    - Movie Maker Wizard. Kill it? How? I am trying to save a movie for the web using the best fit option. I have done this successfully several times, but now, instead of the wizard detecting that I do not have a video hosting provider and allowing me to save the movie to a folder in my computer, The Wizard will not let me save unless I select a hosting provider called Neptune something or other??!!. I have no intention of signing up with a video hosting provider, and plan to FTP the movies to my webserver. What can I do to overcome this problem. Is there anyway of killing the wizard?

    - AVI-file probleme When I try to capture a video, in Windows Movie Maker 2, from my Canon MV3i everything works until itâ??s time to save the clip. I get an error message saying, â??Filname.AVI was not possible to import. The chosen file is not valid or brokenâ??. (All error messages in this text are translated from Swedish, maybe not the same wording as in the English error message) But the file is still there, saved. If I try to import an already saved file I got an error message saying, â??Filname.AVI can not be imported. The chosen file is not valid or brokenâ??. I have not had these problems with the AVI-files in media player etc in windows 2000. If I try to open an AVI-file with Media Player (v.9) I got an error message saying, â??It was not possible to load the source filter for this fileâ??(error code 0x80040241). I can use the files in Premiere 6.5 so they are not broken. I have used many of the AVI-files with W2000 so I know that they are OK. I canâ??t import these files, with error message in WMM, in Premiere (error message: the file is of an unsupported type I have used Adobe Premiere 6.0 with Windows 2000 before, without these problems. When I update to Windows XP professional and Premiere 6.5 these problems occurs. I do a mistake first and tried to use Pinnacle DV200 to capture before I find out that it not was XP compatible. I uninstall Pinnacle DV200 and have used RegCleaner to remove everything. Have still an Icon in the Control Panel named â??Pinnacle System Controlâ?? but when I open it I get an error message saying, â??No valid Pinnacle Systems products were detectedâ??. How to delete it I will now try to run the Premiere 6.5 alone. That works but I have a stuttering pictures in the windows in the program, not in the camera monitor. When I print the captured video to the tape again it works well but the windows in Premiere donâ??t works well. The result is OK but it is not so good to work with these stuttering windows I have tried with another Fire wire capture card but same problems remains. I have updated the system with all applicable updates in windows update My computer has a Pentium III processor with 512 MB RAM and an extra fast hard disk My question is if all these problems are linked together? What to do I hope you can understand my â??Swedishâ?? Englis Movie Maker in Sweden Tag: locks up when trying to burn to CD Tag: 11786

    - Sound goes AWOL when saving to computer Sorry if I am asking a question that is a common one, but I have searched through both Papajohn.org and googled on this without finding any solution to my problem: The sound on my projects goes missing when saving the movie to the computer... I have sound in the preview, the sound get transferred to my computer and everything looks and sounds OK until I play the finished file. This usually happens after me inserting text onto a clip, but the sound might also disappear without me finding any reason. I usually save the file using the 2.1 local playback setting, but this happens using other settings too. Any tips for this? Christian Holthe Tag: locks up when trying to burn to CD Tag: 11783

    - Audio pops at cuts and transitions This subject has come up several times on this NG. I was doing some background reading on the DV format and came across the following paragraph: Although the format supports high quality sound, DV's audio is unlocked. This non-synchronous design means that a specific number of audio samples are not rigidly synchronized to each video frame. If one frame is off a couple samples, you must insert a short mute at any audio edit or risk inducing an audible click. (source: 213.84.219.66/Documentatie/dv_explained.pdf ) It made me wonder if the phenomenon is a result of the way audio is encoded within the DV format, and the way MM2 handles it? I know that the MM2 edit space is not the full 25fps (PAL), but something more like 12.5fps (or 15fps NTSC), so I wondered if this could somehow lead to the audible pops that I hear at cuts and transitions. Any thoughts? Jake Tag: locks up when trying to burn to CD Tag: 11768

    - Can't pull clips into storyboard My son created a storyboard in Video Maker. Somehow, he's done something so that all the clips in the storyboard now show up as red X's. If I right click on these clips and look at Properties, I find that they have filenames and are located in the Collections area of the application. But the software for some reason no longer can pull the clips into the storyboard. My son may have inadvertently deleted a handful of clips that were part of the storyboard, but the majority of the clips can be found in Collections. It seems the program is not able connect the storyboard filenames with their actual location. I don't know what to do. Help!! Greg Tag: locks up when trying to burn to CD Tag: 11757

    - changing brightness/contrast I know that to change the brightness/contrast of a video I need to configure the capture device settings before I capture the video. The help file says that the first screen that should appear when I go to the video capture wizard is a list of devices and from here I can configure my camera to change the brightness and contrast settings. However, it detects my camera automatically and when I go to the video capture wizard it skips over the first dialog box where I can configure the capture device and goes straight to the place where I choose a location and file name!

    - Recording video and writing to DVD I need some guidance, I'm pretty new at this. I will be recording video, about 20 to 30 hrs worth and ultimately I want to burn it to a dvd (multiple dvds) so that it can be played back either on a TV or a computer (the image has to be fairly large). I'm not sure what the best process is but I'm thinking I can use MovieMaker to record AVI files, then I'm not sure if I should burn vcd files, or mp3 files (I don't fully understand the advantages/disadvantages of one over the other). I've never done either one before and I'm looking for the simplest process that maintains the audio/video streams in sync, and creates a large TV size (or nearly TV size) image on playback. I'd also like to be able to play back on either a TV screen or using a PC. Thanks, Tag: locks up when trying to burn to CD Tag: 11729

    - import of mp2 format I am having a problem importing a movie that is in mp2 format that I created with my ATI software. I can play the movie back fine in the ATI player, but if I try and play it in Windows Media Player or import into Movei Maker it says File is empty. If I try and play it in WMP then I get a error and asks me if I want to send a report to Microsoft. I am thinking that possibly I need a codec, but am not sure. I have checked to see that my system is updated using the Windows Updates, but I have everything. I also made sure the media player is up to date as well. Can anyone give me a answer why this isn't working? I can import if the format is mpg, but I need the better compression rate. Thanks! Tag: locks up when trying to burn to CD Tag: 11711

And a window opens and I can see this file is listed as; Video Files (*.mpg, ".avi). However, unfortunately since this isn't a finished product I have continued to work with the video and have no idea how to save it in this "Video file" section. The newer versions of the video I am making and saving are called a "windows movie maker project."

    - MM does not recognize capture card I have a Pinnacle AV/DV capture card which I got with Studio Deluxe package. The card is a FireWire card that has a breakout box to capture analog video. This capture card works and is recognized in Studio 8 software as a valid capture device, but when I try to run MM2 and capture video with it, it does not show up in the list of available capture devices. The only thing MM2 sees as a capture device is my Veo webcam.

I have a picture slideshow "movie" that I'm trying to
finish by burning to a CD but everytime I start the
process it freezes/gets lodged in the "creating movie"
processing stage. I also tried simply saving to my
computer but that wouldn't work either, says I don't have
the room (which doesn't make any sense either). Anyone
know what could be the cause or have an idea on how to
bypass the problem? I wondered if the file was too large
for the CD but its a 128mb file being saved to a 700mb CD
so I don't think that's the problem...but I'm totally
stumped.

Can anyone please please offer any guidance??? Thanks so
