Audio out of sync
I saved a streaming Quicktime video and converted the MOV file to AVI with
IBN MOV converter. When I play it with Windows Media Player the audio is in
sync, but when I import it into Movie Maker the audio is about 2 secs out of
sync.
Can any one help?

The Combination Photo story 3 to moviemaker
I have placed my short Photostories into window moviemaker. Three of my
photostories had the music incorporated. One did not. I decided to add the
music in movie maker. I use Neuro to burn my projects to a DVD. The problem
that I am currently having is when I play what I burned there are episodes
where the presentation skips,seems to want to stall. One of my home DVD
refused to play it. Other units seem to have little more skips while yet
another skips less. This occurs with all the short stories that were made
with windows movie maker. All the projects play well on the computer. I have
tried to burn the projects using photostory 2 but got frustrtated and went to
moviemaker instead. There has to be a very simple explanation to this
dilemma. I really want to work my projects through the movie maker.Can some
genie other help me out Tag: creativity pack for XP Tag: 50112
Changing timing of slides
I have imported about 50 photos into movie maker for a slide show and want to
change the transition times in between each slide. Is there an easy way to
"highlight" of the slides and change them all at once or do I have to click
on them one by one.
The options setting in the setup allows you to designate the transition
time, but it only seems to work at the start of a project and not in the
middle of one.
Thanks!

Windows movie maker is not importing ANY kind of file. Avis, mpg, mpeg, wmv,
nothing. It tells me "The file C:\filename.wmv cannot be imported because the
codec required to play the file is not installed on your computer. If you
have already tried to download and install the codec, close and restart
Windows Movie Maker, and then try to import the file again." No matter what I

Best place to post movies.
What is the best place to post movies for public viewing? I use Putfile, but

importing wmv files
I use Cyberlink Powerproducer Gold to create DVDs after creating movie bits

Inverted preview

AVI
On my XP Home SP2 computer,I saved a bunch of short videos as .avi files
after editing them in MM2. Using a Ulead program, I burned a DVD
program that worked out well. I can't however view the base .avi videos
on my computer using Windows Media Player 10. I thought that WMP was
supposed to support .avi files, but I just get a blue box when I try. I
haven't the vaguest idea how codecs work or where they're stored, so I'm
hopelessly lost.........not unusual for me.

Trimmed clips changes movie from 30 --> 4 frames per sec
I have some mpeg 2 video clips imported from VHS tapes, at 30 fps. I play
them in WMM and they play fine. That until I trim off anthing from the
beginning of a clip. After that, they only show (and record) at about 4 fps.
The action is moving along at the correct pace, but many frames are dropped.
If I restore the trimmed section of the clip, all is well again.

movie maker 2 - clips reversed
I have imported a video I recorded onto a DVD, then onto the computer. The
DVD show is about 35 minutes total and I want to get a 45-second segment off
this DVD to save as a file separately so I can upload that 45-second file to
my website. I "imported" the dvd file into MM2 and it created a bunch of
"clips". However the clip thumbnail images are "reversed" (backwards or
upside down). How can I change this? Also, there is no audio but the DVD did
have audio. I dragged 3 clips onto the timeline as those 3 are the ones I
want, but like I said, the clip images are upside down/reversed and no audio.
Any help would be appreciated! Thank you. Tag: creativity pack for XP Tag: 50063

Capturing Video From ATI Rage Video Theatre Capture Device
Hi,
When I attempt to capture a video, the preview screen and subsequent
captured file display flashing colors. Occassionally, I am not allowed to
capture a file and get a message that more or less says: "Device already in
use by another application" (meaning, I assume, ATI itself).
I can capture fine using the ATI TV/composite option, but the video is
imported in .mp2 which is incompatible with my CD/DVD burning software and I
have no way to convert .mp2 to a different format.
Is there a known way to fix this apparent incompatibility betyween MM2 and
ATI short of aquiring additional software? If not, what software is
recommended to rectify this issue?
Thanks in advance,

Video skips when added to timeline
Hello - I'm having a problem with viewing my videos in Movie Maker. If I
just preview the clips from within the "collection," they play just fine.
But if I add one to the timeline, even if it's the only thing there, it skips
so badly when playing that I basically can't even view it. Does anyone know
what might be causing this, and more importantly, how to correct it?

Can Microsoft will advise the use of sending error reports? If no response

Free Web Hosting Services...
My newsletter this week will be about the 'free' web hosting services for
videos... I've signed up for 5 of them and tested with both movies from
Movie Maker, and stories from Photo Story 3...
I'm impressed with how well they work... each handle the WMV files,
including the stories. For example, here's a link to my sample story on the
Google service. It's converted to a Flash file by Google, so viewing should
work on systems that have problems with the special codec needed to play the
story itself.

Reinstall Movie Maker?
I have just started movie maker for the first time. (Didn't know it
existed until a friend told me about it recently!)
When it started there was a message saying a file was missing (Which
of course I did not make note of!)
It asked if I wished to continue, and I said yes.
I wanted to test how it worked so I just imported a small MPG clip,
about 5mg, I dragged the parts to the timeline and proceeded through
the save to disc sequence. At which point the screen said Movie Maker
was unable to save the file, and to check if the source file was still
available and if there was enough disc space. Yes to both. But I am
still unable to save a file.
When I attempted the same with a different clip, Movie Maker crashed,
and sent a report to MS. (No response from MS!)
Tried once more with yet another clip. THis time my computer froze,
and I had to do the CTL/ALT/DEL thing.
Is there some way to determine which file was missing when I first
started Movie Maker?
From what little I can see here there appears to be no way to
re-install it.
Any and all advice gratefully recieved.
Thanks

Importing burned DVD back into WMM to save?
Ok, first, I'm pretty low-tech but I can usually figure things out. I made a
Video in WMM and burned the video to DVD+R. The video was taking up 10 Gb,
so I deleted the project from my hard drive, leaving the burned DVD as my
only copy. I didn't even think to save it in a compressed format. Now
that's what I want to do, so I can host parts of it on the internet.
I've tried, but I can't get WMM to import the finished product / DVD. It's
a .ts file or something. (?) I don't have it hear at work. What do I need to
do to load the video from the DVD+R back to WMM so I can save the project and
upload to the internet? Also it's about 16 minutes long, so I need to break
it up into about 4 smaller segments.
Many thanks for your time. Tag: creativity pack for XP Tag: 49995

connecting camcorder to pc (slightly ot)
Hi
A guy at work has recently bought a digital camcorder and was asking me
about firewire connections (I know the general consensus is that its the
best way to connect).
His camera connects via the USB lead to a socket on the camera which is what
seems to be the standard USB connection. We have 3 digital cameras and 3
MP3 players (different brands) and all use this same small plug to connect
to the USB.
My camera (Canon) is a few years old and uses the dv connection found on the
end of the standard firewire cable, is this not used anymore, is the USB
type small plug now the standard on new digital camcorders?
thanks

Why is "Combine" not possible in MovieMaker ?
Ok, I loaded a wmv movie into MovieMaker and put the marker (=blue vertical line in the timeline)
somewhere in the mid of the movie. Then I did a first "split" and just a second one afterwards on
another position with success.
Now I have 3 independent parts. I marked the middle part and deleted successfully.
Finally I wanted to paste the remaining two parts. For that I hold down the CTRL key and selected
with mouse clicks at first the left then the right part.
When I go now to the "clip" menu in order to make a "Combine" operation it is NOT possible.
The menu entry "Combine" is greyed out/disabled.
Why ?
The same occurs if I press the SHIFT key instead of the CTRL key
