    - Some parts not playing- please help! Hi. I would really appreciate someone helping me with this because i'm about to lose my mind! I've been trying to make this video using mostly wmv files& MPG files. Now i've made videos using WMM a MILLION times & never did I have this problem. I'd put some clips on there, and then when I would go to watch it back, either the sound won't play or it will freeze on one shot of the video, but the line would keep moving like its playing. Its really driving me insane & I was wondering if anyone knew what the problem was & how to fix it. Thank you so much. Tag: importing and capturing with WMM2.1 Tag: 54559

    - Thank you Decoder ! Thank you for all of you assitance in trying to get to the bottom of my JVC-DV issues. Unfortunately -- I am still in a holding pattern and may just break down and buy a Mac or a new Digital Video Recorder - in the meantime I have tapes of great family memories that I will need to take to a professional. : ( This is rather discouraging. I have caught the attention of a JVC tech and hope that they can help me - I actually forwarded all of the information you provided me to them and am still awaiting a reply. Again, Thank you!

    - DVD won't play Hoping someone can shed some light here.... I am creating a 'movie' using still photos with background music and need to burn to DVD. I've read much of what's out here for tips, but am still having problems getting the DVD to play. I am using Win XP, MM2, Sonic My DVD Here are my steps: 1. My Movie Maker 2 file (.mswmm) is complete, I choose 'Save to My Computer' in the Task Pane. 2. I choose DV-AVI (NTSC) as the movie setting. Click Ok, the computer does its thing. 3. Go to Sonic MyDVD, click get movies. Import the .avi file just created by Movie Maker. 4. When I preview the movie in Sonic, it's fine. Then I click burn, it goes through the encoding process and after about 15 minutes it spits the DVD out and says 'complete.' However, when I place this DVD in my DVD player (hooked to my TV), it just shows a disk with a question mark next to it. I also tried it in a DVD player at work and it says 'bad disk." Thinking the actual disk was bad, I tried again, but it still didn't work. I have also tried burning both DVD-R and DVD+R and both have the same results. I'm using Maxell brand. Can anybody please help? As far as I can tell, I'm following the steps properly, but it just doesn't work! This is for an anniversary party this weekend and I'm stuck! Thank you!

    - TIMELINE FREEZE/WMM SHUT DOWN AND SAVING PROBLEM Help very welcome with 2 problems: 1 Timeline freezes, seemingly at random and I have to shut down and reopen, often every 5 mins or so. Or I get message saying WMM has encountered a problem and has to shut down. I am importing Quicktime files from my digital camera, converting to .wmv with Digital Media Converter for editing in WMM. Movies are less than 3 mins duration with a few transitions, titles and credits, and an audio/music track. 2 When I save either to hard disk or CD, movie plays back in psychedelic colours, as if given a special effect, rather than real colours. Can solve this on hard disk by converting back to avi, and playing in Quicktime player, but need CD to play with ~Windows Media Player so other people can watch on their PCs/tvs etc. (at least I think I do.) many thanks corinna10 Tag: importing and capturing with WMM2.1 Tag: 54520

    - Reloading MM2 Hi, it's necessary for me to reload my OS (Windows XP - Media Center) and restore applications back to factory defaults. I'm afraid of losing work I did in MM2. Besides saving my MM2 projects, AVI files and pictures I used in my movies, whatelse would you recommend me copying/backing up? My collections file? Are there other files that hold data or settings that I might need if I want to edit or recreate my movies? Thank you for your assistance! Tag: importing and capturing with WMM2.1 Tag: 54519

    - AVI Compression and Quality Hi All I am trying to put together a demo for a trade-show which will consist of a movie (WMF) produced by WMM. The movie will play continuously using Windows Media Player in full screen mode. I am using a freeware tool called CamStudio which allows me to capture screen activity (region or full screen) and save it to an AVI file. I am doing this in 'logical sections' so I have multiple AVI files. In WMM I insert each AVI clip I as well as some still images with a graphic and some text to create my storyboard/movie. Seems a simple requirement but I am having serious quality problems. When I view the AVI files in CamStudio's internal viewer the resolution/quality matches what I originally saw on the screen during the capture process. Similarly when I view the AVI in Windows Media Player the resolution/quality once again matches the original screen contents. When I view the imported AVI clip in WMM the quality is disgusting it is the same even when I create the movie to hard disk (with highest quality selected). I have a 3.0GHz Intel with 2GB RAM, 256MB nVidia GEForce 6600GT graphics adapter and a 250GB dedicated 'scratch drive'. In CamStudio I am selecting quality of 100% and have tried the following compression codecs (Iam unable to set no compression). Cinepak Codec by Radius Intel IndeoÂ® Video 4.5 Intel IYUV codec Microsoft Video 1 Any ideas to my small dilemma would be most welcome. -- Thanx in advance, Craig Tag: importing and capturing with WMM2.1 Tag: 54516

    - audio problems when capturing fron an analog camera Can someone explain how one can select the sound card stereo mix output as the audio source when capturing a home movie from a composite/ s-video analog capture card ( only has S-video or composite ports on it). I don't have the luxury of a second camera with firewire passthrough capabilities. I have read where one can opt to select the sound card as the audio source with a capture card like the one described so that the analog camera can have the audio outputs fed into the sound card line input and the video input through the capture card. Makes sense, and would seem to be a lot less trouble than recording the audio separately and trying to sychonize lips to audio in movie maker. Tag: importing and capturing with WMM2.1 Tag: 54514

    - Movie Maker takes up 100% as soon as I drag a clip to the storyboa I have been using MM2 since it introduced. Recently, it started to feel very sluggish. I am using MM2 v2.1, the latest one. I found out that as soon as I drag any movie clip (in wmv format) to the story board, CPU usage will jump and stay in 100% all the time, causing the sluggish. When that occured, if I played the clip from the storyboard for a brief moment and stopped, sometime the CPU usage would go back to idle. Any clue what's going on, codec conflict? Yes, my computer is fully optimized. (no disc fragmentation...whatsoever). And MM2 was running fine until last few months... Any insight? Tag: importing and capturing with WMM2.1 Tag: 54503

    - Moviemaker 2 file formats 1. Is there a cross reference online somewhere that ties a specific file extension or file type category to the plain language descriptions that Movie Maker uses in the file type option list under Save to Computer? 2. Is there a content criteria ( ie no bad language or no refrences to competitor products) for posts to this forum that would cause any posts or replies I have made to be deleted from the forum? My originl question never did recieve a posted answer, and checking back I also see that some of my replies to others have been removed as well. Tag: importing and capturing with WMM2.1 Tag: 54500

Now when I load it, I immediately get a message that reads something like, "Encountered a problem and needs to close."

We have not put any actual video on it at all (moving pictures) what other video programs if any are similar to movie player? I mean, we like what it does so far, but it just will not do it enough without crashing to be useful. we tried changing files ending with .ax (like it says on papajohn site) but couldnt find any using search, we have lots of memory.

    - Further to Unable to save movie to DV Tape Post Have reinstalled video editor S/W. Reinstalled all Canon S/W for the camera. Reinstalled IEEE 1394 Firewire drivers. Enlarged disk partitions and separated OS from project files even more. Increased pagefiles. Found evidence that MS had done an update to some of the files mentioned in some of the capture posts here, so also went through the procedure of rolling back to SP1 drivers and renaming cabs. No Luck. Tried using restore, but the limitations on number of restore points, and MS's pension for creating checkpoints after checkpoints, the previous restore points where it was working were not available to try that either. Tried two different firewire cards in each of two different slots of the PC as well as three different known good cables. Any suggestions would be a help. At the very least rest assured that next time I do updates ( always manually) I will know that I have to go through anything important to me to test and verify that everything is working right after, " before" the infamous automatic works right out of the box, update and restore processes trash something I need to fall back to. Possibly a more detailed list of all the modules or drivers that an update will affect would be a help in deciding whether one wants to proceed with it.

    - video & audio static upon capture from Sony handycam I am having a problem on a laptop computer when I go to capture video. I do not have the problem on other (laptop & desktop) computers with the exact same hardware (camera, firewire card, cable). When I go to capture video there is a ton of audio & video static. I have troubleshooted to death with Gateway, even sent my computer back to them convinced there was an issue with the firewire card slot. They returned it to me claiming there was nothing wrong with the cardslot. Gateway is suggesting there is an issue with the software. I have a new Sony digital handy cam, I am using a new Belkin 1394 firewire card and cable. I am using the DV-AVI setting (I've also tried other settings, but get the same static) to capture.

    - Unable to SAVE movie to Mini DV tape Movie created as DV AVI file NTSC 720x480 saves as disk file and allows editing in a project using it as a clip. Saving to Canon DV camcorder Mini DV tape does not work. It sets up everything, including putting the camcorder in REC mode. The tape advances in REC mode but no movie is output to DV camera or preview monitor. Captures work OK using same camera and IEEE1394 card. The problem exists on both a Win XP Dell laptop as well as a Win 2K desktop. Both have plenty of memory and disk space and pagefiles set to 3 X RAM (was 2X RAM) but neither setting here makes any difference. Other NLE programs in these boxes experience exactly the same problem; ie UNA to save to a DV tape. Although recorder is controlled properly video/audio is not output topreview monitor or camcorder tape. On a third PC with more NLE's installed a similar problem exists, except that one of them actually does work properly to save to tape; the others Pinnacle 9 & 10.5 Plus, Movie Maker 2 , AVID FreeDV and Ulead VS 7.0 don't but Ulead VS 10 does. This leads me to believe their is a common OS file or library that is corrupt of changed that apparently needs repair . Any Suggestions ???? Disks are dual 250 GB drives and dual 80's in the second desktop so space and memory are not a problem. It always did work previously, and am not aware of any particular install or change that might have affected this, which is why I am looking for some filenames to check or replace due to corruption on power failures etc. Any help would be appreciated; thanks Tag: importing and capturing with WMM2.1 Tag: 54429

    - Video capture results in too fast replay & records noise back to t When I capture video the result is very fast play. I have turned off the filters in Movie Maker but didn't correct. I also tried to capture in different modes. What's really strange is when I repeat this process a few times my original Hi 8 tape ends up with background noise. I thought tape may have been bad so I tried another tape and ended up with same result. I have a Toshiba Qosmio (Centrino) and a Sony Digital 8 HandyCam. Any help I can get would be greatly appreciated. My son just performed his first show (Rock band) and I wanted to post clips. My only result is fast (probably double speed or so) and now my original tape has noise on it and when I capture it records with noise. BTW, anyway of getting noise off of original tape.
