I have the same problem I think it is a flaw in the program. If anyone finds
anything out let me know.

Hello,

Download the utility "Fix-It" from my website. The purpose of the utility is to
turn on the Recording ability of a CD (only) Rom that has not been identified

Hello there,

Well yes...it was a long shot. Having re-read your first post it causes me to
wonder...is the physical drive a DVD-Burner AND a CD-Burner? Did the Fix-It
utility report it as such and were you given the opportunity by Fix-It to
change the drive type?

If it is a combined DVD and CD burner Fix-It will see it as such and not let
you change it (That's by design)......BUT if it is also the reason for the
failure in Movie Maker I would be quite happy to amend the Fix-It program so
that you can make a temporary change from a type 3 drive to a type 2. Doing
that would cause you to loose the use of the DVD functionality temporarily, but
that no big deal anyway.

Let me know on the website if you would like an amended version of the program.

You are wasting your time trying to fix it (direct burning from within MM)
since even when fixed it will only burn a Highmat Video CD. This will not
play in any standalone DVD player of the present or past. Future DVD players
may support it but nothing is available at the moment.

If you were thinking of making a DVD then you must save the video first as a
file on your computer in WMV or DV AVI format; then use the DVD "authoring"
software that might have come with your DVD burner to make a "DVD Video".

Hello,

As you have previously been gratefull for being corrected ......I think all of
that has already been covered...the original poster mentions HighMat and the
fact that he cannot burn ANYTHING to his write using 2.1 As the problem may
well be the one of windows not understanding that its a composite drive....the
original poster is being offered a fix so that he can burn using MM2.1 to a
drive that windows is going to be fooled into thinking is a CD-ROM without DVD
abilities....check the message again yes??

John

If the original poster actually wants to write a Highmat video disk
realizing that it wont run in any standalone dvd player; i agree that your
solution is a help in right direction. However this is not completely clear
from the original post, although it mentioned that he has applied the
Highmat upgrade but did not say that he is aware of its limitations with DVD
players.

Another thing to try might be to update the ASPI layer

Shall we leave what the original poster wants down to him, instead of your
usual second guessing.......

The original poster in this case and many others where negative advice was
given, is quite clear on what he wants......or is this one of those cases you
are so famous for....remember...you decided that the number of pixels was not
what Movie Maker declared it was using (and Media Player if I recal) but
instead it was some fancy set of numbers that conveniently fitted some augument
you were trying to press home when you were corrected some months back.

As far as the url you provide goes, it may be valid, but, having seen others
from you that had no connection to the subject under discussion, I will not be
visiting it......

The original poster wants some help, I offered and you tried to belittle it
(yet again) My advice was to give something a try, yours was negative
advice.....

Try helping instead of telling people who have asked a question that they
cannot do what you "guess" they really meant

Hello,

Thanks for the reply and clarification as to what you want, I see I was not far
off the mark :).

There is an issue with Movie Maker with regard to multiple ROMS on one
system.....There is a link to that in the FAQ section on my site.

What I recomend you do is ....

1) With the computer turned off unplug the ribon cable to both of the ROM
drives.
2) Power the machine up and go to the device manager. If you find reference to
them then uninstall them.
3) Reboot the system twice
4) Power down and connect the drive (NOT the DVD RAM drive)
Additional...make sure that this drive does not share a cable with a hard
drive, and try and make sure that it is device zero on the cable.
5) Power up and work through the New Device wizard.

Obviously this should have fixed the one drive. If it does not you will have to
make sure that it is on the Microsoft list of compatable drives...should have
said that first. If it is on the list, check with the manufacturer for a
firmware upgrade AND a driver upgrade. If upgrades are available, apply them
and if they do not have an immediate effect go through the steps above again.

Assuming that you now have a drive that is recognised, try Movie Maker. If that
too works then proceed to install the second ROM drive.

The above is how I got my two ROM drives to work. In my case the Combination
drive stopped the ordinary CD drive from working

Hope that helps a little (Lot) If not do please say so and we will have another
go.

Hello,

Wow a laptop with two burners onboard??? that's some laptop. I bet it gets real
hot if both drives are used at the same time. Anyway, back to the issue....

I remember what that article was about by the way, basically Movie Maker will
only access the first CD burner that it comes to and will not give access to a
second ROM drive.

I am guessing that your laptop was sold with two drives (What make model is the
laptop) If it did come with two ROM drives they are going to be an integral
part of the "system" which means there may be nothing you can do about it,
other than check for firmware and software updates for them and possibly the
motherboard as well.

Assuming that no updates are available/you are using the latest updates and as
inconvenient as it may be, I would now consider going back to a state prior to
SP2. From the complaints I have heard in here and elsewhere it seems that a
"System Restore" to a state prior to SP2 is full of problems as well and may
not be possible, so that would leave a re-install of XP and everything up to
but excluding SP2. As a re-install is not so hard nowadays I would be tempted
to go all the way and install SP2 as well (Just in case it works)

Other things to consider: As your problem is not really anything to do with
Movie Maker, it might be worth taking the problem to the manufacturer if you
have not already done so, and at the same time check out the windowsxp.hardware
and windowsxp.setup-rollout groups you will get a better quality of help there.

Oh yes i remember that argument very well... it is particularly interesting
because you now claim that it was me who was corrected in that argument...
lol

But listen would you consider this to be helpful or relevant to the OP in
any way? If you now want to open this argument again please start a new
thread an invite us there.

Thanks.

well john its a ibm thinkpad a31p with security chip on board and 80gb
disk 1gb ram
i went to to remove evrything to sp1 it did still not burn anymore
and then back to sp2 again
also called ibm they said go back to orginal state of the computer a trie
dit from there
but through the time there where so many changes and lots of sofftware and
drivers update and email on the system
but becuase i cannot recover all it make no sense
what is it if you have to reload the settings again like sp2 that introduced
the problem to find that there is where the problem lies i know that
already only try to solve it
and becuase i i have al least a week of softare installed on the system
it make no sense to me
there must be a drive that cause the problem bescause i never had this
problem until i installed sp2
and unload it did not silve the problem
so again its help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

by the way you can buy a little car of the price of the laptop
and the support of ibm is also not what it sould be if you get those kind
of answers despite a 24 days a week service contact on site all around
the world
its easy to say well just remove all and start again
i get a mail automaticly to download the newest sp2 securery update and
then you get this

cees,

would you care to explain this sentence of yours:

> 2 yes i have higmat and acces to a highmat pleyer

which highmat player do you think you have? Please tell us the make and
model number since I think there currently exists none that can play a
"HighMat Video". Most highmat players can only play "highmat audio" cd not
video.

Does your player have a "Highmat Video" logo on it?

LOL ???? Yes I do, but not only do I claim it, I can prove it...In fact a
whole section of my website was created just because of your continued stupid
remarks along the lines of....I don't think Movie Maker does do a size x size
(even though it says it does)....I think it actually does Mywhim of the moment
by another whim of the moment....lets do a test and lets do another test, lets

made ????? Why were you laughing ??? or was it a nervous laugh???

I did not think your remarks were at all helpfull to the OP I am still
wondering why you did it.

As we now know, my remarks were relevant (I just answered the question as it
was presented by the OP)

It was you with your usually belittling remarks working on a play of my words
"Fix-It" that you used when you again started a flame war, in this thread,
telling in your often used negative way that a certain thing cannot be
achieved...remember??? you had decided that the original poster was doing a
certain thing (which was wrong) and then wove a story around it so as to make
yourself look good. You started it...not me. You were wrong with those remarks,
as usual....pity the less informed who have to come for help are exposed to
such an opinionated person as your self.....should I remind you of the little
event only a few days back when you were making it up as you went....telling a
novice how Windows created a program entry in the registry in a certain
position....It was a total load of rubbish with no foundation in the real world
at all and if you had not been corrected at least one novice would have
believed everything you said....should I mention these URL's that you like to
throw around....I can't remember the exact subject (but it will be easy to
find) When you were again corrected you bring in a URL that you claimed
supported your argument...I went and had a look at it just in case you had for
once found a URL that did prove your arguments...and I was right again....not
only did the URL not prove your point, it was not even connected to the subject
at hand.!!!!!

It seems then, rehan, if someone dares to correct you then that is considered
by you to be the start of a flame war (I know someone else who behaves that
way...52 !!!)....interesting view you have on life. If that is how you want it
then I guess we are in for a few of your flame wars...because if you do spin a
story again about how something works ( making it up as you go along ) you can
expect me to correct you, and if you do decide to invent a scenario that does
not exist in order to support stupid remarks you can expect me to correct you
there as well.

Thank you for confirming that this is another of your flame wars by the way.

Hello,

To be honest I think you should go with the suggestion that you re-install.

This is the short version of what I have been told. SP2 was basically created
so as to correct previous bugs in the system AND to force every one to go down
one route with regard to software and hardware properties. It seems that there
were several "known" problems that were a benefit to some software houses and
hardware designers. They exploited these weakness's so as to cut down on
programming time and to save on the cost of getting certain kinds of expert
help. The result was the release of hardware and software that did not properly
conform to the Microsoft view. Microsoft have strengthened their software and
the result is that many software packages and some hardware will no longer
work.

It was because of the above that I suggested you try to find Firmware updates
and software driver updates for your system.

Because of SP2 what might be happening is....Hardware and software currently in
use has a very short life nowadays.....I bought a new DV Camera just weeks
after it came to this country only to find 6 - 7 months later that it was
discontinued !!!! From the manufacturers point of view, they will not want to
spend money on resources that will soon, or are already, discontinued. The cost
of carrying the Microsoft Certification is to some too much in time and money

The only way forward would be if the device has a main Version update (e.g.
going from 5.nn to 6.00) and, the update can be applied to the older firmware.
Most motherboards have the ability to accept firmware upgrades. I have done
this to one of my motherboards twice, and I have also done it to a CD burner (
I can't remember what the manufacturer was...it was in the far east somewhere)

When in your situation there is an English phrase, "Bite the bullet" which in
your case would mean save all of your data files to CD and proceed with a full
format and install XP from scratch....and that's where another English phrase
comes in..."Catch 22" You cant backup your data because the CD drives do not
work.Actually, if you have a second computer save all of the data to that over
a network or ask a friend if you can plug your laptop into his and save the
data that way.

Unless some one else has a bright idea I think you options are reduced to just
the one....reformat and start again.....

Hello,

Just had a look at the video on your website, Excellent stuff & the quality was
very good too. It was interesting too me because I used to do a lot of long
distance cycling as well as speed trials. I once got stopped by a Warwickshire
Police Traffic Car for speeding....most embarrassing. Sigh, those were the days

Yes, you made a good decision there Cees. Maybe rehan will stop telling you
what you want and stop implying that you are lying by demanding proof of what
you say. Sorry you had to get embroiled with such a person...he's just been told
he is wrong by a Microsoft person as well on another subject (Size of still
images for 16:9 ratio video's).

There you go again, telling people what to do. As far as my health goes, well
simply its none of your business and its not relevant either. As far as giving
comfort goes, is there a name for what's wrong with you? Why would you feel the
need to post irrelevant stuff in here...I can also post irrelevant stuff...the
greatest number/concentration of registered pedophiles in Europe live in
Croydon, UK Would not want to live there, or any where near it, would you?
Makes you wonder how many there are in Croydon that have not yet been brought
to justice !!!! That's about as relevant as your remarks about my health I
should say, it certainly was not personal, was it? and other people would not
want to know or care, would they, so how do you feel that you were justified in
posting that irrelevant information...Hmm mm

Cees you do not need to start another thread if you want to discuss the
current issue further.

Can you please also clarify if your problem is only within Movie Maker.
Particularly can you burn using Windows Explorer's CD burnning support? Does
inserting a blank disk bring up the blank disk wizard ?

If the problem is only within Movie Maker you should be able to make a
Highmat Video disk using Windows Explorer's support. Just follow the
instructions at www.highmat.com/howtouseit/demo_wiz.asp to make "Digital
Music and Photos" CD using "HighMAT Extension for Windows XP CD Writing
Wizard".

Although they dont mention it in that tutorial I was able to use my WMV
videos as well as other media (jpgs and wmas) to make a highmat disk which
played fine in the viewer that comes from their website
www.highmat.com/download

Hope it helps.

i am trying to burn a cd on the window movie maker 2.1 and it's going to
take 500+ hours! i saw that your reply said that dvd players (past and
present) don't support this highmat format. am i wasting my 500+ hours? and
do you think i am doing something wrong that it's going to take that long to
burn a freakin' c.d.?

500 hours is not normal as you guessed. its a sign of more complex project
