    - Problem getting finished video back to DV camera Hi all, I'm using MM2 on Win XP with SP2 Had no problem capture video with Firewire from my Canon ZR45 MC. Was able to edit, add music, etc. Was able to make an AVI and/or wmv. BUT, when I try to do File, Save Movie File and pick DV camera it doesn't work right. It records it back to the camera but the results are weird as follows: - 3 minute video ends up being 10 minutes on the DV tape - Video constantly cuts in and out (1 sec on 2 off or thereabouts) - The sounds doesn't really come through except in bits and pieces - Not sure if it is significant, but when I play back the original recorded video the screen says "12 bit", but when I try to play back the junk I get from uploading from MM2 it says "16 bit". I don't think it is my hardware. I have an Athlon XP 2200+ (1600 mhz) system with 768 MB ram. And again I had no problem capturing from the camera in the first place. Any thoughts or troubleshooting advice? Thanks, Peter Tag: capturing video Tag: 32030

    - unable to save in avi format Although I have successfully created DVDs before, I am having this problem with a movie I am creating now. I am able to save this movie in WMV format but when I go to save it as AVI, I get the following error. I know that have plenty of disk space. Movie maker cannot save the movie to the specified location. Verify that the original source files used in your movie are still available, that the saving location is still available, and there is enough disk space, available and then try again.

    - Transition Maker 2 Patrick has spend many months developing a newer, better version 2 of Transition Maker 2 (not that there was anything found wrong with version 1)... it's now available for download... a free upgrade for those who have version 1.... and a 7 day free trial version for those who haven't tried it. Use the link on the main page of my website to get to the TM2 download page. The default installation will be to a different folder than version 1, and you can run both versions on your computer. Your TM2 project files are fully compatible with both versions. I'll be putting out more info about it over the weekend and updating the website online tutorial. -- PapaJohn Movie Maker 2 and Photo Story 3 - www.papajohn.org Photo Story 2 - www.photostory.papajohn.org .

    - Audio file length When I add and MP3 file to the audio track of my edited video even though the mp3 is 3min20secs long it shows in the timeline as over 7mins long. The wave form on the time line ends at 3min 20secs so I can cut it back but it is pretty annoying. Does anyone know what causes this and if it can be corrected. Tag: capturing video Tag: 31995

    - Editing Video and Audio Is there anyway to add a second video line in the timeline when editting - so you can transition your video from the main piece with audio - to just some video of other things over the audio from the main clip - in other words - is there a way to separate the audio and the video. Also - I tried to get a piece of video to speed up - but it doesn't show that way when I play it in the timeline - how come? Thanks! Ted Tag: capturing video Tag: 31989

    - removing and replacing scenes ,, keeping original sound track Good Day Need some urgent help please. I am busy editing a video (shot on 2 different dv cameras). I have started with the main camera (45 minutes) , and I have also put the second camera's footage on the time-line. I have dragged the video on to the music line ,, in order to be able to cut out scenes from first camera and replace with scenes from another camera ,, thereby keeping the original sound. I am having major problems in trying to replace exactly the same amount . For example I have removed a scene of 3:14 (3 seconds, 14) . On the other footage the closest I can get is 3:12. I have tried for hours. No matter what it is always .2 of a second out . In order to have the sound synchronized ,, I have to take out and replace exactly the same amount of video .. On the one the scene starts at 5:33.12 and end at 5:36:26 yet on the other it ends on 5:36:24 etc etc Awaiting your expert comments please ...

    - Audio from one clip with video from another! Is there any way to combine the audio from one video clip with the video from another? I want to overlay the audio from one clip with a title clip. BUT, the key is I don't want it in the "Audio/Music" line because I want to keep the music going. Know what I mean? Everytime I try it, the audio jumps to the "Audio/Music" line and interrupts the music. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! Rachel Tag: capturing video Tag: 31984

    - "insufficient memory" error when saving While editing various video clips I ran into this "insufficient memory" error when trying to save my project. I don't know why I'm getting this message, and if it refers to my RAM or hard drive space. I have a gig of RAM and well over 25 gigs of storage on my hard drive, so I don't understand how it's insufficient. With movie maker open, the computer is only using about 550mb of RAM.

    - chopping a bit off the end of a video If I recorded a .wmv using MM2.1 and then imported that file back into MM2.1 and split off the last minute of the video and saved the result using exactly the same video profile. Am I right in assuming that there would be no loss of quality whatsoever because the program would be intelligent enough to spot that it's simply doing a trim operation and doesn't need to re-encode (and degrade the quality further) ? I'm tempted to think this isn't the case because doing this operation can take 20 minutes on a 30 minute video recorded (and being re-saved) at 500kbps. If it was being intelligent it would simply figure out where to truncate the file. ~dd Tag: capturing video Tag: 31928

    - Recording my project problems I need help also! I've only been using MovieMaker a short while, but seemed to have a good idea what was going on. I made a few movies from pictures that I uploaded from my pc and turned into movies with music. However, now I am using the same photos and same music but am unable to record to CD. The project records the first 2/3 of the movie just fine, but during the last 1/3 of the movie the screen goes black with no pictures. The music continues to play just no pictures.
