    - Problem Saving A Edited Clip Trying to learn video terminology. I edit a clip properly. The trim line is at the proper spot. I split or cut and save the new clip. I know that split and cut are 2 different actions. Tried both-No luck. What I don't understand is: When I get out of MM2 and then go back, why does the original full clip show up instead of the edited clip? Example: Play clip to remove commerical. Commerical cut or split. New clip saved. Get out of program and later restart. The commerical is still there. 1) What am I doing wrong? 2) What happens to the clip I saved?

    - best way to store an avi file for later use After using movie maker 2 to create an avi file for home movies, I have created a DVD using Sonic my DVD for watching on TV. The original avi file which took my raw video footage plus my edits is now on my computer taking up space. In the past I have just erased that video. I now find that I would like to use some of that video footage in creating another video and I can retrieve my original VHS tapes and, using my DV camera, digitalize them and input into my computer, essentially repeating what I did the first time. I am wondered what other solutions there are to saving my edited avi file so I do not need to go back to VHS tapes. I know I can put the file back onto DV tape and then if I need a clip or something i can get at it - but it is a bit tedious I suppose. I was wondering if I could compress the avi file in some way that I could store an hour or more of it on a dvd so that i can pull off the file, restoring it to avi, should I need it again on my computer. I suppose this gets into some sort of compressed file type but perhaps once you convert out of an avi file you cannot revert and I do not know whether the compressed file types have enough quality to be used to make a DVD for viewing on TV.. I had thought of some backup program that would compress the file and allow me to restore it, but I am not sure if that is workable. I have read a little but enough to know all file compression programs for video are "lossy" and so I wonder what is the best approach. The DV tape - will that hold up over time - as long or as short as analog VHS tape - and is that the most economical solution. An external hard drive would be cost prohibitive I think given the growing video footage. What other suggestions do you have? Although myDVD uses open video format and allows for some editing directly from DVD, it does not really let you easily get at the original files and so might be limiting thanks alan Tag: not indexed and cannot....media file editor dosent work either Tag: 42505

    - Window Movie maker 2.1 I have a Dell pc, and had to reformat and reinstall Windows xp sp1. I did have Windows Movie Maker 2, but after I reinstalled xp, the 1st edition apears on Windows. I can't figure out how to get the new version (the one I had). Luckly I did copy my hard drive to another hard drive, so I can attempt to run it from there. But it does work (running off other hard drive). Help...how can a update from 1 to what I had? Or make Windows delete version 1, so I can copy 2 into it...

    - AVI to AVI If you save a movie as a DV-AVI in WMM2 and then reimport back into WMM is there any loss of quality. I understand going from WMM back to a camera it maintains the quality can the same be said from WMM to WMM? Here is the why I am asking the question. When I save to DV-AVI, I am getting some audio pops on scene changes when I use a Fade transition to go one from one scene to another (but not every Fade transition). I checked Papa John's site and followed his and others' suggestions about not using MP3 for the additional audio track. So I converted the MP3 to WMA, same result; I converted the MP3 to WAV, same audio pops. I then removed the secondary audio track altogether and resaved as a DV-AVI and I still get the audio pops. I checked the original footage and there are no pops in the audio, they are only there when I save to AVI from WMM and obviously remain there when I convert to MPEG and burn to DVD Could the dreaded 27th frame problem be rearing its ugly head on my audio? Also, another odd thing; I imported the AVI file, without the secondary audio track, into a copy of Premiere Elements and I heard the "spikes" in the audio track. Yet, when I reimport the AVI back into WMM I don't hear the audio pops. Any ideas or thoughts ? Thanks, PJ Tag: not indexed and cannot....media file editor dosent work either Tag: 42499

Movies can be edited and saved and then viewed in media player but the preview monitor does not work. The preview monitor says "stopped" and flickers a little that's it.

    - HELP! WMM is DRIVING ME NUTS! OK, so I see that a lot of people have had the same problems as me but none of the solutions have worked for me. I have scoured PJ's site and this NG but WMM is still crapping out on me. I had the problem of it crashing as soon as I start it up and I finally narrowed it down to renaming qedit.dll. Oddly enough, if I renamed it to qedit.dll.bad it still crashed, if I named it qeditbad.dll WMM would open (although I did receive an error message from DirectX 9 saying that changing that file name may make my system unstable). I also uninstalled anything that had anything to do with transitions that I could find but intervideo. I did rename the dir for intervideo and WMM would still not load. The only thing that would let it load was to rename qedit.dll. OK, so now WMM is loaded and it lets me capture video from my camcorder (44 min video) and when it comes time to import the vid into the working space, i get "<filename>.wmv could not be imported. Class not registered". WMM will not import any file into the working space. PLEASE HELP! Tag: not indexed and cannot....media file editor dosent work either Tag: 42480

    - transitions Hi, I am a high school art teacher who is trying to help a student make a stop motion animation. Our first 50 frames are black. The next frames are part of our stop motion animation. We would like to put a video transition between the black frames and the first frames of the animation. When we drag the transition down and try to place it between the frames, we get the "ghostbuster circle with the slash" and can't drop it. What are we doing wrong?

    - OT but hopeful someone can help. Recently bought a Sony Mini DV camcorder. Perfect picture quality in most respects but one. Taking video of a kids stage show it was mostly OK except for when spotlights were at a certain part of the stage the resultant video was overbright and "flared". Have gone through the camera manual hoping maybe there was some setting I could use to avoid this but couldn't find anything. Has anyone come across this and knows a solution. It would be better if it could be corrected at source but if not can it be corrected afterwards, using MM or anything else. -- Kenny Cargill Tag: not indexed and cannot....media file editor dosent work either Tag: 42473

    - Re: six hours of .wmv on a DVD? Jerry, All I am trying to do, as I explained, is put six hours of low- quality video on a DVD and play it in a DVD player, with a menu to allow selection of up to 14 different segments. I'm sure I've seen references to doing this, but I have not been successful in finding the references again. You said I should review the help files. MyDVD speaks to the fact that up to 440 minutes of MPEG-1 can be recorded to a DVD if Dolby Audio is used and not transcoded. However there doesn't seem to be a way to do that if the source file is .wmv format. Cari said to burn as a data DVD to test the player. How do I get a menu to work with the DVD player if all I do is burn an MPEG-1 file as data? What is the required DVD file structure? The convert query at videohelp.com doesn't find any answers for the WMV to MPG conversion selection. Jay -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: six hours of .wmv on a DVD?

How do I save the resulting video in anything other than the movie maker file extension. The .wmv extension would be nice so other poeple can open the file if I send it to them. Thanks for your help pk Tag: not indexed and cannot....media file editor dosent work either Tag: 42385

    - Importing files without index?? I have downloaded an old newsreel from the internet and want to import it into movie maker. However everytime I try it tells me that it cannot open the file because it is not indexed. How can I index the file?? Also, when I play the file in movie player I can't fast forward or rewind, I have to go back to the begining of the film. Are these problems linked?

    - Creating collage of stills in movie Is there a function or technique I can use to create a movie sequence that shows a collage of stills? I have a set of still photos and want them to appear seemingly randomly overlaying each other on parts of the screen in rapid succession. Any ideas would be greatly welcome!

    - Animated Movie using Movie Maker 2 I'm trying to create a simple animated feature using, hopefully, Movie Maker 2. What I need help with is moving a graphic within the frame. For example, let's say that there is a static background image and I want to move a small graphic across this background image. These images would be hand drawn, say in gif/png/jpeg format. If it's possible, how would I go about do that? Thanks in advance. Tag: not indexed and cannot....media file editor dosent work either Tag: 42382
