    - Save as .avi not dv-avi All the posts about avi files seem to relate to the dv-avi for use with camcorders. I just want to save my movie as an .avi file for storage on my CPU (without it being 40G). Is this possible? I have other feature length movies which are at most 1.5G and yet when I tried to join two 714M clips it was going to be nearly 40G to save as a dv-avi. Should I be using a different program if all I'm doing is joining seperated movie clips into a single file? Tag: What to do if AV/DVI is like 14GB? Tag: 48850

    - firewire and WMM Hi, I'm new to WMM and to camcorders, and video in general. I have a brand new WinXP pro SP2 systyem. I just purchased a Panasonic PV-GS150--used. It appears to be in good shape. And I can record and transfer the video to WMM via usb just fine. But I also got a DV-firewire cable. When I try to transfer my video to WMM with the firewire connection, WMM says "A video capture device was not detected...." I called Panasonic techsupport and they told me that they didn't think the problem was in the camera but rather in the sdoftware. I am wondering if anyone else has had this problem? Is WMM capable of capturing video over a DV-firewire cable? I can live with the usb connection (USB 2.0) but isn't firewire faster? -- DW In the High Desert of Central Oregon Tag: What to do if AV/DVI is like 14GB? Tag: 48847

    - Quick time files. Can I convert them so MM will accept? Sorry, think I put this in wrong thread by mistake. I have done some cinema 4D stuff (3d animation) for college. I wanted to edit and add music in Movie Maker. Despite assurances from lecturer that this was a universal format, the files that play in quick time wont go into Movie Maker. Can I convert them, and if so how? to a file format that will work. Preferably not involving downloading software. Any help appreciated, but idiot proof answers please.

    - No sound capturing AV from VCR Hi, I am new to Movie Maker and am becoming frustrated! Running XP MCE 2005 with Hauppauge 150MCE PCI card. I have connected a VCR to the AV inputs on the 150.

Thank you guys so much too! Guess i got lucky and ended up on a Ulead site and downloaded Ulead videostudio 9. WAA-LAA! I am the proud owner of 2, 1 hour plus videos burned to DVD disc that worked on both my home players. My process was importing all my footage into WMM. . .edited into a movie. . .saved to my hard drive, via high quality(large)video format. . .picked up finished movie project by Uleads videostudio 9 for final edit and burn. "whew" Exhausting, but i am way stoked man! Now if i can get some input on how to manipulate the burning process to where it doesnt take to long. Both of my projects combined took like 18 hours to burn. Did i hear by lowering the bit rate or something like that? Do you lose quality? Now that i have my technique and system down. . .do i start saving in DV/AVI? Damn those files are HUGE!!! -- Thanx!!! Tag: What to do if AV/DVI is like 14GB? Tag: 48773

    - Trying to locate saved Credits I have worked on a project and added credits at the end. This took me a lot of time as the credits were many and I was very pleased with the results. I have a lot of similar projects and would like to locate this particular project (cannot remember its name) so I could use (or copy) the same credits again without having to re-create the whole lot. Unfortunately, I cannot remember the name of the project but I DO remember some of the text in the credits. Is there a place where WMM saves credits or a way to make a search with a couple of words from those particular credits? Any help would be very much appreciated as I do not look forward to have to redo the whole lot again. Thanks. Yappy Box Tag: What to do if AV/DVI is like 14GB? Tag: 48769

    - Line In Doesn't Appear Anymore I used WMM for months, sending audio through line in and saving it as a wma file. I even wrote myself a word document listing the steps I needed to take to do the recording. Now when I start it up and try to record (via the narration recording feature) it doesn't list line in as a recording option on the appropriate sound device. I have no doubt I'm doing the recording process same as I always did with all the same choices made along the way. I can record via line in on voice recorder, so it seems the device is physically set up fine too. Is there any reason Line In wouldn't appear? And more importantly, can this be fixed?

    - File size I'm really confused on how to put a movie up on the web so that someone can link and open. I have a movie that is just over 3 minutes long. Saving it to Video for broadband at 540 kps results in a .wmv file of 12,812 kb. I've tried to upload this to my Earthlink host several times, and it just won't upload.

How do I extract audio from a video clip, for use elsewhere in my movie?

    - WMM hangs after X MB usage Why will MovieMaker just hang indefenitely after capturing approx 25 images (<20Mb), or after approx 10 minutes? I already divide my albums into portions of no more than 25 foto's; frequently less. When I use WMM I save every 2 images in order not to lose work. And even then, WMM will just stop responding after -let's say- 5 minutes of work. Only remedy is abort job via task manager and start all over. I use XP HE SP2, 512MB ram (usage 250-330Mb though) AMD 1800Mhz processor. So specs are OK, program is not. (by the way, my brother is experiencing the same, so I assume more people have the same issue). Who can help just to make WMM not hanging? Tag: What to do if AV/DVI is like 14GB? Tag: 48746

I see that the files are there but they must not be of the file type supported (?), so I have nothing available to select. I see some IFO, and BUP files, and some that say "power DVD" under them. Do I have to convert some of these to AVI? If so which ones do I want to convert? A couple of the DVD's have several different videos on them, but two have only one video. I don't understand...

    - un-smooth flow in final movie? Papajohn help? This may be an extension from my 3/3/06 post. I've created a 18GB DH-AVI file from PS3 and WMM. The clip runs smoothly and looks great. I want to make the best possible, univerally operating DVD with menu and chapters. Seeing many mentions of Tsunami encoder software I ended up buying their Easy Pack containing authoring software. I've converted the original DH-AVI file to MPEG-1 (4.2GM in size) with encoder, added the menu, etc., in thier Author prgm, but the resultant DVD, after burnng 4 different copies with slight modifications, always ends up running jerky in movement as though it misses the smooth tracking of the original DH-AVI file. Question: 1. Is this symtematic of mpeg-1files? Note: When I play the mpeg file it appears not as smooth as the DH-AVI file but certainly acceptable. 2. Should I expect better from my authoring software; has anyone heard negative feedback from that offerred by Tsunami in this regard? 3. If anyone is familiar with the Tsunami Authoring software could you please suggest website material where this type of problem solving may be found. Please don't suggest their website as I find it next to useless. 4. Should I be looking into software that handles the MPEG-2 formatting and burn my DVD from that? Thanks.

    - A mess on my Hands I have used the windos movie maker in the past 4 months without much problems. One week ago while working on a Movie project the program began to do some odd irritating things. It is sluggish,Freezes up. While working on the story board and trying to switch back to the music or credit area it stops and sometimes the entire screen will white out and freeze the computer. It seems that every step takes long time. When the video, video sound and music are playing the video may stop but the music keeps going or visa versa.Other time the vido continues but all sound stops briefly and picks up again. The only portion that seems to work without me going crazy are the title/ credits. I have checked for bugs,Defragmented my disc, Re set my computer . Memory or hard drive is not an issue. All other computer programs are running fine. It is the MOvie Maker that is not. I have totally lost collections that I had. The only new piece of hardware recently added was a infrared mouse. Has anyone out there had any similar problems?? I am looking for a correcting path to travel on. Can someone help me out?? Tag: What to do if AV/DVI is like 14GB? Tag: 48657

    - Move sound and JPEG slides together automatically How do you keep JPEG slides in Moviemaker together with video sound, from which you've deleted the video? I can't put anything in front of them (like new video with sound) because I must manually move the sound on the second sound line to keep up with placement of JPEG slide, which would move if I inserted video with sound in front of it. That sound would be on the first sound line. Tag: What to do if AV/DVI is like 14GB? Tag: 48655

the DV-AVI file doesn't go on a DVD.... your DVD software will transcode it
to an MPEG-2 file that will fit.
