    - Slideshows I would like to add several different movies to one dvd with a main title. Other programs have this function, but I can't find it on WMM2. It looks like a remote control on the side with the menu to choose which movie to view. PLEASE Help me, I'm going crazy trying to find it. Thanks A LOT!

    - Capturing into existing Collection Can you capture new footage and add it to an existing Collection? If so, how? How do you specify where it is to go? If not, presumably the next best thing (but a bit of a bore) is to capture into a new Collection then copy/move all the clips across to where you want them, i.e. an existing one?

    - Capture Problems with Laptop This Packard Bell iGO 4451 laptop will not capture video using MM2.1 or any earlier versions. It is running XP SP2 and has a 1.5 GHz Celeron, 224 MB RAM and a SIS Video Card. Firewire connectivity is provided by an NEC PCMCIA Firewaire card. There are no conflicts shown in Windows system device manager. The firewire card, cable and camcorder all work immediately with MM2.1 on my IBM Thinkpad laptop. When I click on capture video, the camcorder will rewind, then go into the play mode. MM2.1 logs 3 kb of video only and the clock does not increment. There is no difference when selecting other settings or video quality. If I cancel that then try again, it reports that there is no tape in the camcorder. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Pete Tag: Using wmv files to make a movie Tag: 25341

    - Runtime Error with MM2 HELP PLEASE!!! I am running Win XP Pro and MM2 with Sp2. Had the problem B4 Sp2 also. Two issues are the same actually: When I run MM2 and open/import a movie file type and error window pops up saying (in a frame that says Visual C++) "Runtime Error. Abnormal program termination. C:\program location\moviemaker.exe." Then MM2 crashes and drops me back to the desktop. The second issue is the same; if I go to windows explorer and open up the folders to My Videos and dclick on any movie file (MPEG,etc) the exact same window error pops up. This is a SERIOUS problem for me and I need HELP NOW if anyone can offer some. I have the latest drivers and everything otherwise is working fine. Am using an ATI 7500 All in One and have for years. THANK YOU THANK YOU if you can help. Bigchunk Tag: Using wmv files to make a movie Tag: 25330

    - locking items to a clip Hi there, Does anyone know if there is a way to lock an item to a video clip? i.e. attach a text overlay to a clip so that if you move a clip the overlay moves with it? It's getting very annoying having to adjust everything after I make a minor change to one of my video clips. Thank you, Carlo. Tag: Using wmv files to make a movie Tag: 25324

    - Titles In Sonic DVD I can place a title (to identify the location of a particular picture) in a clip and adjust the font an size as required. I can then click on the title and move it to a location in which I want it to appear e.g. bottom right or left etc. MM only puts the title in the middle of the clip, with minor adjustment downwards, but to neither left nor right, and the font does not go small enough. Am I missing something, or is there a later version than 5.1 which you can specify centre, bottom left to right etc? Tag: Using wmv files to make a movie Tag: 25316

Importing the AVI file into adobe premiere gives me only the first and the last frame and all the audio. Right clicking the file and then properties says that the file contains only audio. The file is playable in mp9 (movie and audio) This was not a problem before innstalling the XP-servpack2. Tag: Using wmv files to make a movie Tag: 25306

    - Scene changes and DVD chapters I'm a newbie when it comes to MM2. I really like the program, it is far better and easier to use than Nero 6. I created my first movie in MM2 then burned it to DVD using Nero, but I am very dissatisfied that I lose the scene changes when I go into the DVD authoring application. So while I'd like to continue using MM2 (it works *fine* for what I want to do with the mini-DV home movies of my kids) I'd also like to explore a more complete application that lets me keep my scene changes and use those as DVD chapters directly. Currently I have to do these steps separately and it's really a waste of time. So my questions would be: 1. Can any DVD authoring application read the MM2 project file and use my scenes as DVD chapters? 2. Is there an all-in-one package like Sony's "Click to DVD" that can combine these steps? Basically, I want to do something a bit more polished than directly burning a DVD from my tapes, but I don't want to spend more than about 20-30 minutes in front of the computer (capturing, encoding and burning times excluded). Suggestions? Thanks, - Leo Tag: Using wmv files to make a movie Tag: 25295

    - Save Movie Wizard is SLOOOOW! I am trying to save my first movie and am using MovieMaker 2.1 with Windows XP on a Sony laptop with 512MB of Ram and 3GZ processor, and plenty of space on the hard drive. The problem is that I started the save an hour ago, it's 13% done (and seems to be stuck there) and says it has over 750 minutes remaining, and still climbing. The show has a title slide, about 300 still images, and a 4 min. movie. Is this a normal amount of time for a movie like this to be saved? Why isn't it going beyond the 13% completed stage? Is it just because it's using the processing power just to calculate the remaining save time? Tag: Using wmv files to make a movie Tag: 25286

    - MyDVD Wizard question. Hi all.... I have installed MyDVD version 4.5 which has been recommended by a number of people in these groups recently (Steve maybe you can help). It does look good but I have a question about the wizard. The Wizard comes up with "Welcome to the MyDVD Direct-to-DVD Wizard" and there are three steps, "select menu style", "choose a name for your project" , and finally "select the device MyDVD will record to and select the number of copies". The problem is regardless if I choose to write to DVD or Hard drive the "next" button never becomes active, the only option I have is to press cancel where it drops me into MyDVD but then I cannot find a way to remove the "menu style". The exact version is 4.5.2 build 81390 Regards, Paul Tag: Using wmv files to make a movie Tag: 25285

    - Combining captured screen, audio and video for movie I am using WinXp. My question is relating to Windows Media, Movie Maker 2.1, and Producer. We are a small business attempting to create a streaming video to be published on cd as well as the web. Our goal is to seamlessly combine captured screen footage, video footage from a digital camcorder, and audio. For example, the movie would start out with video of the president speaking to the viewer, then it would cut to the captured screenshots with narration through mic. Movie Maker is a great tool with a user friendly interface that we have already used for creating audio/video files. However, when we import captured screen files (created with Producer and Windows media) the resolution makes it unusable. Is there a way to create such a product using Movie Maker 2.1? Can the same type of output (movie with title, transitions, etc) be created with Producer or Windows media? I'd appreciate any suggestions or recommendations. Thank you.

    - Distorted Audio Results in Program Crash First off, I don't know much about Movie Maker (my wife is the movie maker in the family) she has complained about distorted audio in projects that she was in the middle of working on after I installed SP2. The program is no longer stable and crashes frequently. With the specific problem the fault bucket number is: 128143766 Faulting application moviemk.exe version 2.1.4026.0. Faulting module cmaudio.ax... Someone else on another thread mentioned slipstreaming SP2 and doing a clean install to solve a similar problem. Perhaps that would work in this situation as well. Any suggestions or information would be much apperciated. -Jared Tag: Using wmv files to make a movie Tag: 25276

    - Recording To CD Is Fixed/Now to Record To DVD...Help! My name is Tony...My daughters just finished editing a homemade movie that came out fantastic with Movie Maker 2.1...We are on Windows Media Center XP...I just spent the last 8 hours trying to figure out why I could not record to CD...Since coming to this website, it looks like I have resolved that problem by doing the following: 1. Click Start, and then click My Computer. 2. Right-click the CD-ROM drive or the DVD-ROM drive, and then click Properties. 3. On the Recording tab, click to select the Enable CD recording on this drive check box, and then click OK. But my next question that nobody has been able to resolve, is this...How do I burn my project on to DVD so that anybody having a DVD player can see it...And also by doing what I did to get it to record to CD, will I still be able to use the burner as a DVD burner as it is suppose to be a DVD/CD burner...It only shows now as a CD burner when looking it up in my computer...Can you write back or call me if you have any of the answers...My e-mail address is dafunkiemunkey@yahoo.com...

I also played with MM2 and liked it, does all I want so that is most likely the path I will take. However my original plan was to copy my Video8 tapes to DVD but I read somewhere that CD would be ok?

If I want to use some wmv files to make a movie with
Windows Movie maker and save it to view on a DVD player
do I need to use software such as MyDVD? I've tried
saving the movie to a CD on my computer. It plays on the
computer but not on my DVD player. This process of using
windows movie maker with window media video files is all
new to me!

Thanks.

Yes.... check the info on my website... the CD and DVD sections.

You need to use software like MyDVD to make a DVD, and the CDs burned by MM2
won't play on today's DVD players... maybe tomorrow's.
