    - mswmm file structure Made a 1.2 gig project. Some how the collection that constitutes the project file does not load-nor is there a wmv file with the same name as the project file. looks like it's feeding on an earlier version of the same project. The project runs ok but I can't do conversions on it. System crashed several times during the build-I'm not underpowered-3mhz P4 w/1gig memory and 200gig disk.

    - Colors are all messed up Ever since I updated my WMM to version 2.1 colors on any windows media or mpeg that I watch are all messed up. They are very bright and runny, hard to see what is going on. Any .mov file looks just fine. Thinking it just might be my media player I tried playing windows media files through quick time and they still look bad. Thoughts? Tag: REQ: MM via XP via inspiron 5100 to DVD? Tag: 47577

    - Movie is pixelated I have three Photo Story 3 movie clips at 640 x 480 that I'm combining into a WMM2 movie using WMM2 titles and transitions. The Photo Story WMV files look great, but the resulting WMM2 WMV (640 x480) file is very noticably pixelated and jerky. The file size is 2.7MB. If I the output movie is saved as High Quality (small) the defects are gone, but the file size is 10MB. What's going on, how can I correct the situation and create a quality 640 x 480 movie with WMM2 ? Thanks, -- GrandpaB Tag: REQ: MM via XP via inspiron 5100 to DVD? Tag: 47575

    - video capture device not detected I am using a Sony digital camcorder and when I try to capture video using a USB cable, I get the following message: A video capture device was not detected. Verify that a device is turned on and connected properly, and then try again. When using a firewire cable, the camera is found right away. This is fine for home use because my computer has a firewire port, but for the classroom that wants to use Movie Maker, those computers only have USB. What can I do? Mike O.

    - Finishing and saving to CDROM -- problem w/ virtual memory I have a slideshow on Movie Maker that I need to finish and save to CD. I have a new, blank CD w/ plenty of space -- per the program the slideshow should take about 34 MB of space and the CD has approx. 700. Every time I try to save it, I get an error message on my that my virtual memory is too low and that Windows is going to increase it.

    - Free hosting sites... I know that Microsoft offers a few options for video hosts. Is there such an animal as a free hosting server? I don't mind ads on the hosting site if I can have 1000+ people click to see my little reflections without paying lots of moolah that I don't have at the moment... What about some of the free web hosting sites out there? Does anyone know if there are free sites that allow video or sound files to be uploaded? Thanks for your help. Deb -- Successful Spirit!

    - Total Novice.... Hi all, I've just discovered Movie Maker and have been having a blast with it. I have created a reflection that I would like to share with my mailing list and found PapaJohn's advice on the setting email size invaluable. It is no longer the size of a stamp, but it does take a while to load... I have two questions: Is there a way that I can send the movie to people's inboxes without it taking a huge amount of time to load and still look great. 2. How would I go about uploading it to my ftp server? My learning curve is always sooooooo steep. *S* Thanks. Deb Tag: REQ: MM via XP via inspiron 5100 to DVD? Tag: 47552

    - Different Files... Different Players I've been working on a custom sized video inset for the main page of my website... replacing a thick horizontal black line with a custom video sized at 800x24 pixels... I started down the path of making it a movie... but then thought a story would be smaller and open quicker... my rule of thumb being that story files are only 10% the size of movies. This exercise is giving me some things to think about, and I'd appreciate any of your comments.... Here are 4 files... a Photo Story 3 file that is the smallest file size I can make it without taking too much of a quality hit, and then 3 movies made in MM2 from a high quality story (580K file size for a 7 second story). All are made by using custom profiles to make a video file of 800x24 pixel dimensions. http://www.papajohn.org/Newsletters/90-PhotoStory3.wmv - 202KB http://www.papajohn.org/Newsletters/90-MM2-V7.wmv - 76 KB http://www.papajohn.org/Newsletters/90-MM2-V8.wmv - 73 KB http://www.papajohn.org/Newsletters/90-MM2-V9-PoorQuality.wmv - 51 KB Here are the tradeoffs I'm seeing when viewing the website page on my computers... The PS3 file looks good on all of my systems, but won't be visible on Macs and Firefox browsers... and the file size is 3 to 4 times larger than the movies.... The WMV V7 and V8 movie files look good on my Windows 98 and XP computers, but don't play on my Vista system. On Vista they download and sit there as a big black bar. The WMV V9 movie file plays on all of my systems, including Vista.... but the quality took such a nosedive that it's not suitable for use. At the moment, the website page is using the WMV-V8 movie file... I'm taking the hit with Vista and hoping it'll work on other systems. About viewing these files in players.... the PS3 story shows correctly proportioned in WMP10 and in Vista's WMP11.... the movies play distorted to standard 4:3 aspect ratio in WMP10 in XP, and look fine in WMP11 in Vista. I'd appreciate any and all feedback about.... - does the embedded WMV8 movie file on the main page of my website... http://www.papajohn.org ... play in your browser? what system and browser are they? - do the story and movie files play in your players? - do they play with the right aspect ratio, or are they mis-shaped to suit? -- 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: REQ: MM via XP via inspiron 5100 to DVD?

    - Exported movie is not interlaced Hello, I have just spent about 4 hours creating a movie with Windows Movie Maker, and overall I am very impressed. But now when I come to save the movie the resultant file is not interlaced any more. This occurs either exporting to DV-AVI or to WMV. I want to create a DVD to watch on a TV so I need interlaced output. Am I doing something wrong or it this a limitation of the program? My steps are easily reproduced 1) View imported DV-AVI file in a DirectShow application such as ZoomPlayer using FFDShow codec. Interlaced frames are visible 2) Generate simple Movie with WMM (one scene) and export to DV-AVI. 3) View exported file with same application. Interlaced frames have been blended. Any suggestions welcome. Otherwise I am going to have to redo the entire editing process in a different application. Anthony Tag: REQ: MM via XP via inspiron 5100 to DVD? Tag: 47544

    - confused and ready to give in... Alright...I have imported all my clips without trouble. I have my movie completely made including text, transitions and credits. I simply need to know is there anything special I need to know about my movie before I burn it to DVD. Isn't WMM a tool to help you create a DVD movie from digital clips? Does it matter what format my clips are in? Everything plays fine, but my final saved project will not play in windows media player. Is this a sign of trouble ahead? Finally, once your movie is made...is there a general rule of thumb as to what kind of DVD you save your project on. In other words does WMM only create your DVD on one type of burnable DVD?

    - what media should I use.... I am trying to create a movie of my son who has just turned 1. I have a sony DVD player which accepts all DVD burned formats. The problem I am getting, is that I cannot seem to find a DVD to burn to. I have tried both DVD+R as well as DVD-RW. Neither seem to be working correctly. The sony player I have in my home works with DVD+RW, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+R DL, DVD-R. On my computer's drive I have 3 icons which read "compact disc rewritable high speed", "RW DVD+Rewritable", "DVD R/RW". So far I am frustrated. I have used CD_R's as well, and even though it says it has burned to the disc, I cannot play it in my DVD player. What can I do? The main reason I bought this software was so that I could transfer my digital video into a format I could play in personal home DVD players. Someone please help me. I have burned audio cds in the past, and am familiar with being sure I haven't over used disc space, and I have created the video easily with little trouble. I just can't burn the damn thing successfull, and it is getting expensive trying. $18.00 for a five pack of DVD-RWs that didn't fix my problem!? Tag: REQ: MM via XP via inspiron 5100 to DVD?

    - Movie Maker on a network.... I work at a school that has a LAN classroom. One of our teachers was working on a project for his class, a video montage of each student, each with narrations and back ground music, etc. He quickly became addicted to movie maker and soon had over a thousand source files, I'm not kidding, over a thousand. From those, he created close to 70 1-1:30 minute video clips - all to be spliced together into two videos. The total of the files before converting to mpeg2 was over 18GB. From the start of the project, we created and saved all projects on the main server's drives, accessing the projects from one of the teachers computers. Well, as you can imagine, doing all the rendering on one computer would have taken forever. So we figured that if we could run the projects of the teacher's computer from a network drive, we could do the same with the students computers. At any given time in the final days of the project, we were rendering up to six different video clips on six different computers accessing source files one network drive. To save network bandwidth, we rendered from the server to the desktop of the host, then when the rendering was complete for the day, we moved the finished .avi files back to the server. Originally we thought that it would be impossible because of all the trouble we'd read about moving projects from computer to computer but we had no problem. Anyway, thought I'd share this with you guys, 'cause it seemed interesting. Tag: REQ: MM via XP via inspiron 5100 to DVD? Tag: 47493

    - Audio skips on playback I have made a 6 minute movie with audio in MM2 and it plays back perfectly in the computer. I made a DVD with Sonic MyDVD and it skips a little on the audio part. Can you tell me what causes this? ( I saved the movie to DV-AVI file ) I plan to do a longer movie but hesitate due to the above reason. I need the audio to match the photos. On a longer movie does it just get worse and worse until it is totally off?
