There is NO CD BURNER
I finished my first slide show. Added music, titles,
effects, the works. Plays great. Save it to hard disk.
Tried to put it on a CD and the program insists that there
is no CD in my burner. WRONG. There is. Changed CD.
Re-Started Windows XP. Nothing, same message.
Read instructions to remove "imapi.exe" Such file is NOT
in my computer.
Tried to burn a DVD. Nothing. The software does not "see"
that there is a DVD in the burner either.
I have the latest version of the program 2.0.3312.0
I just got my new computer with Windows XP last week and
just today tried the Movie Maker. Am I missing a patch?
Thanks for info

Cannot Save a Movie
I just finished editing my movie but when I go to create it nothing happens. "Please wait while we create your movie" appears but it doesn't go any farther. Also when I try to play the entire storyboard it doesn't play. I put all the clips together without editing them and the storyboard played fine and the movie would save. All I have done to the clips for my movie is shorten them and made transitions, why is this effecting whether it will save or not? Tag: hola Tag: 18434

Movie maker keeps shutting down
I have a problem with movie maker shutting down. I have lowered the acceleration setting to 0, I have renamed the codec's - nothing seems to work.

Saving Movie File
I made a slideshow with still photos, transitions and audio tracks. When I save the project as a movie, it reads as 125MB. Then after it burns onto the hard drive, in my video folder it reads as 62MB. When I play the movie back on Windows Media Player, the audio runs through the entire sequence. However, about half way through the slideshow the pictures freeze and stop coming. I have tried re-saving half a dozen times. I cannot figure out why the project is not saving the entire slideshow, but rather just all the music and half the still pictures. Please help! I'm trying to make an end of the year video for my high school students and the last days of school are fastly approaching. Please email if you can: eparker78@msn.com

Importing music
The Movie Maker will not import music from my Microsoft

Cannot copy to cd or transfer to dv camera
I made a video using pictures of my daughter starting from when she was born to now for her graduation video. When I tried burning to cd, only some of the pictures were there but all of the music selections were there. And when I tried transfering to my sony dv camera to put on tape it says there is not enough disk space. Apparently the pic's I scanned into the computer for the video's is taking up all of my disc space. My question is, is there an online storage place to put my video so I can burn to cd or transfer to my camera so I can record to tape. I am using Sony VIAO RS430G. Camera I am using is a Sony mini dv. Tag: hola Tag: 18391

Created my 1st slideshow with graphics files and audio on my HD. It all ran perfectly. I saved the project to my local HD.

This is also untrue. I am totally stumped.... Tag: hola Tag: 18373

Ok I need some help. I have used Adobe Photoshop album to make simple slideshows. I don't do anything to the photos except drag them to the desired position. However when I do the same with moviemaker2 which provides so much more extras, the slideshow is clearly not in focus. It looks just slightly out of focus. The photos are taken with a 6.0 meg Fuji camera and again I don't do anything like resize them or change them for Adobe so I fugured it should be the same for moviemaker2.

of the original audio track with music that I add in the
end for the recap. I discovered the Audio-levels option
but it seems to only allow me to have a certain blend of

entire movie. Not allowing me to splice where I want the

Complaint
Hello,
Mr Brown and Mr. Eddy. Please take this message as notice that I will be
complaining formally about one of your employee's a mr denny who uses the
honorific MS-MVP
If you look at all of his messages in this newsgroup over say the last
week you will find I am sure that his remarks are anything but helpful. At
least one remark is quite insulting.
I will be compiling a full list of his messages and messages from those
who seek to support him and detailing my complaint in writing by ordinary
post.
My purpose here is to pre-warn you of its arrival, so that if it does
not soon arrive on your desks you will be able to query where it is.
I am very unhappy with the way this newsgroup is administered and the
quality of some of your MVP's At least two of them seem to be employees of
your company. I find it very hard to believe that your company is happy to
employ people who advertise that they are your employees and MVP's and then
conduct themselves in the way they do
I once again make the remark that these MVP's have hardly covered
themselves in any form of glory, again, and ask, when will you deal with
them so that ordinary users can help others without being bombarded with
insults and inferences of being a liar?

Can't Save Movie to Local File
I'm experiencing an "all of the sudden" problem
saving a Movie File. I'm attempting to save it to "My
Computer" like I always do and then after completing the
wizard it waits a few minutes and indicates that it's
trying to write a Recordable CD format. At this point it
just sits there (i.e. no % progress) and the number of
minutes remaining is huge. I've been using Movie Maker
for over a year and this just started happening this
week. I've ensured that the save path is my local hard
drive and even tried saving to another hard drive in the
same system to see if that would work, but no luck. It's
also worth noting that I don't even have a Recordable CD
drive installed on the machine I'm using for this task.

Loud Sound As Audio Fades
In the movie that I'm making I use lots of audio/music clips (wav
files). In almost all cases I only use a portion of the music clip --
fading it in or out as the situation requires. On many of the clips
where I fade it out (before the actual clip ends) there is a loud
noise/squawk right at the very end, just after the fade. It sounds
terrible and readjusting the end of the clip makes no difference. It
doesn't happen of every clip but it does happen frequently.
Does anyone else have this same problem?
Is there a solution?
Thanks in advance.
Note: I'm playing my first MovieMaker project tomorrow (Saturday)
night for 150 people! The project is complete except for two loud
sqawks that I'd like to take out if I have the time.

TabletPC capture problem ? Any ideas ?
I have 2 laptop computers that I use.
I use an OranLink FireWire CardBus, that I move from laptop to laptop.
One has Win 2000 Pro and WinDV, for example, works great. Capture works
every time - no problems whatsoever.
My newer one runs XP Pro - it's a TabletPC from Toshiba (Portege 3500). I
have read that the TabletPC version of XP Pro includes SP1. My other laptop,
running Win 2000 Pro has all the current MS updates installed.
Here is my problem.
First off, my XP Pro laptop would not capture at all, so I started
investigating.
In desperation, I reinstalled XP Pro from the Toshiba recovery CDs and had
the unit in factory condition. Nothing else installed except for the
OrangeLink FireWire driver and WinDV.
With nothing else installed, WinDV captures well. Everything works great
then.
But if I install any or all of the recommend security patches from MS - and
there are several - capture is no longer possible.
It will start capturing for 3-5 seconds, WinDV freezes up and the camera
continues to play the footage.
I have tried and tried to install a select number of patches, but anyone of
them will cause the same problem.
I am unusure of the solution and have not really found the exact same
problem documented anywhere...
By the way, I did try other capturing software (Ulead, Pinnacle Studio and
Win MovieMaker 2) and all have the exact same problem.
Do you have any ideas ?

DVD Burners
Hello,
Yesterday I was at our local computer store and saw something I had been
told previously (Not in here) would never become available.
Sony have released a Dual Layer DVD burner that also supports both the "="
and "+" formats.....the even bigger surprise was the cost. UK £149 The
drive will hold up to 8.5GB which is perhaps 1.5hours of high quality DVD.
The Sales people could not tell me when the disks themselves would be in
store and they had no idea on their price.....but what marvelous news this
is. The draw back is they are new technology as far as we are concerned and
may not be a good buy for that reason.....
Anyway, if you are on the verge of buying a DVD burner, you might want to
consider one of these.

Best Wishes.....John Kelly
