Help with editing audio in mm2 needed - please
I have created a project with a series of video clips
(with audio) interspersed with the odd title page and
still photo.
What I now want to do, is to overlay some audio/music
soundtracks that only play during the title pages or over
selected stills, allowing the sound of the video to play
when they come into view.
Therefore, I'm looking at being able to set the
audio/music to fade out when it comes to a selected
point, the video/audio comes in at this point, then the
music audio fades back in at the selected point, which
would be at the end of a video section.
However, I do not want to keep re-starting the same
music/audio at the beginning, basically, I want to mute
or pause the music at certain points for specific
durations.
It seems a basic requirement to me but this is the first
time I've done anything like this and I can't find a way
of doing it.
Can it be done and how?
Many Thanks

"Unspecified Error" when opening MM2
When I try to open Movie Maker 2 or Microsoft Producer
2003, I get an "Unspecified Error" message and the
application fails to open. The problem seems to be
specific to my Windows XP profile (i.e. when I'm logged
on as someone else it works fine), but this presents a
significant problem to me.
Has anyone seen this problem? It must lie in some shared
component between the two applications.
Thanks. Tag: movie Tag: 10014

MM2 movie skips during title pages on DVD, problem not present in preview
Ok, I've made several movies in MM2, they look and sound
great in preview on MM2. I am saving them as DV-AVI files
and using Roxio ECDDVDC to burn to DVD. When I preview
the movie in Roxio, it looks fine.
However, the movie on the DVD stalls, and stutters
(including audio cutout, dropped frames, etc.) during
titles. If the titles are animated the problem is worse.
I exported the movie back to my camcorder and it played
just fine, however, when I re-imported the movie from the
camcorder into a new MM2 project and burned the resulting
movie, it had all the same problems the first dvd had.
I have no problems with audio cutout or skipping during
transitions, and again, everything looks fine, even when
previewed in roxio. Tag: movie Tag: 9995

DV capture freezes -Hotfix?-
When trying to capture video VIA firewire from my Sony
DCR-TRV230 to Movie Maker the video preview freezes after
several seconds and it stops capturing, even though the
camera rolls along as if it's still working. I've looked
at Papajohn's pages, tried a few things to no avail.
Here's the thing: MS has a "Hotfix" on this page:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-
US;830363
This is reportedly a "confirmed problem" for XP with SP1
and DirectX 9- my configuration. But I have an OEM
version of XP Home, so apparently they want to charge me
money for this "Hotfix." Is there any way to aquire the
hofix without shelling out more $$$ to MS? Any kind soul
out there already download it and willing to share?
Many thanks! Tag: movie Tag: 9990

only audio, but no video in timeline playback
A few weeks ago I posted this:
Whenever I try to play the full timeline back in MM2, it
plays the sound but doesn't display the clips or titles.
(It won't even preview title text whilst I'm setting up a
title).
However, it will play both the sound and pictures for
individual clips from the collection before I place them
on timeline. The timeline only has a couple of very very
short clips, so there shouldn't be a length/size of clip
issue.
The same computer also still has MM1 on and will
successfully playback the timeline in that version.
and I received this reply:
If they are MPEG2 clips, it's probably a codec issue.
The clips I've tried are a WMV's but I've also tried
with avi files & still have same problem. Have installed
WMP9 for Windows XP, but still no joy.
Other ideas welcome! Tag: movie Tag: 9988

MM2 DVD menu system - is there such a thing?
Hi all,
I like the ease of use that MM2 provides, but the title system leaves a bit

Is there such a thing as a DVD menu system plug-in for MM2? It would be

Sound
I captured video to Window Movie Maker 2 and edited it, seemed OK. Then I
saved it as .wmv format. Again MyDVD Preview Mode all was OK, so I burnt it
onto a +DVD. However, on the finished DVD there is a specific sound sync
problem. It is OK for most of the project until you come to a title without
audio inserted into the "storyline". After the title, the video continues,
but the sound does not restart until 6 seconds into the video. For the rest
of the film the sound-track remains the same exact 6 seconds behind the
video.
This is only on the finished DVD. I have tried re-burning, but exactly the
same problem. Any ideas please? Thanks, Peter. Tag: movie Tag: 9937

Which versions of Windows Media Player Can Play these files?
I've been experimenting with Windows Movie Maker and love
the end result. It was so easy to learn!
However, I'm having problems playing the movie file that
is created. It plays fine on my Windows XP machine at
the office, but when I try to play the file using the
Windows Media Player on the computers at home (one
Windows 2000, the other Windows XP), I get only audio,
and a black screen for video.
Does Windows Media Player create a new type of file that
only later versions of Windows Media Player can handle?
I'm wondering if I need to download and install a newer
version of Windows Media Player on these machines. Has
anyone else seen this?

De-Letterbox when converting?
I use WMM2 to make small movies to watch on the Pocket PC. I use the largest
set profile for PPC, 320x240 at 218 kbps, to convert MPEG movies to watch on
the PPC.
320x240 is not letterbox, however if the original movie is in letterbox
wide-screen format, the resulting picture is also in that format, with an
empty black stripe above and below the picture.
I don't mind watching letterbox on the television. The empty black stripes
don't bother me. However, on the PPC, the screen is so small, I would like
to have the picture fill the screen, and not have those black stripes above
and below the picture.
Is it possible during the encoding to WMV, to change the aspect ratio (no
cropping) so that the resulting video fills the 320x240 screen? Tag: movie Tag: 9887
