    - No Sound Again! Using Analog VHS camcorder to transfer video/audio to PC. Have connected with S Video cable and composite type cable for audio. PC captures Video and will play back, no problem. The audio although under properties for this file shows up as Bit Rate 88 kpbs, channels 2, sample rate 44.1 khz, sample size 16 will not play back in WMM. I'm assuming its captured the audio since these specs are displayed under properties. Cross checking these numbers with the sample video supplied with WMM the Bit Rate is 32 and the kHz is 32 and of course it plays fine. Please advise! Rob P. Tag: help with combining clips Tag: 46587

    - Unable to save as a Movie File Hi, I have a brand new Dell Pentium 4 with standard 512 MB of RAM. For the first couple of months I had no probs with capturing footage off my DVD Sony camera into moviemaker via Sony capturing and editing program. Now I am having trouble saving even small movie files. It Hangs and crashes as soon as I try to save. Checking the Event Viewer it seems that the faulting app is Movie maker, the faulting module is ntdll.dl, version 5.1.2600.2180, fault address 0x00018fea. The Dr Watson debugger also faults, the module faulting is dbghelp.dll, fault address 0x0001295d. I am not sure if this is connected or symptomatic of a larger problem. Any Help or suggestions of where else to look out there?? Tag: help with combining clips Tag: 46566

    - Video Compressor/Codec When needing to convert a video file that doesn't work in Movie Maker to one that does, you are often faced with having to decide which video compressor to select in the conversion utility. For a recent newsletter, I tested the 20 video compressor options that are in the drop-down list of my new HP notebook... 14 of them produced files that imported into Movie Maker and worked in a project. 6 didn't. The 14 that worked made AVI files that varied considerably in rendering time, file size, and visual quality.... I added a new page to my website.... Importing Source Files > Video > Video Codecs, and included two charts to show the relative rendering times and resultant file sizes of the 14 compressors that worked through each of the testing steps. -- PapaJohn Movie Maker 2 and Photo Story 3 website - http://www.papajohn.org MM2 Tips and Tricks: http://www.simplydv.co.uk/simplyBB/viewtopic.php?t=4693 Online Newsletters: http://www.windowsmoviemakers.net/PapaJohn/Index.aspx Tag: help with combining clips Tag: 46564

    - Here's what I have, what do I need? Ok, I have a Sony TRV-280 Handycam and a Dell Dimension 8400 w/ Windows XP Media Center. My camera came with software (Picture Package) that is not compatible with my Philips DVD +-RW. Therefore I want to try using Movie Maker. I am VERY familiar with Photo Story 3, but have never used MM. What do I need to buy in order to get this party started?!? Do I need to buy a firewire? Is it simply a cable? How does it plug into your computer? Through the USB port? I am so confused! I have been at this ALL day! See my other post from earlier today to see my problem. ("Blue screen, no movie") Thanks so much! Julie Tag: help with combining clips Tag: 46560

    - Converting MPEG2 to AVI I want to transfer my old 8mm movies into DVD. I captured one using PowerVCR II in my Dell Inspiron 6000 notebook. Although Sonic MyDVD and WMPlayer 10 can both play it with no problem, WMM cannot. It posts an error message (something like "an interface has too many ways to produce an event"). Going through PapaJohn's website (BTW, wonderful and tremendously helpful site! thanks a lot PapaJohn) I came to realize that it is a matter of the format. I'm capturing videos as MPEG2, and WMM won't read them, so to speak. So I followed what PapaJohn says in his Newsletter # 50 on how to convert them into AVI files. Downloaded GSpot, VDubMod, and PanasonicDVcodec. But when I tried to open the file with VDubMod, it wouldn't, and an error message came up: "MPEG Import filter: invalid pack at position 3: marker bit not set; possibly MPEG-2 stream." I then went to GSpot to render it (whatever that is). I won't transcribe the whole output of GSpot now (I have it at hand, though), suffice to say that the Status came up as "Rendering successful", and the first line of the log says: "DirectShow claims to be able to play the file", again, whatever that means. I tried to use VDubMod with another file, one I had no problems with as it was captured by WMM, and it worked as in a textbook: resizing, selecting PanasonicDV codec, saving, viewing, etc. Then again, I understand that WMM is not your first choice to capture analog videos, right? Any insight? Tag: help with combining clips Tag: 46556

    - Use dig camera to view 8mm tapes? I am so new to this. I keep coming up with more questions. I have a new Sony TRV-280 dig. handycam. My old one which used the Hi8 8mm tapes, no longer works. I want to turn those tapes into DVD eventually. I keep seeing I should just by a recorder. However, I recently discovered that my new camcorder will not playback the regular hi8 or 8mm tapes. How can I even watch my old tapes now if I cannot playback on my new camcorder let alone record them. AND, is it even possible to make the DVDs w/ the computer and Camera, not the recorder? Thanks!

    - Blue Screen, no movie!? I have a funny feeling the answer to this question will have to do with that thing you call a firewire. I am assuming I don't have one. (I have no idea what it is.) But I will go on to be sure anyway... I record a video on my sony digital handycam. When I try to use MM2.1, I click capture movie. The timer on the computer screen is going, but my camera doesn't seem to be. I stop the capture and save the movie. But there is nothing but a blue screen. No video/movie or sound. However, when I keep my camera in record mode, you can see on the computer what my camera sees. You know, live video, not recorded. So my question is, why, after I go through the capture process, is there no movie? I can click play and everything, but all there is is a blue screen. I have tried using the software that came with the camera, Picture Package 1.5, but it is not compatable with my philips DVD+-RW. That claims there is no cd in the drive when in fact there is. Can anyone of you fabulous computer smarties help me out? Thanks! Julie Tag: help with combining clips Tag: 46548

    - No Audio Capture Using Movie Maker 2.1. Having a common problem - no audio capture, but video works just fine. System Info: Windows XP Pro, SP2. 1GB RAM, 2.93 Ghz processor, 270GB worth of free space. Transferring video from old GE VCR. 4 RCA jacks in all - 1 pair audio/video out, 1 pair audio/video in. Using ATI Theater 550 Pro video card. Card has jacks for coax from source (in this case, VCR). Also has a jack for accepting connection from ATI dongle (dongle holds S-video, 3 RCA jacks..red, yellow, white). Coax runs from VCR to coax jack on back of ATI Theater card. S-video not possible; no s-video jack on VCR. Have yellow RCA jack from video out on vcr to yellow in jack on ATI dongle. Video works fine... Sound is the issue (sound works great in all other areas...dvd play, mp3, etc). From audio out jack on VCR to any of the other two possible connections on ATI dongle...no sound. I am following up with ATI as well, but wanted to ask here as well...maybe it's something simple that I am overlooking, and other folks can point to the connection error I am making. Thanks!

    - Deleting MovieMaker How do I get this thing off my system? Its a work machine and a test box with a small hard drive; I need the disk space back. but if I delete it the files just magically reappear after half a minute or so. I thought it might be System Restore putting them back so I turned that off, but they still resurrect automatically every time I try to delete them. Yet its not an installed program or an installed Windows component so it doesn't seem to have a clear uninstall path other than delting the files... Tag: help with combining clips Tag: 46529

    - Final Movie Resolution I have starting using MM recently by downloading some footage in the highest setting allowed. However, when I am putting the movie together and veiwing clips in the small viewing window all looks well, but if I enlarge the screen to full size, the video content loses it high resolution to a much lower quality and looks blurred/out of focus. This also transfers through to the final DVD copy? I have viewed the video content on my TV, direct from the camera, and the quality is fine and as it should be. Does anyone have any ideas why it seems to be losing it's quality through the transfer process. I am using a Firewire/1394 cable. Tag: help with combining clips Tag: 46480

    - Audio Problems I have an analog video camera. I plugged in all the wires properly, but when I go to capture video, there is only video, no sound. In the pull down menu for audio devices, there are two options: Realtek AC97 Audio, and Conexant Falcon Audio Capture. With the Realtek AC97 Audio option, I can select the audio input source, such as Line In, Line In 2, Mono mix, ect. I've tried all these options and none of them produce audio. The video capture device is called Conexant Falcon II NTSC Video Capture, so it would make sense that the audio device would be Conexant Falcon Audio Capture. When I select Conexant Falcon Audio Capture, no options for audio input source are given. But on the screen before the video capture, when I click next the screen freezes and will do nothing. As soon as a click around a few times, it says Not Responding and I have to Ctrl Alt Delete out of the program. I've tried doing this multiple times, and have rest the computer, but it keeps happening. I'm extremley frustrated, what should I do?! Tag: help with combining clips Tag: 46454
