    - Displaying more than one clip in the pane How can I display more than one video clip in the pane. Each time I select one from the Collections pane, the previous clip is over written with the new clip. I tried holding down the shift key when trying to select several files, but this didn't work either. Tag: MM no audio Tag: 6656

    - PC to DV Aaargh! I can import and create a video clip from my Sony PC 100E via firewire PC Card but when I try to send it back complete to DV, it won't record. The camera acts as if it does (timer, whirring of tape etc) but nothing is recorded. I can, however, record stuff when I'm connected to the internet?? What's that all about? Help appreciated!!

    - movie maker keeps freezing Hello, I have had windows movie maker 2 for a while now and from when I first got it i have always had problems with it freezing. I am not using many effects or transitions and what i have edited is just over 1 minute long. I am not even able to drag a 5 second clip down to the timeline as this will make it freeze. I have 64% of my computers memory free so i am sure it is not a memory problem and also defragment it often. Would someone be able to tell me what might be the cause of this problem and how i can stop it from happening? Thanks very much Michael Tag: MM no audio Tag: 6645

    - Movie Maker 1 I am a new movie maker user, learned somewhat how to use the last version of movie maker. Downloaded movie maker 2, do not like it as much as the previous version, especially the storyboard view or the view on the screen.Have not been able to import files and when it was configuring my old video files into the collection, it caused my computer to hang up, had to restart and lost all my video collections. Is it possible to return to the previous version and delete MM2. Any other suggestions for this novice? Tag: MM no audio Tag: 6622

    - NTSC to PAL conversion I don't have any PAL equipment so I can't just give things a try to see what works... I friend in a PAL country wants a VCD copy of a portion of my vacation videos. My final output from MM2 is NTSC WMV. So in Nero 5.1 I changed the "resoultion" to PAL prior to burning. Is that all I need to do? I searched this group and there is a post says that MM2 has a PAL setting. Should I have set that prior to rendering my final WMV? Can I do this conversation with Nero 5.1 or MM2 or both or do I need additional tools? Would like to get it right the first time than send junk that won't play on his machine. Thanks, Rye Tag: MM no audio Tag: 6620

    - Saving in a different format than WSWMM I recently purchased a digital camcorder. I received a copy of movie maker from the Gateway store where I purchased the camera. I have had a ball playing with the software, but I need to know how I can save a movie that I make/change, etc in a format other than the the default extension of WSWMM? I try to bring up the movie in Windows Media Player and I can't play it there. It would be nice if I could make a movie in Movie Maker and then save it in a format that anybody could use. As it is, only those with Movie Maker can view the movies. Any help that can be provided would definitely be appreciated. I have searched the help files, but can't get the answer there.

    - Slightly OT, but worth posting I hope... Just stumbled across a new publication in WH Smiths (UK). Digital Video for beginners Volume One. £12.99 - magazine format, hence found in magazine section, but actually a book with no advertising, hence hefty price! It has some articles featuring MM2, especially in the 'getting started' section, but shed-loads of info about DV in general, including info on equipment, planning, framing shots, hints, tips, tricks, audio, pro-tips, effects... Great for newbies like me. CD enclosed, which I have yet to browse. Having read some of it I now have to convince my other half than a Sennheiser external mic is a worthwhile investment!

    - "WMM cannot be used- required audio not found on your computer" Well, as they say, when it rains it pours. When I first dl'd WMM2, the only problem I had (and still have) was not being about to preview my videos. Last night, it kept freezing up, it wouldn't let me save a video, and now I can't get in, period. I'll start from the the beginning- Last night, after WMM freezing up on me about a million times, I finally finished my video and went to save it, but after about 5 minutes of it staying on 0% and saying that thousands of minutes were left, I got an error message that said that I was low on memory or something to that effect. I can't say exactly what the message said, because I just gave up after that and now I can't get back in. Now everytime I try to open WMM2 it gives me the error message: Windows Movie Maker cannot be used because the required audio hardware cannot be found on your computer. I'd appreciate any suggestions as to what I could do to fix any of these problems. Madison Tag: MM no audio Tag: 6612

    - Variable Bit Rate Audio Hi there, I wonder, has anyone noticed this issue? I use the paid for version of MusicMatch to manage/record etc all of my audio, and I have the record option set to 100% VBR and MP3. I just recorded Magical Mystery Tour from a CD so that I can use some of the tracks in a video....the video at the moment is 19:52 or so minutes long and in the time line I could see all of it. So you can imagine the initial surprise when I dragged the "Magical Mystery Tour" to the audio track on the timeline and found that it was longer than the video itself!!! This particular track claims to be almost 20minutes long when in fact it is just 2:51 ...very odd But it gets worse...If you play the audio track from the very beginning it plays properly and at 2:51 it fades correctly to silence but the timeline indicates that the file continues up to 19:52 and if you leave it all you get is silence....but if you click anywhere on the timeline the music starts again from what seems to be a random position in the music, and if you click the timeline just before the 19:52 position you get the end of the track as if it was just before the real 2:51 position. If you select one of these audio tracks within Windows Explorer and look at its properties you find that each of them is reported to have a different bit rate, and that is of course correct. Some of the tracks have a bit rate as high as 570Kb/s It makes using MP3's recorded in this manner very hard to use. -- Best Regards.....John Kelly ---- God grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked anyway, the good fortune to run into the ones I do, and the eyesight to tell the difference.

    - movie maker stops playing after 3 mins 23 seconds I record TV programs in MPEG 4 on an SD card on a Panasonic DVD recorder (DMR-E100H). I then insert the SD card into this notebook PC (Sony Vaio, 256 mb ram, 1.2 CPU, XP). I can import the file into Movie Maker 2 and WMP but, after playing the file perfectly for exactly 3 mins 23 seconds, it then stops. Does anyone know why this happens and how the problem can be fixed please so that I can view complete films off the SD card in Movie Maker ? This problem does not occur when playing the file in Arcsoft Video Impression. Help please, would be most appreciated. Tony Tag: MM no audio Tag: 6593

    - MM2 exits when previewing clips - weird! One method I use to preview clips is to double click the clip icon - one double click will start it, another will pause it, another will restart it and so on. If I'm playing one clip I can immediately jump to another clip preview by double clicking that clip's icon. If I do this several times in a row MM2 exits! There's no knowing exactly when it will exit, that bit seems to be quite random. I've checked the Problem Solving -> Acceleration and Codecs page of www.papajohn.org but I don't believe that the solution's there. I don't encounter the shutting-down problems that other people seem to get when adding transitions, etc. My guess is that it's just a plain old bug in MM2! Clip source file is DV-AVI captured by MM2 on a defragmented non-system NTFS partition on 7,200rpm drive. System is P4 2.8GHz HT with 512MB RAM - no performance issues.

    - Saving as DV AVI file Hi everyone I'm a little confused I was wanting to create a VCD with movies I had made accessible via a menu system (like special features on a DVD you hire or what Ulead DVD Picture Show 2 produces) When I save from MM2 as a Windows Video Audio File, well the new photo story wont accept the video files & allow me to add them. Some kind person in this newsgroup suggested I save a DV AVI, which I assume will work- (if I use Ulead DVD Picture Show 2) - Anyway - the problem is this : Each minute of DV AVI is something like 178 megs - so how could I fit anymore than say 3 to 4 mins on a CD even if this process is to work? I assume there is a very easy work around that I'm just not picking up on. Any help you can offer will be very, very appreciated. Have a good day :-) Tag: MM no audio Tag: 6579

    - Capture device problems Hi I can operate my Canon cancorder on my dell laptop via the IEEE 1394 cable, stop, play, rewind etc... but when it comes to pressing record it comes up with error: "Either your capture device is in use by another application, or the output from your capture device is not recognized by windows Movie Maker. Please close any other applications that use capture devices, or change your device settings to output to a supported format" Every other program is closed, i've tried changing my device settings but it just brings up the play, stop button etc which control the camera just fine from the computer and gives me no other options other than Canon DV - which is correct!. Its the record/capture that brings up the error... Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks Ryan Tag: MM no audio Tag: 6573

    - Can't capture video I am very new, as in today. I have a Sony Digital 8 camcorder. It came bundled with MGI VideoWave III SE. I also have Windows Movie Maker. I am using a Dell computer, running Windows XP. There is a USB cable that came with the Sony that I use to connect. I press play on the Sony, with it in VCR mode, and see playback on the Sony display screen. On my computer screen, with VideoWave open, I do not get any video, and the only option to click on is "Audio." I did install USB drivers off the cd also. I also have tried using Windows Movie Maker which came with XP, but no luck. HELP! troyrec@troycable.net Tag: MM no audio Tag: 6570

    - 'Clips' do not auto-generate When I capture Hi8 video as a .wmv file (via a Canopus ADVC100) the video is split into clips during the post capture processing. However, when I capture the same video as a .avi file the video is never split into clips - -even with the 'split' option selected. Also, after the capture is completed, right clicking and selecting the 'split' option does not work either --it goes through the motions of creating clips, but the "Clips Created" count remains at 0. What is the reason for the different reactions to the two different file types? Is there a way to have clips created without having to manually split the video? The PC is a 2.4GHz, with 256MB, the system drive (c) is 45GB and the video is being captured/edited on a 140GB drive (e). Tag: MM no audio Tag: 6569

    - No Audio I am running a HP Pavilion XT933 with Windows XP and 128 Megs of ram. My problem is no audio in recording or capturing using Movie Maker One or Two (just downloaded). I assume that I should hear some audio through the computer speakers while capturing but hear none. The camcorder I am using is a Sony DCR TRV140. The program runs and captures the video just fine but no audio. Have checked proper cards in control panel/sounds but that seems confusing too. If anyone has any thoughts or knows the proper settings, I would appreciate a return. The only input line used from the camera to the computer is the USB Cable and the internal settings of Movie Maker default this to Line-In Wav. HELP PLEASE! billyz Tag: MM no audio Tag: 6551

The movie I want to create will have some of the 1st, some of the 2nd, some of the 1st, etc. (i.e. mixed in with each other). I guess my question would be: What is the easiest way of getting the 'piece' I want out of the AVI into the timeline? In my playing over the weekend it seemed like I had to adjust the handles on the clip when it was on the time line then delete it out. It seemed very cumbersome and was a pain to use when the piece I wanted was in the center. Am I doing it the hardway? Jeff Tag: MM no audio Tag: 6535

    - Save a .wmv file after trimming, without re-encoding?? This involves the same project I just discussed in another post, but a different problem I had. After encoding the file (ripped from DVD) to .wmv (using Windows Media Encoder), I discovered that an extra hour had been added to the video! At the beginning of the video, it just stays stuck on the first frame for an hour, before starting the actual movie. The total film length (on the .wmv) is exactly an hour longer than the original film. Strange, anyone know why that might have happened? Regardless, easy enough to cut off that hour in Windows Movie Maker, to set the beginning trim point where the real movie starts. The problem is, what to do then? Of course, I want to save the .wmv with that change, with the extra hour trimmed off. But when I click on "save movie file", it looks like it wants to re-encode the whole movie, asks me about encoding options, etc. I do not want to re-encode the movie, just save it as presently encoded, with that extra hour deleted. Is there any way to do that, to save an existing .wmv file which had been altered, without re-encoding it? Or is that the only way to do it? Thanks again for your help. Tag: MM no audio Tag: 6512

    - Adding subtitles to a .wmv?? In this case, a movie from a DVD which I bought and own, but want to also be able to watch on my PPC. I was able to rip the DVD files with DVD decrypter, and convert the video to a .wmv file, and the audio to a .wma file (both formatted for PPC). It looks like I can stream the audio and video together using Windows Media Stream Editor. I was finally able to rip the subtitles too, into a .sub file. But I cannot see any way to convert that into a format accepted by the Windows Media Stream Editor, which seems to only open wma, .wmv, and .asf files. How can I merge those subtitles in the .sub file with the .wmv file? I appreciate your suggestions. Thank you. Tag: MM no audio Tag: 6508

    - Muting the sound on a video clip, so only the audio clip sound plays I am able to change the balance between the sound from the video clip and the sound on the added audio/music clip, but only by changing the balance for the entire project. I have a few clips in my film where I want to override the sound that was originally recorded with the video, and have only the sound form my added audio clip play. If I keep my audio levels in the middle (this function seems to effect the entire project) and increase the volume of my added audio clip, this drowns out the video sound...but it's very loud and distorted. If I put the audio levels all the way to the audio/music side...those few clips are fine...but he rest of my film is silent. Am I missing something, or is this just a limitation to the software?

    - My MM2 Crashing Solved I was able to solve my crashing (white box of death) right after startup of MM2 by uninstalling a windvd add on i had added called dvd xpack, which was supposed to: "The DVD XPack instantly adds DVD playback to Windows Media Player in Windows XP. Installs the same theater- quality video and audio decoders proven by over 45 million users of WinDVD - the world's leading software DVD player." I don't understand the incompatibility, but i can still play dvd's in wmp, and mm2 now works just fine. why did i install it in the first place? (By the way, I was prompted to uninstall the windvd stuff by a post on one of the forums, but i looked at so many that i lost track of the specific post that led to this solution--thanks to the poster who provided this suggestion!)

I have Media Center Edition, an ATI AIW Pro, and Movie
Maker 2 that I downloaded last week. (because I couldn't
get the original application to work at all.)

Media Center works fine. I can record from cable tv, and
play back. But Movie maker only displays video. No audio
at all. I have tried both with cable connections and with
composite with the same result. Volume controls are all
unmuted and I think I have tried all the drop-downs.

Any ideas ?
