    - Scene Detection? Basically I dumped a bunch of old 8mm tapes to DV via a D8 cam with Firewire. Is there some sort of filter I can run it through to detect all the scened? I tried checking that little checkbox when I imported the clip but it kept it as one giant two hour long scene. Which I expected. Tag: No Sound When Capturing from VCR Tag: 64812

    - DVI filed sized compressed to DVD? I am transferring video from my camcorder to my computer...for the first time. And then transferring the video to a DVD. I assume that for the highest quality, I should transfer from the camcorder in a DVI file. However, this file will end up being 12+GB and it's under an hour of footage. My DVD capacity is only 4.7GB. What is the best file format to burn this on to a DVD? Is there some kind of compression that happens when I transfer the 12+GB file on to a DVD or do I really have to burn 3 DVDs? Any advice would be most appreciated! Thanks! Tag: No Sound When Capturing from VCR Tag: 64784

    - My saved wmv movie stops playing after few minutes but music conti I successfully saved my project as a wmv file to my hardrive but it won't play. It playes for about 7 minutes and then the slideshow stops but the music continues. I've tried to save it over several times but the problem persists. Each time I saved it, it stoped playing after only a few minutes. The whole movie is a combination of still images and short avi files with some mp3 files and is 35 mins long. It saved fine but for some reason Windows media player won't play the entire movie. Anyone knows what the problem is and how to resolve it? So much time and work went into this and no movie....

    - DVD works on Laptops & partly on DVD Player or PS2 I burned my first MM DVD w/ Power Point pic with backgrounds and no transitions. I changed it to JPEG and attached music and home movie clips. I saved the movie file as DV-AVI(NTSC). I burned on a DVD+R and DVD-R both 16x speed. I used Nero7 to burn and chose the highest quality. I also tried having it choose auto. I have burned 3 DVD's. They were all perfect before burning. They are perfect played on DVD players on our XP laptops. They play great on a DVD player on TV and PS2 until around the 90th slide then the music warps in mid song and the slide stalls. After a few more slides it plays fine again and then it warps and stalls again then plays again fine through the movie clips. On PS2 it does all the above with the exception of the music stops and starts. I'm brain fried!! Tag: No Sound When Capturing from VCR Tag: 64759

    - Audio out of sync on final movie only I created a movie consisting of pictures and video. The video clips are of varying resolutions and file formats. Most of the video has audio tracks. I added a sound track to the video using the Audio/Music track. When editing and viewing the movie within Movie Maker, the video images sync up with the lyrics in the music track exactly as I set them. All is well here. Then I create the movie file. The video images are now showing later than expected. In other words, the lyrics are earlier than the associated image. When I go back to the movie project, it runs exactly like I originally set it. Any ideas to help me out here? Tag: No Sound When Capturing from VCR Tag: 64756

    - titles and credits in Vista Ihave imported an avi file into Movie Maker in Vista and after editing the video into several smaller segments, i decided i would add a subtitle to some of the segments. This previewed fine and as you would expect, with the text apearing over the top of the moving image. When i went to publish the final video to my computer, i found that the subtitles appear against a green background that takes up half the hight of the screen, the video being squashed to fit in the remaining half. Any ideas why this happened and how i can fix it? Thanks in advance Tag: No Sound When Capturing from VCR Tag: 64751

    - anyone having problems when using VBR MP3s? I have WMM 2.1.4026.0 Seems like every time I render a video file that I used a VBR MP3 in there is "dead air" at the end of the video file. I am mainly making simple videos for youtube, they consist of an Image and the song, nothing fancy. I keep having to re-encode my VBR MP3s to CBR to get an accurate mp3 "length" in WMM. For example the song is 4 minutes, but for some reason when imported into WMM it thinks it's 6 minutes and I end up with "dead air" at the end of the rendered file. I tried searching the net and surprisingly no one else has this problem. My passport email has a dead email address but I will keep checking back on this forum. If anyone knows what's wrong I'd appreciate an email at: Michael<DOT>Warrick@gmail.com Thanks Tag: No Sound When Capturing from VCR Tag: 64726

    - Single frame movements appear erratic I find I often need to split a scene into parts using the Split button. Consequently, I need to do a frame-by-frame move to the correct point. But frame-by-frame movement appears inconsistent, no matter what technique I use. Specifically, a single-frame advance can advance one or several frames, and may also step backward! Naturally, this is extremely frustrating. I've tried three other video editing programs and none of them has this problem, e.g., a single-frame advance always advances the video by exactly a single frame. I'm editing a DV AVI file that came in from a Hi8 tape in a Digital8 camcorder. I'm using Vista with all the latest patches, have 2Gb of memory and plenty of disk space. Other than that, I'm pretty happy with Windows Movie Maker. Tag: No Sound When Capturing from VCR Tag: 64670

Movie Maker allows me to select the slides I want to show, but when I ask the movie to save it doesn't complete. The time remaining keeps increasing (to 1000000+ minutes) and the progress bar never goes past 0%. Is there something about Live Meeting files that don't allow saving?

    - Importing recordings from Camcorder & joining with VCD recordings I'm new to this whole video editing thing, but I've got 3 and 1/2 DV tapes off my digital camcorder to import to my laptop, edit, do titles/chapters etc, then edit another 2 video cds (containing analogue recordings) from another camcorder. I then need to join the 2 edited recordings together to make 1 movie, then eventually burn that to disc (or discs as I can imagine it would be), I thought it would be quite expensive if I got a professional to do all this, therefore I've attempted to do it all myself but have experienced some problems along the way, that maybe someone can help me with...... When I first attempted to import the recordings off my Canon DV camcorder to my laptop, I kept getting alerts popping up on my laptop saying the memory on my C drive was running low, and as a result of this I was unable to import all my DV tapes off my camcorder. I had to clear about half of my C drive and transfer it to my external hard drive which freed up space on my laptop but still I was unable to import all the tapes in AVI format. I was using Nero Vision at the time. I done some research and learned that because of the format of the recordings (AVI), this actually requires a lot of memory (a lot more than what I had to spare) to import the recordings, save and edit them later. So I decided to use Windows Movie Maker and try using another format that would require less memory space like WMV and I managed to import all the recordings to my laptop using this format, but later on I noticed that the display size/pixels was much smaller than the AVI format that I first used on Nero. I just really want to know if there is anyway around this snag, i.e. is there another format other than AVI and WMV that gives good quality sized files, that does not require too much memory space and is easy to edit later? With regards to editing the video cd (that contains recordings from an analogue camcorder), I've ripped the vcd using Isobuster, to create the VOB files and I'm in the process of converting these files to mpeg or wmv (so I can edit the recordings) then eventually join the 2 edited recordings together to make 1 movie. Does anyone know what good free software I can use to convert the VOB files to MPEG files then edit the MPEG files on later? Also, if after I convert the files to MPEG format and edit them, can I make a dvd merging these files together with the WMV files from my digi camcorder?, Will 2 different formats from 2 different sources on one disc play back funny in a dvd player?? Or is there a way I can make all the recordings (incl the VOB files from the VCD) just one standard format on a disc that will playback in dvd players? I don't suppose there's any software out there that can just take do EVERYTHING I need done, is there? If anyone can shed any light on this topic, it would be much appreciated! *Sarasen* Tag: No Sound When Capturing from VCR Tag: 64664

    - Missing photos and clips in saved movie file? I previously made a movie using photos on Windows XP but on this occasion something is going wrong (the movie is 22 mins and made up with photos, music and one video clip at the end). When I save the project as a movie and play back everything is fine until, say, halfway through when the screen goes black but the music continues to play to the end. I then delete this movie and resave the project as another movie but the same thing happens only each time I do this the visuals stop in a different place. Itâ??s impossible to drag the green seek bar across the screen to the end as it always stops when the photos cease, yet as I say the music continues. On one occasion the photos came back intermittently. If itâ??s of any interest, I have noticed that when it is being saved it does it at a very slow speed but when the counter displays thereâ??s about 20 mins left to run it then speeds up extremely fast. Any help greatly appreciated!! Tag: No Sound When Capturing from VCR Tag: 64630
