    - Movie maker versus Nero I have nothing but problems with MM and none at all with Nero. The drama is that unless you have a disc with sp2 or download the whole thing you cant reinstall MM to rectify any errors. Think I'll just stick to Nero instead, Jeff Tag: Text on screen Tag: 51137

    - movie is freezing up during playback Hi There, I'm having a problem with playback after rendering the movie. The video portion stalls however, the audio still plays and will play all the way through to the end of the movie. I have gone back into the movie project and if I move the picture frame that the video hangs up on and rerender the movie the movie will then play through but, stall on a different frame. I have tried different file sizes and types of movie styles to save the movie in and it continues to happen on a different frame each time. Also it if you replay the movies each time it will freeze on the same frame as it did the first time so it seems to be something to do with the picture or the transition effect. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Q Tag: Text on screen Tag: 51129

    - Problems Importing Some Files I have problems importing wmv. files to the Movie Maker Software. I don't understand what the problem is because it imported another file rather quickly but there is this one file that will import all the way up to 98% and stop...then movie maker freezes. I have to do a "manual" exit and of course the work is not saved. Another file would not even upload to 10% and then it hangs. How can this issue be resolved?! I'm kind of running out of time here.

    - First Time, Whatcha Think? I've been wanting to use MM2 for more than editing out commercials, but I don't have any videos to edit and create with. So I decided to come up with something goofy for my nephew and give me some video to edit. Here's the link, it's only about 90 seconds: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-207172509616826157 Keep in mind that I used a Samsung camera that is for taking stills, but also does video. And in the LCD display on the cam, he didn't look that far away in the last couple shots. Thanks in advance for any advice, tips or comments y'all might give. Raoul Tag: Text on screen Tag: 51078

    - Does Windows Media Player play DVDs or .avi?? I was wondering what brand media Player can my family use to see on their PC, movies I will send to them ?? I assume they will use a DVD player for the TV. I am using Windows Movie Maker to collect the clips then using Nero to convert to DVD keeping the .avi format. I am unable to view my own DVD on Windows Movie Maker. To view them I can only use Nero or ATI file Player, the latter with grinding gear background noises. Is this how it is?? Thank you.

    - Since auto update installed CD Max, files won't save ... :>( MM 2.0.3312.0 Windows XP Pro 2002, SP2 Pentium 4 / 3-GHz 512 MB RAM 40-GB available HDD I've used MM for some time, on files up to 100 MB, without problems, until Windows auto update installed the CD Max patch. Since then, any file over 5 MB goes into an infinite wait when saving to computer. The panel displays a hard drive file definition to save into, but a top line message says, e.g., ... preparing to save file to CD ROM - 9743286 estimated mins to save. I uninstalled the CD MAX application in Control Panel / Add-Remove ..., which completed normally per messages. After a reboot, the CD-Max logo still appeared in the Save Movie panel, and the preceding CD-RoM save message still appears in MM. Any assistance appreciated. I'm in the process of converting family movies for our children, and want to finish before the family reunion in August. If MM can't be fixed in a timely manner, what other commercial software package would do the trick, to enable me to finish. I'm AV-challenged, so simple apps are good ... :>) Thanks ...

    - Capturing Camera tapes I am capturing tapes from my Sony Digital 8 camcorder on to my PC, but notice that I have two choices. Top capture them as .avi or wmv files. I intend to edit this footage and save as avi and burn on to DVD's with Nero. Of course the .avi files take up a lot of hard drive space, and I was wondering if just capturing wmv files for the editing would afford the same quality.

Hello... I'm looking for a little help putting text on the screen. Is there a
way to put a text overlay (like subtitle) on the top of the screen rather
than just the bottom? Example would be how FOX Sports does theirs. THe ones
I've seen through movie maker will squish the video and I don't want that. I
would like a nice, clean score overlay on the top of the screen. Please
advise.
