further important clue to my WMM problems:::
In my ongoing quest (about a month now) to clean up the excessive jerky, hic-cup-py platyback of video in my WMM2, I want to add the following clue: After I capture video, there is that horizontal green progress bar, that I think(?) says somethng like "loading", but now it just zips(!) right through itself instantly ... whereas in the past when my WMM2 was working *right*, that bar would slowly progress left-to-right as it gauged the processing of my captured video
Anyhow, nowadys, it does none of that - it just blows right through it. Can this suggest something? Is something zapped on my system? I've tried reloading WMM2 a few times; no luck
... still stranded on an island .. with no WMM2 to play with ..... help ..
Thanks, Michael Tag: movi maker Tag: 12640
DVD player that plays back WMV 2Q2004
When this player is available I think I will finally take the plunge and
convert my edited DV files to high qaulity WMV.
http://www.pcworld.com/news/article/0,aid,114279,00.asp
I currently use the free Windows Media Encoder 9 Series to convert my DV
files to a WMV format with goood quality and that could tolerate a few
re-encoding generations if necessary. However, I am reluctant to delete any
DVs because I don't know if the format I selected will playback in a
hardware device. This player would validate that.
This is my current "Encode DV.bat" file:
cd \program files\windows media components\encoder
rem the following command is all on one line
cscript.exe wmcmd.vbs -input "C:\Video\Edited" -output
"C:\Video\Encoded" -v_codec WMV9 -v_mode 2 -v_quality 85 -v_keydist
1 -v_preproc 1 -a_codec WMA9PRO -a_mode 2 -a_setting Q75_44_2_24
rem pause so that you can see any possible errors in the command
pause
The script above encodes all files in "C:\Video\Edited" to variable bit rate
quality level 85 deinterlaced, audio quality level 75. The results are
placed in "C:\Video\Encoded". For all the switch definitions see Start Menu,
All Programs, Windows Media, Utilities, Windows Media Encoding Script, the
Using command-line options section Tag: movi maker Tag: 12639

Replacing video with slide show
Can someone please help me find the "least expensive" software that will allow me to replace video while continuing to hear the audio associated with that video. In other words, I have a video clip of my father discussing his early life. While he is talking, I want to fade into still pics of his early life. This is not like a narration where I would add voice to a series of still pics, but rather the opposite. Replacing the video while leaving the audio
I was told that WMM might do this, but I have not been able to figure it out if it does. If it will, I would appreciate any assistance you might be able to provide. If it won't, does anyone know a software package that will. I have been told that Adobe Premiere will do this, but have not checked it out due to the cost
Thank you for an assistance. Tag: movi maker Tag: 12609

Newbie Questions...
I'm a bit confused...being new to the whole video editing\creation thing, I just got started with Windows Movie Maker 2 today by using still pictures to put together a slide show with music and some effects. That's been going fine..
My questions are about saving - it looks like 640x480 is the max resolution that a video can be saved as. Is this correct
Now, that size is fine for viewing on my computer, but what about television? I'm not sure how computer resolutions translate into TV viewing. I have a 42 inch television. Would the video fill the whole screen, or just a small window? Would it be a mess (stretched and pixelized?)
Of the save options, which are actually the best quality (once you choose to pick manually and not let windows pick)? The options they present are a bit confusing. Are higher kbs always better? (Assuming local viewing and not trying to make web friendly)? "High Quality, Large" isn't very informative
If you want a FULL, super-high quality copy for archive, what option would that be
Oh, on other question, this one about Audio
Is there any way to trim an audio clip, then make it fade out instead of ending abruptly
Thanks Tag: movi maker Tag: 12555

playback hang-ups
Went to papajohn site very informative but no luck for my particulars which are
Video captures fine from my sony mini DV cam and saving back to mini DV gives good results as well. Its the editing and MM clip playback on the MM2 monitor pane that is very unstable and sometimes results in the infamous error report. I should add that the audio is played back without interuption, its really only the compressed video file (I think MM2 call this a movie maker project file) that seems to have the problem in stability, meaning when i play back the (edit in process project file) timeline it almost seems that the graphics card (in my case a graphics adaptor intel 170) is trying to catch up with the speed of the video images, the result of course is a highly unwatchable product. I checked the codecs through the XP direct diagnostic tool and did not see any that matched ones listed at papajohns site.I also tried the settings on the accelerator but to no avail. I should also add that MM2 does save the last edit when there is an error crash (hang-up), a window comes up asking me if I want to retrieve the lost data, so eventually I can finish the edit but what a pain. Anybody have anything new to add? Papajohns comments are always aprreciated.

MM 2 hangs after import of .mpg
OK, I've read many posts & PapaJohn, I've done your check
list. But I cannot resolve this: I've used MM2 before
(made a 20 min pix/video presentation 2 months ago)
However now I've started a new project. It involves still
pix's, mp3 audio and .mpg. I've inserted my title, added
several still pix, but when I add an .mpg (maybe 10-15
sec. long) MM2 freezes. It will not play the clip. If I
save the file right after I add the .mpg then exit the
program, it will allow me to add another clip. But if I
try & play the entire clip it freezes. (The .mpg clips
are imported from another source - not using MM2 to
create the .mpg)

I have the same problem with freezing MM2.I think When
MM2 overloaded-it freezed.Also i cannot make CD or taped
my annimationts on hard disc when file is more than 5
min.So. i split it in parts(till 5 min. each)and tape it
on hard disc or burning CD.IT happend,specially,when i do
the annimations:700 pictures, 3Mpixeles each one-the
length of the movie.While working with the movie the pc
freezes a few times,so,i have ti use Alt-Ctrl-Del to run
againg MM2.It takes a lot of time!But now, i work bit
slowly with MM2(waiting for finishinng of every step of
command)and time to time to restart of my computer helps
to refresh the RAM memory and defragmention of the hard
disc makes the peformens of MM2 better.MM2 is good Movie
Maker,but i shoudn't buy it while having free downloads
of it.But ,till now,i see that MM2 is more progressive
Movie Maker to compare with another MM.And i'm going on
with using it,because I can create annimations with
photo's,that is not possible whith another programms i
know.Be patient,MM2 will be upgraded(i hope)

Movie Maker 2 Hang up
I am about at my wits end -- and I have contacted
Microsoft, and they won't talk to me without paying since
my Windows XP Pro is "OEM"; and since MM2 is a part of
the operating system, whether it works or not, I need to
contact the OEM. Now, since MS seems to know little
about MM2, (witness the Knowledge Base corrections list),
OEM will know even less.
What happens:
It will only capture a few frames of video from my
camera, then hangs up. It access the camera, via
firewire cable, (IEEE 1394), properly, rewinds the
digital tape in the camera, then says it is capturing the
image.
I watch the movie on the camcorder, and then stop the
capture after a few seconds (10 or so). Then it says
creating the file, and HANGS up. I get, maybe, a few
frames, about .1 - .4 seconds ( 1/10 - 4/10 sec.) of
capture.
I also have tried monitoring and not monitoring the
capture on the computer, but makes no difference. MM2
will not then restart without restarting the computer
(other computer functions are OK without restart).
I have contacted Sharp, and the only software they have
is the driver for the SD card in the camera for
downloading still photos, nothing needed for the firewire
interface.
Yesterday, I talked with MS and had sent to me (email)
a 'Hotfix', KB826377. The Sharp model number specified in
the Hotfix was not for my camera, but thought perhaps the
article was not totally current, and that other Sharp
camcorders might be affected. Mine is the Sharp VL-Z5U.
No difference after installing the Horfix.
I also did the following:
Microsoft Knowledge Base Article - 825229
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-
us;825229 (a Microsoft goof).
My computer has 1 GB memory, has a 2.5 ghz P4 processor,
and 103 GB of available hard drive space; plenty of
capability.

moviemaker or primiere?
For the price moviemaker is great - and it has been very easy to use
What little I have done with Premiere, it doesn't seem as easy to use, and
may actually be an overkill for what I will probably ever do. Here is where
I need some feedback.
For the near term I want to make simple titles and plain fades for
transitions and use audio "as is."
However, I will eventually want to A-B roll two large sources (a two camera
shoot) into one final product.
here are my questions:
1) what is my approach with this software to make this work smoothly?
Do I need to berak the two sources into smaller segs based on time code?
2) which product maks this easier?
3) how do I strip audio from a tape and discard the video? which product
facilitates this?
4) which product allows me to color correct segs?
5) which format is best to capture in? AVI is huge BUT I see no difference
on my computer between Peimiere AVI and Moviemaker - but there must be a
difference or Premiere would offer something smaller I'm sure
6) which product offers the most productive workflow once you gotten past
the learning curve? Tag: movi maker Tag: 12478
