    - John Kelly? How do you legally host / post videos that contain material with copy rights; movie clips, songs, etc? E.g., clips from James Bond movies, songs from 'Rush', etc? And, maybe it's just a coincidence, but after asking you this question in another thread it seems like I can no longer access your site. could you explain that as well? This was was in another thread, may be of intrest: Thanks for your comprehensive responses. I now have a better idea where the line is drawn. Perhaps there are a few experts out there that can give us some more information as to how they've secured the rights to post clips which contain copy written songs or clips from movies on the Internet, to be view publicly. After all, all material gained from other sources should be duly acknowledged and if copy rights exist they should be respected. No value is obtained by publishing in any format other peoples work without securing right to do so. "J.

    - Video will not play in preview window I imported a video clip into WMM. A thumbnail of the video does not appear in the icon for that clip. When I play the clip, the audio plays just fine but the screen remains black. If I drag-n-drop the clip into the timeline, only the audio appears there. Furthermore, in the menu bar on the left side of the screen, if I click on Import Video, WMM freezes; this does not happen if I click on Import Audio or Pictures. The only way I can even bring in a video clip is via the File menu. I'm using Win XP on a Sony Vaio PC; this is WMM v.2.1. I've had this PC for a little over a year, and never had a problem with WMM before. Tag: Sony DCR-TRV520 and I.link/DV Tag: 32059

    - Is it possible to batch save a bunch of movies? I have edited a bunch of movies. Since saving takes awhile it's rather inefficient to edit, save, edit, save, etc. I'd rather edit a bunch and then batch the saves so that that time consuming operation can occur when I'm asleep or at work. Is this possible and if so, how? Thanks, Tag: Sony DCR-TRV520 and I.link/DV Tag: 32057

    - Can't get to play DVD on standalone player Once project is completed in wmm, what is best way to burn? If I open Nero and Add Video Files, the burning process takes 4 hours for a 40 minute video. If you open project in wmm, and right click on the media file, you can send to sonic which burns the DVD in 2 minutes! Why the difference? Saving the file as DV AVI makes the file 8.28 GB which won't fit on the disk. Saving it as High Quality Video makes the file 471 MB which burns fine. Either way, the disks will not play on a standalone player. When I transferred video from camcorder into wmm and let the defaults save the program as it wanted, it played on the standalone player but the quality was poor as the resolution was low. -- Garyd Tag: Sony DCR-TRV520 and I.link/DV Tag: 32052

    - Problem getting finished video back to DV camera Hi all, I'm using MM2 on Win XP with SP2 Had no problem capture video with Firewire from my Canon ZR45 MC. Was able to edit, add music, etc. Was able to make an AVI and/or wmv. BUT, when I try to do File, Save Movie File and pick DV camera it doesn't work right. It records it back to the camera but the results are weird as follows: - 3 minute video ends up being 10 minutes on the DV tape - Video constantly cuts in and out (1 sec on 2 off or thereabouts) - The sounds doesn't really come through except in bits and pieces - Not sure if it is significant, but when I play back the original recorded video the screen says "12 bit", but when I try to play back the junk I get from uploading from MM2 it says "16 bit". I don't think it is my hardware. I have an Athlon XP 2200+ (1600 mhz) system with 768 MB ram. And again I had no problem capturing from the camera in the first place. Any thoughts or troubleshooting advice? Thanks, Peter Tag: Sony DCR-TRV520 and I.link/DV Tag: 32030

Use the link on the main page of my website to get to the TM2 download page. The default installation will be to a different folder than version 1, and you can run both versions on your computer. Your TM2 project files are fully compatible with both versions.

    - removing and replacing scenes ,, keeping original sound track Good Day Need some urgent help please. I am busy editing a video (shot on 2 different dv cameras). I have started with the main camera (45 minutes) , and I have also put the second camera's footage on the time-line. I have dragged the video on to the music line ,, in order to be able to cut out scenes from first camera and replace with scenes from another camera ,, thereby keeping the original sound. I am having major problems in trying to replace exactly the same amount . For example I have removed a scene of 3:14 (3 seconds, 14) . On the other footage the closest I can get is 3:12. I have tried for hours. No matter what it is always .2 of a second out . In order to have the sound synchronized ,, I have to take out and replace exactly the same amount of video .. On the one the scene starts at 5:33.12 and end at 5:36:26 yet on the other it ends on 5:36:24 etc etc Awaiting your expert comments please ...

At the moment, I'm getting both the music and the wind noise from the camera, which isn't quite what I intended. -- "The road to Paradise is through Intercourse."

    - Title positioning Does anybody know a possibility to position the titles (on the lower part or in corners of the screen)? Tag: Sony DCR-TRV520 and I.link/DV Tag: 31937

    - chopping a bit off the end of a video If I recorded a .wmv using MM2.1 and then imported that file back into MM2.1 and split off the last minute of the video and saved the result using exactly the same video profile. Am I right in assuming that there would be no loss of quality whatsoever because the program would be intelligent enough to spot that it's simply doing a trim operation and doesn't need to re-encode (and degrade the quality further) ? I'm tempted to think this isn't the case because doing this operation can take 20 minutes on a 30 minute video recorded (and being re-saved) at 500kbps. If it was being intelligent it would simply figure out where to truncate the file. ~dd Tag: Sony DCR-TRV520 and I.link/DV Tag: 31928

    - wmv versions produced? Hi, I've been recording shows using MovieMaker for a couple of years. The last few months using version 2.1 of MM and previously version 2.0. Before that I used Windows Media Encoder 7 and then 8. I'm now looking at getting a portable media center and need to know the exact version of the files I've made. I don't know if they're wmv7, 8, 9 or 10. Am I right in assuming the following: WME7 makes wmv7 WME8 makes wmv8 MM2.0 makes wmv9 MM2.1 makes wmv10 That info will help me in my buying choice... thanks... ~dd Tag: Sony DCR-TRV520 and I.link/DV Tag: 31927

    - Recording my project problems I need help also! I've only been using MovieMaker a short while, but seemed to have a good idea what was going on. I made a few movies from pictures that I uploaded from my pc and turned into movies with music. However, now I am using the same photos and same music but am unable to record to CD. The project records the first 2/3 of the movie just fine, but during the last 1/3 of the movie the screen goes black with no pictures. The music continues to play just no pictures. It plays fine when re-playing in MovieMaker, it just won't record. I've changed brands of CDs but am incurring the same issues. Any suggestions? Jan Tag: Sony DCR-TRV520 and I.link/DV Tag: 31925

    - Problems saving to CD I need help also! I've only been using MovieMaker a short while, but seemed to have a handle on it when making the first couple of movies. I have uploaded my own pictures into the collection. However, now, when I record onto CD the last third of the pictures aren't recording. The first of the video is great, then suddenly the screen goes black. The music continues to play, but no video. The movie plays fine while in MovieMaker, but it won't record onto CD. Any suggestions? Jan Tag: Sony DCR-TRV520 and I.link/DV Tag: 31924

    - saving to CD Help please. I am trying to save my project and it keeps telling me "WMM can not save to location. Verify the original source files used in movie are available, and the saving location is still available" What does this mean? I am trying to save on a CD and then later transfer to a DVD program. Any help would be greatly appreciated Holly Tag: Sony DCR-TRV520 and I.link/DV Tag: 31909

    - frequent crashing Frequently when using Windows Movie Maker I get the message "Windows Movie Maker has encountered a problem and needs to close." I think reinstalling may be the solution, but I don't know how to do that since it's automatically downloaded with SP2. Any ideas how to correct this problem? Tag: Sony DCR-TRV520 and I.link/DV Tag: 31908

Any one have experience with this camera using it as a video capture source?
I swear I had it working at one time, quite some time ago, but now
MovieMaker says there is no device connected.

I have gone round and round on this and am now at my wits end. Any help here
woould be most appreciated.

More info:: I am using a 4 to 4 pin FireWire cable to connect to a fully
patched XP Home machine.

The problem as described to me is this; Sony firmware was not quite u
to snuff with the Firewire1394 standard, but worked with SP1 becaus
the OS drivers in SP1 for Firewire were loosley written also. Alon
came SP2 which is supposed to adhere tighter to the 1394 standards
(this includes pci Firewire cards and onboard Firewire.
So the story goes; Sony blames Microsoft, Microsoft blames Sony, an
you end user, are the victim.
Firewire Standards were first started in 1986;
'Firewire Standards started in 1986
(http://standards.ieee.org/micro/1394overview.html)
It just seems uncanny to me that in 19 years of development, no one ca
get it right yet.
As for your solution; one is to roll back to SP1 drivers.
Best,
Treema
