on my Web site. Some of my users can only hear the audio and can't view the video. I'm not sure how to solve this problem. If any of you have time, can you go to the following Web site: http://www.3Senoritas.com and let me know if you can see the video. It seems pointless to keep the tying demos there if no one can see them! Too bad, such an easy way for people to learn Thanks a million Trina Tag: Saving in .avi format Tag: 9903

    - 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, DD Tag: Saving in .avi format Tag: 9898

    - Device disconnects I start a capture and it will run about 2 minutes and then the capture stops. I receive a message that the device has disconnected and as soon as I kill the message I get the popup that you normally get when you turn on the camera. It seems to be a pervasive problem because I get the same results in other capture software. I'm using 1394 connection to a Sony Mini DV. The 1394 port is onboard an Asus P4C800 motherboard.

    - 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: Saving in .avi format Tag: 9887

    - "Save Movie File" failed Using MovieMaker v2.0.3312.0 with Win XP Prof. I've used this program before on other systems but something appears to be corrupt because I am unable to save any size movie (even just a few second introduction). I've tried various quality levels and verified disk space (have over 120 GIG free space on drive), drive is formatted for NTFS. No matter what option I choose I get the message "Cannot Complete the Save Movie Wizard - Your movie was not saved successfully." Additional infomation displayed is "WMM cannot save the movie to the specified location. Verify that the orig. 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 again." I have verified everything, including admin rights (I am the admin.), free disk space, source files (even created a new movie with only a MM title created). I check the DLL files and reinstalled MM from Microsoft's website. I get the same message no matter what method I choose to save. I'm at a total loss now. Any advice or is there a log file created with each step within the wizard that may give me better details where the program is failing. Please help! Thank you. Tag: Saving in .avi format Tag: 9879

    - Help on dvd's Good day !! I have edited a wedding video (WMM2) and I have already saved the completed avi files in the PAL format . ( I live in Johannesburg, South Africa and we use the PAL system here) . I have also saved some mpeg2 files (also made using PAL format ) using auto muvee. The problem is that 3 out of the 5 DVD's which I'm producing are going to be sent to the USA. The dvds which I am using are DVD+R discs. Using SONIC MY DVD to write to the dvds ,,, I have had no problems making the standard PAL dvds. Now it seems that I have to re-save all the files ( about 6 different movies ) in the NTSC format,, and then use SONIC MY DVD to write them. This is going to be a lot of extra work. Is there any way that these discs (PAL) will play in any of your DVD players over there in the States ..?? Second question . I have been using a DVD+RW hp disc to record some other projects. My SONIC DVD ,, erases the disc first as required ,, and the disc works fine on the computer. However when playing it in my DVD player ,,, it says NO DISC ,,, and therefore doesn't play. I await your expert help ... Regards Harold Silber Johannesburg South Africa Tag: Saving in .avi format Tag: 9861

    - Can't import AVI Hello, For some reason, I can't import any AVI in WMM2. Capturing works well (I can open the AVI file in media player that is written to my hard disk) but Movie Maker hangs when trying to import it. So, I guess this isn't a codec problem. By the way, importing WMV-files works fine though. Another weird thing is that the preview windows remains empty when I am running the video from the timeline, while previewing from the collection works fine. Can anyone help me, please?

While WMP downloads the codec required is there any way to determine what codec is needed so that it can be added to the CD for use on a PC that does not have access to the internet.

    - Timecode prevents scene detection I captured a Hi-8 analog video by using the analog pass- through in a digital camcorder, creating an AVI file. Moviemaker imports the file but it will not automatically detect the scene changes. I'm pretty sure that the reason is that there are no breaks in the DV-generated timecodes. If the timecodes were not present, I think that MM would use the scene changes to create separate clips. Question: How can I get MM to ignore the timecode and use scene changes to generate clips? Or, how can I strip the timecode from the AVI file? Thanks, Bob Tag: Saving in .avi format Tag: 9839

I tried to use other programs and the format is not compatible with these programs when importing from the saved clips. Nothing works.

See the DVD Software section of www.papajohn.org to see what people are
using with Movie Maker. For the BEST one, start with what came with your DVD
burner.

MyDVD makes me feel like I'm still in MM2, so if you like it there, you
might consider the Sonic line.
