    - Does MM 2.1 have video/audio discontinuity? Hi, MM 2.0 created a video/audio discontinuity when two clips had a fade transition and there was a song (or other audio) in the background. This was a well-known problem and the bug was definitely known by MS (was in their bug database). Has this problem been fixed with the release of MM 2.1? Thanks, Hilton Tag: DV export to MM2.1 using JVC Tag: 30658

    - FAQ: Crashes & Hangs :20050123 Movie Maker FAQ 1 Last updated 6th January 2005 Crashing and Hanging 1) What is a Codec? ============== A Codec is software that was first created to deal with the transposition of data from one form into another. One of the first important Codecs was a procedure still used today called Soundex. I believe the first proper use of Soundex was by the Mormons. Most of us use Soundex or its equivalent every time we use a spell checker. The Mormons use it in their vast database of all persons baptised by them. It enables very fast data searches on similar sounding words that are not necessarily spelled the same way. Soundex though is a one way procedure. Its a CODER The other part of the word Codec is derived from the word DECODER. Joining the two parts together we get the word CODEC. With regard to Codecs and any Video or Audio playing software. MP3 or WMA audio files have been compressed using CODER routines. When you play those files on your computer you are using the DECODER routines to produce a sound or video signal that can be seen/heard on your machine. With regard to Audio/Video editing software. A Codec is used to compress the data so that it occupies as small a space as possible usually on a hard drive. But in the case of editing a file the codec must first expand the compressed data before the edit can occur and afterwards compress it again when the data is saved to a new file. The problems with Codecs arise from "Calls" A call is the expression used to define the way one software module talks to another so that information can be passed between the two. The problem occurs when the Call is not properly formatted, or the reply is not understood. This becomes a problem that the calling software must handle. When the calling software fails to handle the error it can do one of a number of things....the correct way is to contain the error and respond with an alternative approach and possibly inform the user that the error occurred, the other approach we are all to familiar with, either the software or the machine crashes and probably taking all of your hard work with it. You will find advice elsewhere that certain Codecs are known to cause Movie Maker a problem. The statement as given is NOT true. There are certain programs which are now out of date, that will cause problems. The latest release of those programs do not.The programs referred to are most often, but not restricted to DVD playing programs. 2) Movie Maker crashes, what can I do? ============================ From item one above there is a good chance that your problem arises from a problem with a Codec. Movie Maker version 2.1 was supposed to address this issue by giving you the user the ability to disable one or more of the Codecs on your machine. The problem however is not fully addressed and results in some Codecs not being exposed to the disable option. If its that particular codec that is causing the problem you are stuck. You need to know which Codec it is, where it is, possibly what other software installed it and what other dependencies exist. In other words you need to know a LOT of things. The proper way of dealing with the issue would be to remove the offending codec but that's not very practical as you may really need the other software that depends on it. There is a temporary solution available in the form of a program called "Rename Codecs" It has been in use for perhaps a year now by many hundreds of people and with great success. There have been a total of 6 times that the program did not solve the users problem (At the time of writing this) You can obtain your FREE copy of the program from www.the-kellys.org It is strongly recommended that you check out the short interactive tutorial also on the website so that you can get a feel for how it performs. The basics of the program are that it will offer you the option of temporarily renaming Codecs that are known to be a problem for Movie Maker. You would do that before using Movie Maker. Once you are finished using the program you again run Movie Maker and use the RESTORE option to put those Codecs back into operation...its very easy to use. There is an additional option. You can use the options within XP to turn off the various levels of video acceleration that your graphics card has. Doing this is not a good idea but if you do you must understand that every program that relies on those abilities will either run badly or not at all. To turn the acceleration down right click your desktop and select PROPERTIES, then SETTINGS then ADVANCED and then TROUBLERSHOOT. You will then see a slider bar which should normally be positioned on the far right. You can move it one step at a time and then close the dialog down and re-try Movie Maker. You can repeat those steps until (and if) Movie Maker works properly. A lot of video programs give you the opportunity of taking a snap shot of the video displayed, Intervideo WinDVD 5 does a good job of this. Movie Maker also has this option. BUT, if you turn the acceleration down as above, you will no longer be able to take those snapshots. This is not a great problem of course as you can change the acceleration back. But it is rather tedious. 3) How do I make my system perform better and stop Movie Maker crashing ======================================================= This is by far the best way of doing things. Whilst the Rename Codec program is a MUST when you really do need to keep "other" software on your system, the following approach will ensure that your system runs at its best speed and will be less likely to crash at all from Video or Audio problems. You need to download the latest versions of DirectX and the Windows Codecs pack together with the latest version of Windows Media Player. You should NOT try to install these packages via the Internet, you should get the standalone versions. The reason is obvious once you know it. Suppose those updates you did some time back are not working properly...it may be that they were not installed properly or it may be that a file is either corrupt or simply missing. How would you know??? The more experienced may spot the problem but the average user will not. So why download the full package??? That's easy. When you unzip a package several checks are made to ensure the integrity of the files inside the zip. If there is a problem you will be told there and then...the file is corrupt or damaged in some other way....you do not need to trust an install over the internet and the possibility of data being missed.... You can get the packages via these links... Codec Pack ----------------- http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/format/codecdownload.aspx DirectX ---------- http://go.microsoft.com/?LinkID=1081813 Windows Media Player --------------------------------- http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=b446ae53-3759-40cf-80d5-cde4bbe07999&displaylang=en Movie Maker for XP --------------------------- http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/protect/windowsxp/choose.aspx The link for Movie Maker is actually a link to SP2 (Service Pack 2). This a large download. Its not to bad if you have a reasonably fast broadband connection, but if the download fails its a long way back to the start!!! Personally I would recommend you obtain A CD version of SP2...its available on the Windows Magazine and from Microsoft directly Drivers for your graphics card ---------------------------------- I have discovered that most people are confused on the issue of drivers for their graphics card in that when advised to acquire the latest driver they go straight to the Microsoft website and get one from them. Their is a problem with that in that the drivers supplied by Microsoft are Generic. I made the mistake of going direct to Microsoft some time back and the result was that I could only run the machine in the basic "Safe Mode" the driver was the most up to date and was definitely more recent than the existing driver. It took some time to understand what was going on I must admit...... The graphics card was an NVidia GForce 4 etc and was manufactured by Gainward. After several attempts at getting the Microsoft driver to install I decided that the download MUST BE corrupted in some way, So I went to the NVidia website and downloaded their driver (Same version number as the one from Microsoft) I had the exact same problems!!! In the end I went to the Gainward website and downloaded the most up to date driver they had.....once installed the graphics card performed better than ever and with more configuration options than I would ever need. So why did an older driver work better than the most recent from NVidia ??? Its simple when you know why .... Gainward produce high capability cards and in order to achieve some of their aims they change the way the NVidia chipset works. This requires a modified driver....and they produce their own. The card is still based on the NVidia and conforms to the basic design....but it runs very much faster because of code optimization, and that optimization is missing from the Microsoft or NVidia drivers. The result of all this is that you should ALWAYS go to the website of the MANUFACTURER of the card and not the manufacturer of the chipset (in my case NVidia) The Method ----------------- Reboot your computer and install SP2. After the install has completed you should reboot your computer twice...yes boring but desirable After the reboot you should now install the DirectX pack and reboot again. After that reboot install the Codec Pack and reboot yet again. After that install Windows Media Player and reboot again Finally install the latest driver for your graphics card. Rebooting the machine does perform an important task. It completes installation process's and ensures that previously existing file locks are removed. Under certain conditions XP will not overwrite a file if it has been locked. Note that this is not the same as marking a file as Read Only. Windows XP Video Decoder Checkup Utility --------------------------------------------------------------- This utility can be obtained here... http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/portablemediacenter/decoder.mspx A very useful program but with a problem. It reports that I have the MGI MPEG-2 Video Decoder on one of my machines...I have NO MGI software on my system!! I would not let that put you off using it as it does have a useful purpose even though the same objective can be achieved via other already existing routes within XP. I am in favour of this program as it does give good advice on which Codec you should select as the preferred Codec 4) What files does Movie Maker NOT like? ============================== Any MPEG based file will cause Movie Maker problems even though they seldom cause problems for Media Player. There are a number of reasons...Media Player does not need the CODER part of the Codec and there are many methods/procedures/algothims used to Code an MPeg file and its that wide range of methods that Movie Maker can not address. Its not really a bug but the method of dealing with the issue, well there is no method...Movie Maker gives an error and crashes or it just crashes. The particular file extensions are Mpeg, MPG and MP3. JPeg still images can also be a problem and for similar reasons to MPeg files. There are a number of formats for a JPeg and it seems that the older formats are not properly dealt with. To work around the issue you can reduce the compression used in creating the JPeg and NOT use the progressive format method The best solution for these problems is to convert the file into a more acceptable format, and as it happens a format that is more easily worked on by Movie Maker...the conversion you should employ are MPeg, MPG convert to AVI, MP3 convert to WAV and JPeg, JPG convert to a standard bitmap BMP NOTES ====== There are several other approaches you can take to solving a codec issue. I have seen several other methods of solving the problem, and basically they don't. Instead they treat the symptom and not the problem itself. Several other methods involve damaging the picture of your computers layout (that's a bad pun by the way) and simply doing that method involves the risk of permanent damage to that picture. The program Rename Codecs also damages that picture of your system but it does at least provide a user friendly way of restoring your system and that method requires no prior knowledge on your part about where, which and how to make those changes. All efforts are made to ensure that the information is accurate. As no one is perfect I would be happy to hear of any errors found in this document. If you have any doubts at all over following the advice given here you should NOT attempt it.

    - Saving movie from MM2 as AVI file then problems burning DVD I have made movies with MM2 and saved them as wmv files and they play fine on my computer. Now I have a DVD burner and want to burn those movies onto a DVD for playback from my DVD to my TV. I went back to the original MM project and this time saved as avi file instead of wmv. When I then try to burn DVD (using NeoDVDplus5 and saving onto computer first), it all works except my still pictures that are part of my overall movie appear stretched during playback. The video portion seems fine during playback. Anybody have some ideas as to the problem ? Tag: DV export to MM2.1 using JVC Tag: 30654

    - editing/copying MM2 using different computers We just learned to use MM2 yesterday. My daughter's group (12 years old) would each like to edit a portion of the movie. I burned it to a CD, but I cannot open it (how do you open the file?). How would each member edit their portion and how would we re-assemble the whole thing (assuming each has MM2 and CD burner). I read a post that was similar, but I need a lot more detail. We're new at this! Thanks! Tag: DV export to MM2.1 using JVC Tag: 30641

    - System memory and Moviemaker performance I have just started playing with video capture so I apologize if my question is an amateur one... I have an AMD Athlon XP 2.4, with 512 MB of RAM and a 200GB 7200 RPM hard drive. I used my capture device to capture about 40 mins of video, in MPEG format. The filesize was about 608 MB. When I tried to import this clip into MovieMaker, it grinded for about 20 minutes until finally responding again. The hard drive and entire system strained non-stop during this time. Once it did respond I was not able to do anything with the clip without the never-ending grinding again. I was watching Task Manager and did not see Moviemaker use any more memory, so I am not sure what it was doing, but it is certainly not useable with a clip of this size. I have imported some smaller clips and the response was much faster. What do I need to do to speed this up? Do I need to have more system emory than the size of the files I am importing? Can I import a file without having it automatically cut it up into "clips", which also seems to take some time? Any advice appreciated. Tag: DV export to MM2.1 using JVC Tag: 30626

    - Hangs at Import... I've been trying to import using an S-video cable and an audio Y cable into the video 1 ports of an Angel MPEG card (which I use as a TV tuner) in a Dell Dimension from a Sony Handycam. When I didn't have the Y cable plugged up, the video came through. Once I hooked up the Y cable, the audio came through but the video didn't (just a black screen). Both times, however, MM got stuck at Importing... with the bar completely green and never went to the test part of the pop-up window. When I got tired of waiting (I gave it over an hour figuring it just took a long time to process), I clicked Cancel, and it still didn't shut down. Then I went to Task Mgr to shut it down, and it told me that MM was waiting on input from me. This is my first day using this program, so please excuse me if I'm WAY ignorant about all this.

    - Problem capturing video from ADSTech DVD Xpress Hello all... I recently purchased a USB 2.0 video capture device by ADSText called DVD Xpress. It comes with software that can be used to do video captures, and this seems to work fine. However, when I try to capture into Movie Maker, I get an error: The video device can not be used at this time because there has been an error when starting the device. If I try it again, MovieMaker crashes. The device is installed properly, shows up in Control Panel, work with it's own software, etc. Any idea why this might be happening? Thank you in advance.

    - out of sync timeline Just done a 12 min family presentation for the first time mainly using photos, but near the end I have a few short movie clips. When played from the computer, its great, but when saved to the harddrive and then burnt to cd, the audio part from the videos are about 8 secs late. Tried a new project with the video clips near the front of the project and this was fine. -- judy Tag: DV export to MM2.1 using JVC Tag: 30518

    - Video Capture I have been struggling with video capture in Movie Maker 2, Adobe Premier and one or two other Video editing programes. I use a Canon camcorder with a firewire connection. After many hours of frustration and checking of computer and camera I finally discovered the reason for not being able to capture the video. On my camcorder there are 4 recording settings shortplay, longpplay, extended sp and extended lp. Video capture on all the software seems only work when the recording has been done in sp or lp mode due to the loss of data on the extended recording mode. I hope that this is helpful Tag: DV export to MM2.1 using JVC Tag: 30509

    - Movie Maker 2 just won't work I am trying to capture video from my analog camcorder. When I hit the capture video button, the program freezes up. I tried to re-install the program, but the Microsoft download site says it comes with SP2 (which, of course I already have) and the wizard it puts me through auto-detects that I already have SP2 and it won;t let me download anything. Can anyone help me with this? Tag: DV export to MM2.1 using JVC Tag: 30491

    - Windows Movie Maker Crashes instantly when gone into. This is how the problem started I downloaded all the add ons and the sample transitions and effects. Then I downloaded the media edition but could not find the activation code. So I uninstalled all of these and put them onto a cd for later use. I figured this would let me go back into movie maker without it crashing. Nope still crashes here is information about the problem. Please Help. This is driving me crazy. Thanks Justin.

Up until recently (after installing SP2) i could use MM without any trouble -
now when I try to import my tape using AVI format, via firewire, the result
is a movie the jumps around seems to stutter along and the sound is complete
rubbish. I have gone back and tried with a previously good tape made with MM
and the result is the same. I have tried to download the program again but am
told by microsoft the I am fully up to date so will not download MM again. If
I use the AV out to the phono connections the result is perfect but not
digital of course. I can produse a perfectly good edited movie back to my
camera using "Power Producer" so the tape and camera are OK. I prefer MM as
it has more options. Can anyone advise.

Sounds like it may be a resource issue. Try turning all not needed apps off,
use something like enditall. Ensure you have plenty of space on the hdd, as
full drives work slowly. defrag. Turn off internet/firewall/anti-virus etc.
If non of this works, have alook at windv a programme just for capture and
export, which you can then use the file it makes in MM.
