    - MM2 movie skips during title pages on DVD, problem not present in preview Ok, I've made several movies in MM2, they look and sound great in preview on MM2. I am saving them as DV-AVI files and using Roxio ECDDVDC to burn to DVD. When I preview the movie in Roxio, it looks fine. However, the movie on the DVD stalls, and stutters (including audio cutout, dropped frames, etc.) during titles. If the titles are animated the problem is worse. I exported the movie back to my camcorder and it played just fine, however, when I re-imported the movie from the camcorder into a new MM2 project and burned the resulting movie, it had all the same problems the first dvd had. I have no problems with audio cutout or skipping during transitions, and again, everything looks fine, even when previewed in roxio. Tag: compressing the mpegs Tag: 9995

    - DV capture freezes -Hotfix?- When trying to capture video VIA firewire from my Sony DCR-TRV230 to Movie Maker the video preview freezes after several seconds and it stops capturing, even though the camera rolls along as if it's still working. I've looked at Papajohn's pages, tried a few things to no avail. Here's the thing: MS has a "Hotfix" on this page: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN- US;830363 This is reportedly a "confirmed problem" for XP with SP1 and DirectX 9- my configuration. But I have an OEM version of XP Home, so apparently they want to charge me money for this "Hotfix." Is there any way to aquire the hofix without shelling out more $$$ to MS? Any kind soul out there already download it and willing to share? Many thanks! Tag: compressing the mpegs Tag: 9990

    - only audio, but no video in timeline playback A few weeks ago I posted this: Whenever I try to play the full timeline back in MM2, it plays the sound but doesn't display the clips or titles. (It won't even preview title text whilst I'm setting up a title). However, it will play both the sound and pictures for individual clips from the collection before I place them on timeline. The timeline only has a couple of very very short clips, so there shouldn't be a length/size of clip issue. The same computer also still has MM1 on and will successfully playback the timeline in that version. and I received this reply: If they are MPEG2 clips, it's probably a codec issue. The clips I've tried are a WMV's but I've also tried with avi files & still have same problem. Have installed WMP9 for Windows XP, but still no joy. Other ideas welcome!

    - video freezes audio continues I made a slide show with digital pics using Movie Maker and added several songs. It plays ok on the timeline and I saved it to a CD and to my computer. I played the CD using Media Player 9 and it works good for about 3/4 the show and then stalls on a pic but the songs keep playing. It does the same thing with the file I saved on the puter. What am I doing wrong? The whole slide show is about 30 minutes in length and works fine for about 15 minutes then starts acting up. Tag: compressing the mpegs Tag: 9979

    - Sound I captured video to Window Movie Maker 2 and edited it, seemed OK. Then I saved it as .wmv format. Again MyDVD Preview Mode all was OK, so I burnt it onto a +DVD. However, on the finished DVD there is a specific sound sync problem. It is OK for most of the project until you come to a title without audio inserted into the "storyline". After the title, the video continues, but the sound does not restart until 6 seconds into the video. For the rest of the film the sound-track remains the same exact 6 seconds behind the video. This is only on the finished DVD. I have tried re-burning, but exactly the same problem. Any ideas please? Thanks, Peter. Tag: compressing the mpegs Tag: 9937

    - Which versions of Windows Media Player Can Play these files? I've been experimenting with Windows Movie Maker and love the end result. It was so easy to learn! However, I'm having problems playing the movie file that is created. It plays fine on my Windows XP machine at the office, but when I try to play the file using the Windows Media Player on the computers at home (one Windows 2000, the other Windows XP), I get only audio, and a black screen for video. Does Windows Media Player create a new type of file that only later versions of Windows Media Player can handle? I'm wondering if I need to download and install a newer version of Windows Media Player on these machines. Has anyone else seen this? Thanks, DD Tag: compressing the mpegs Tag: 9898

    - De-Letterbox when converting? I use WMM2 to make small movies to watch on the Pocket PC. I use the largest set profile for PPC, 320x240 at 218 kbps, to convert MPEG movies to watch on the PPC. 320x240 is not letterbox, however if the original movie is in letterbox wide-screen format, the resulting picture is also in that format, with an empty black stripe above and below the picture. I don't mind watching letterbox on the television. The empty black stripes don't bother me. However, on the PPC, the screen is so small, I would like to have the picture fill the screen, and not have those black stripes above and below the picture. Is it possible during the encoding to WMV, to change the aspect ratio (no cropping) so that the resulting video fills the 320x240 screen? Tag: compressing the mpegs Tag: 9887

    - "Save Movie File" failed Using MovieMaker v2.0.3312.0 with Win XP Prof. I've used this program before on other systems but something appears to be corrupt because I am unable to save any size movie (even just a few second introduction). I've tried various quality levels and verified disk space (have over 120 GIG free space on drive), drive is formatted for NTFS. No matter what option I choose I get the message "Cannot Complete the Save Movie Wizard - Your movie was not saved successfully." Additional infomation displayed is "WMM cannot save the movie to the specified location. Verify that the orig. source files used in your movie are still available, that the saving location is still available, and that there is enough free disk space available, and then try again." I have verified everything, including admin rights (I am the admin.), free disk space, source files (even created a new movie with only a MM title created). I check the DLL files and reinstalled MM from Microsoft's website. I get the same message no matter what method I choose to save. I'm at a total loss now. Any advice or is there a log file created with each step within the wizard that may give me better details where the program is failing. Please help! Thank you. Tag: compressing the mpegs Tag: 9879
