    - How to playback on a DVD player Thanks papajohn. I finally did get my project burned to CD. Now I am wondering how I can get it to playback on a normal DVD player. If I am correct, a CD with images would still playback on a DVD player right? Does it have to be saved to a DVDR to playback on a DVD player or can I just use CDRs. I already tried using a CDR, but when I put it in my DVD player I it read: NO DISC. Is this just the fact that it needs to be on a DVDR or does there need to be some type of conversion program so it plays on home DVD players? Sorry to take up more newsgroup space; I'm still learning:-) Thanks again eparker78@msn.com Tag: How to make a film-menu? Tag: 18487

    - Movie Maker 2.1 I just added reference to version 2.1 on a couple pages of my website.... the new version is included in Windows Service Pack 2 and mentioned on a couple Microsoft website pages. So it's time to start talking about it. I don't have a link to download it separately from the Service Pack. The current download link still gives you version 2.0 -- PapaJohn Movie Maker 2 - www.papajohn.org Photo Story 2 - www.photostory.papajohn.org . Tag: How to make a film-menu? Tag: 18486

    - Images Freeze 1/2 way through playing I'm able to save in a high resolution (which I have to have for full screen), but when I play the video about halfway through the images freeze. Strangely enough the audio doesn't freeze. Has anyone else had this problem and figured out what to do? I'm running a fast machine with XP and two gigs of memory. Tag: How to make a film-menu?

    - Problem with installation. A while back I installed MM2 and after it was installed and it began updating my collection, an error occurred. When I got back into the program, MM2 was installed, but I don't have my collection and I only have 2 video effects (slow down, half and speed up, double) and I have no video transitions. Is there any way I can fix this? Thanks! Tag: How to make a film-menu? Tag: 18482

    - Difficlty Saving As Movie File. Hello everyone! I am experiencing a difficulty with my movie maker! I really need some assistance, please!! I created a slieshow with photos and audio. In the preview looks fantastic! But. I've saved the project as movie1.MSWMM on my computer but I can't save my project as a movie file to my computer, or burn on CD or send via E-mail or any other options... Anyway, I got this message saying "Cannot Complete the Save Movie Wizard, Your movie was not saved successfully" and â??Windows Movie Maker cannot save the movie to the specified location. Verify that the original source files used in your movie are still available, that the saving location is still available, and that there is enough free disk space available, and then try againâ?? Now I'd like to know why movie maker can't save the files as movie but only to MSWMM? I've tried everything. All my files are there, it just doesn't make any cents I tested, i made another two, and few of really short ones, and still doesn't work Do I maybe need to reinstall my movie maker? Or what do you thing it is? Thanks guys! PS. PapaJohn! I've visited your site, it's got everything and it's pretty good. But still didn't help me with "saving your movie"... :( Tag: How to make a film-menu? Tag: 18476

    - Analog capture and conversion..... Bought a Pinnacle Studio 8 product for analog capture from both VCR and Analog Camcorder. Did a LOUSY job from the very start. Pinnacle doesn't tell you that you need to buy a separate sound card to capture the audio, as thier software does not use the resident audio inputs from most computers (I've tried 2 different machines) so that was an ordeal Yesterday, successfully captured (with Pinnacle) a VCR tape. Used WMM to "convert" the file. Took HOURS (on a brand new high end machine). Video came out choppy and lousy. So.... Now I guess I'm gonna try capturing from VCR to my digital camcorder and try it that way. WMM SHOULD allow for capture through someone else's capture card OR.. Pinnacle should make the captured file into something that other programs can use and use and recognize. It doesn't. It makes a proprietary file type that only Pinnacle can recognize (and consequently burn to DVD) but that didn't work either. Got an "error" when trying to get Pinnacle to burn the DVD.... oh well I'm starting to think that maybe I should buy one of those new VCR/DVD burner combos and the heck with all this wasted time and effort. Bought so much hardware and spent SO much time that now I feel COMPELLED to try to do it.... : Sorry about the rant Steve Tag: How to make a film-menu? Tag: 18473

    - Codecs? I have spent a ton of hours on a presentation but can't get it to burn to a CD. All of these are jpeg pics that I am trying to transfer. So does that confirm they are not CODECS? I have no idea what that even is? I can burn a smaller version of the same pics but when I do this one (just under 1000 pics) and I try to save it hangs up at the window where it shows the % left and the estimated minutes remaining. I have a Pent 4 with 2.4 mhz and 1 gig of RAM so memory should not be a problem. Suggestions? Tag: How to make a film-menu? Tag: 18464

    - Preview of video input flickers I'm trying to capture video with my ATI card. I can hear the audio, and I can see the video - but it is full of lines and it flickers. It is also sometimes half solid green instead of the video image.

    - 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?

    - 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.

    - Importing music The Movie Maker will not import music from my Microsoft Media Player 9 program. The music does not show up as existing at all in the My Music file even though it has been copied into the Media Player. Also, if I try to import the CD directly into the Movie Maker from the CD- Audio drive, it does not recognize the CD at all.

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.

    - 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. Any ideas? Tag: How to make a film-menu? Tag: 18295

    - 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. Ed Tag: How to make a film-menu? Tag: 18258

    - 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 ?

Can you explain a bit more what you are looking for.... MM2 doesn't do
menus for DVDs.... a HighMAT menu structure will automatically be created
and added to a CD you burn with MM2 and you don't need to do anything, but
the disc is for computer-playback only at this time.
