How I fixed MM2 from quiting all the time
I tried every thing on the Papjohn site and still experienced MM2 stopping
when ever I tried any editing feature on any video clip. I have built in
audio on my Asus P4B533E motherboard. The built in audio chip and driver is
from Cmedia. Installed the latest Cmedia drivers and still had problems. I
then installed a Creative labs Soundblaster 16 and disabled the cmedia
software and hardware. Now MM2 is very stable on my computer and working
great. My Computer specs:
Asus P4B533E with P4 2.66
1gb memory
1- 80gb maxtor
1- 160gb maxtor
1- 40gb WD raid drive
ATI all in wonder Radeon - (I'm going to replace with a Nvidia)
I have been capturing VHS through my Canon ZR-50 DV Camcorder, but I loose
audio sync after about 45 minutes. I'm moving to a Canopus
capture/DV-converter card. I think the ATI card's output is horrible. The
Canon never drops frames and is outstanding for 45 minute videos or less. Tag: CD autoplay Tag: 2734
Date & Time display - where is it???
Products: Win XP Home edition
Movie Maker
Canon Elura
Firewire/1394 cable
Adaptec 1394/usb 2.0 card
HP NetVista clereon 600Mhz
Problem: When capturing video from my canon elura
digital camcorder, I do not see the date and time
displayed on the captured video. When I copy the video to
VHS and use the RCA or SVHS ports, I see the date and
time displayed.
Any ideas? Solutions? Tag: CD autoplay Tag: 2716

Plus! DME Transitions
(I guess I could just try this and see what happens, but I thought I would
try to save some time and ask the question here first....)
I've been using MM2 (Plus! DME installed) with no problems . I've been
working on a video that I am going to end up putting back on DV tape. My
final video will be two video of about 45 minutes each (I have to do this so
that I can get all 90 minutes of video onto a VHS tape). Right now I only
have about 5 minutes of video on my story board. I've noticed that when I
drag a DME transition and play the transition in the preview, it looks
jerky/dropped frames. When I add some non-DME transitions, the same thing
happens. Then there are some transitions I add that play smoothly when I
add them.
What I'm wondering is, if I left the transitions that are jerky, when I save
my final project, will they be jerky too, or is there a chance it will play
smoothly??
Thanks for any and all responses,

Dropped frames > 8fps with Personal Cinema
Any obvious things I'm doing wrong here? I have the latest WDM and display
drivers for the Personal Cinema GeForce 4 MX440, running on AMD 2Ghz WinXP
with all updates.
When I capture in from my composite source, I get dropped frames (about 1 in
5) at anything over about 8 fps. Have tried both Adobe Premiere 6 and
Windows Movie Maker.
The device is, I think, capable of 768 x 576 at 25fps.
Any ideas?

How to Turn Off Movie Maker
I'm at my end... :(
I have a Matrox RT 2000 card installed in my state of the
art digital video editing system and I can't use it
because Windows Movie Maker is the default video editing
software. I can't capture anything in Matrox Tools.
Basically, I'd uninstall, but you can't unintsall Movie
Maker or Movie Maker 2.
I'd edit the registry to turn the service off as well, but
I'm wary of doing so.
Any thoughts?!?! Please email me. Tag: CD autoplay Tag: 2670
merging clips?

Movie does not save
After agonizing minutes editing my video and waiting

The video only saves up to 63% and then apparently hangs.
Ive trtied all different combinations(waiting up to 60
minutes at a time but it still stops saving at 63% with
the remaining time just increasing.
Is this a fatal flaw? Is therer a fix? Also earlier

Corrupt Video After Adding into MM2
Here are my computer specs:
- AMD Athlon 1GHz Processor
- 512MB PC133 RAM
- GeForce 2 GTS w/ 64MB RAM
- 160GB WD 7200RPM 8MBcache Hard Drive (Secondary)
- 30GB IBM 7200RPM Hard Drive (Primary)
- Windows XP Professional with all Critical updates
- Movie Maker 2
Whenever I try and make a movie from DV Video clips, jpgs, mp3s, the first
time it compiles, it takes about 3-5 hours to make it into any file (whether
it is a DV compatible file, a Windows Media File, etc.)
Afterwards, parts of the AVI file that I edited FROM, so the source file,
gets corrupt, some jpgs become corrupt and unreadable, and some mp3s lose
their integrity.
I have no idea what is wrong. Can someone please help? Thanks.

Recording movie back to DV camera
When I attempt to record my completed movie back to DV
camera, I get the message that my movie has not been
recorded to tape. No reason why not. Just a link to a
menu on how to record back to DV Cam, which I know about
and have checked all the options thoroughly.
Other movies will record back- this one will not. It is
not overly long (about 20 mins) and not overly big (I have
plenty of disk space).
I am hoping some clever person will be able to give me
some suggestions as to how to avoid having to redo the
whole movie! Tag: CD autoplay Tag: 2652

The best solution for our problems...
I've got a suggestion...
why doesn't someone post date their computer 6 months or so, and post a
message to this gorup called 'MM2 hangs when I try to use a transition', and
in it, we put the remedy (or at least the link to PJ's wonderful site!).
That way, there'll be no more people asking about it, and it'll always be
there to be solved!
Just a thought!!! Tag: CD autoplay Tag: 2624
WMM2 quits everytime I select a transition or effect
Every time I bring up the list of transitions or effects
as soon as I select one of the icons and release the
mouse button WMM2 quits. This happens if I just click on
the effect or if I drag it to a clip and release the
mouse button. It happens if the the storyboard is clear
or has clips on it so I guess it's nothing to do with the
video clips themselves but the effects. Any ideas? Tag: CD autoplay Tag: 2613
Trouble loading movie maker 2
I recently got hit with a nasty system wide virus
(win32.pinfi) that attacked most of my .exe files
including Movie Maker 2 executable.
I have managed to wipe the virus off the puter but am
having heaps of issues after same.
One issue was with my older installation of Movie Maker 2
on XP Professional where I got intermittent errors with
streaming video and the gui would crash when trying to use
any transitions between files.
I tried to hack the registry to remove Movie Maker 2 only
to later find it is rather a unique installation (read:
dozens of registry entries).
I tried downloading the Movie Maker 2 .exe again only to
have Movie Maker 1 launch each and every time.
Any hints/ideas on how to blow the Movie Maker 1 away and
update with Movie Maker 2 again?

'Clip' trimming?
Followed the instructions letter-by-letter in the MM2
Help file, but I just don't get it.
I just want to remove commercials from some TV programs
I've taped and captured with MM2. Grabbing the handles
and dragging, right to left, or left to right, is not
defined, so assume it does not matter?
The section BETWEEN the two 'trim handles' turns a
purplish color when dragging. Again, not defined. Is it
the purple portion between the handles that gets deleted?
Invariably, I end up deleting all or portions of a clip
that I don't want deleted. Sometimes, the deletion
carries over to parts of previous or succeding clips.
Anyone point me to a more detailed online explanation of
just how to correctly use these 'trim handles'? The
MightyCoach site requires QuickTime video which I cannot
install at my LAN based site.
Appreciate some direction on correct methods of trimming.
Thanks! Tag: CD autoplay Tag: 2611
Losing sound with transitions
I'm using a sony TRV-33 miniDV connected with a Firewire
card to my computer. No problems with capturing my video (

you think is causing this and what can I do about it.

Following all the directions I found in "Help" I imported

my music, but if I stop the movie, and start it again
halfway through, I hear the music then. Any ideas why?

timeline. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated! Tag: CD autoplay Tag: 2600
av -> dv Converter
My DV camera has an AV to DV converter. I would like to
edit some VHS home movies on WMM2. I can see the VHS
signal in the preview window; however when I try to
capture the video, WMM automaticaly starts playing the DV
tape, which overrides the VHS signal passing through the
DV cammera. My video camera (canon zr50) suggested running
the AV -> DV converter with no tape installed. I tried
this, but WMM2 gives a "no tape present" error. The only
solution I have found is a two step process: record to DV
tape, then capture in WMM2. This takes twice as long. Has
anyone done this? Any help to get AV -> DV converter to
capture correctly would be appreciated. Tag: CD autoplay Tag: 2592

Sound distortion with WMP9/MovieMaker2 playing AVIs [CMI8738 onboard sound and DX sound hardware acceleration]
hi,
i was looking around on google and found that many others seem to have the
same problem.
The problem actually comes in two parts:
*** I have AVI videos which contain an 8bit PCM sound stream (as recorded by
my camera).
When i play these videos in WMP9 i get a 'swooshing' sound which resembles a
washing machine. First i thought it has to do with the camera, but yesterday
i found out i can get rid of the distortion by switching back sound hardware
acceleration two notches. (Basic Acceleration).
Any one a idea why i have to switch back h/w accerleration and what causes
the 'washing machine sound' ? Codecs ? WMP9 ??
*** MovieMaker2:
When i play my videos as clips in MM2 the sound is fine. But when i put the
clips in the time line and play the clips it sounds very distorted, like MM2
compresses the sound wrong.... high pitch and distortion.
I was reading around and i read that some people say certain codecs may
confuse each other...but this is easier said than done. I dont think that
blindly renaming codecs is a good solution. And, yes, i have both WinDVD5
and PowerDVD5 installed.
The problem is kind of serious because it makes the sound of all my videos
sound horrible, and as it seems it happens *only* ??? in MovieMaker2.
My config:
Win XP SP1, AMD1900+, Radeon8500, DX9a, Cmedia 8738 onboard sound, latest
drivers and bioses etc Tag: CD autoplay Tag: 2506
