    - need help now!! hi everyone- I just made a video as part of my AP English final, and it all worked really well. I saved it to a CD and thought it was done, but when i watched the CD version of the movie (just the movie, not the editor file) there were scenes at the beginning with no video: just the sound and naration. I tried saving it in different ways, but each time 30 seconds to two minutes of video is missing. This is due tomorrow, HELP ME PLEASE!! Tag: Can I continue working on my PC while saving a movie?

    - First Time, Whatcha Think? I've been wanting to use MM2 for more than editing out commercials, but I don't have any videos to edit and create with. So I decided to come up with something goofy for my nephew and give me some video to edit. Here's the link, it's only about 90 seconds: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-207172509616826157 Keep in mind that I used a Samsung camera that is for taking stills, but also does video. And in the LCD display on the cam, he didn't look that far away in the last couple shots. Thanks in advance for any advice, tips or comments y'all might give.

    - Does Windows Media Player play DVDs or .avi?? I was wondering what brand media Player can my family use to see on their PC, movies I will send to them ?? I assume they will use a DVD player for the TV. I am using Windows Movie Maker to collect the clips then using Nero to convert to DVD keeping the .avi format. I am unable to view my own DVD on Windows Movie Maker. To view them I can only use Nero or ATI file Player, the latter with grinding gear background noises. Is this how it is?? Thank you.

    - Since auto update installed CD Max, files won't save ... :>( MM 2.0.3312.0 Windows XP Pro 2002, SP2 Pentium 4 / 3-GHz 512 MB RAM 40-GB available HDD I've used MM for some time, on files up to 100 MB, without problems, until Windows auto update installed the CD Max patch. Since then, any file over 5 MB goes into an infinite wait when saving to computer. The panel displays a hard drive file definition to save into, but a top line message says, e.g., ... preparing to save file to CD ROM - 9743286 estimated mins to save. I uninstalled the CD MAX application in Control Panel / Add-Remove ..., which completed normally per messages. After a reboot, the CD-Max logo still appeared in the Save Movie panel, and the preceding CD-RoM save message still appears in MM. Any assistance appreciated. I'm in the process of converting family movies for our children, and want to finish before the family reunion in August. If MM can't be fixed in a timely manner, what other commercial software package would do the trick, to enable me to finish. I'm AV-challenged, so simple apps are good ... :>) Thanks ...

    - Capturing Camera tapes I am capturing tapes from my Sony Digital 8 camcorder on to my PC, but notice that I have two choices. Top capture them as .avi or wmv files. I intend to edit this footage and save as avi and burn on to DVD's with Nero. Of course the .avi files take up a lot of hard drive space, and I was wondering if just capturing wmv files for the editing would afford the same quality.

    - Problem Saving AVI I have read and followed almost all of the recommendations at Papa John's wonderful site. However, I am having some problems saving a movie as an AVI. Since I can save a 45 minute video downloaded from my DV camera, the problem is not memory or unregistered DLLs. The movie I'm trying to save is 14 minutes. All of the source files are present and accounted for. They were all moved into a single folder and then copied to several computers for testing. All computers exhibit the same problem. If I delete everything but a single AVI file and a title, the movie will not save. If I delete the AVI source file, the title will save as an AVI movie. The present movie, as edited, saves has a High Quality NTSC with no problem. The movie plays perfectly in WMM. The only problem is that it will not save as an AVI. Is it possible that there is something unusual about the encoding of the (uncompressed) AVI file? I'm presently using AVS File Converter to convert from AVI to AVI, thinking that something is not up to spec. Before I waste any MORE hours chasing the problem, I thought I would ask here. Assuming that I do not get this problem solved, what is the next best format to AVI? NTSC High Quality WMV? The ultimate destination is a DVD. The movie is my daughter's school project, so there is a hard deadline. Thanks! Tag: Can I continue working on my PC while saving a movie? Tag: 50981

Saving the clips to a movie takes a long time. Can something go wrong
if I continue to work on other applications while the movie is being
saved?

It shouldn't if your system uses DDR ram. You should be ok with 1 gig - at
least that's what I have
and I multitask without any problems.

As long as what you're doing doesn't take up too much memory... as the
rendering is a memory intensive process.

even at worst, you could always restart...
