    - Cannot capture neither create movies anymore Hi everyone. Just suddenly, I cannot capture video anymore from my Panasonic camcorder neither create a movie after having edited it. The hardware link is fine because I did a video test capture with VideStudio and it worked ok. For the first problem I'm getting "Capturing profiles cannot be found" and for the latter, on the Save Movie Wizard, "No LOC needed - Autolayout placeholder string". And when I try to save the movie (to the PC), the screen is overlayed with text from other options... And it goes to an endless loop where I'm getting (randomly) 30611855 more or less minutes to create a 13 minutes movie!!! I've re-installed MM2, re-booted the PC and re-launched MM but with same results as before. Earlier, I received a Windows XP error message that a "mscoree.dll" was missing (which I've managed to download and re-install back). Thx for your help if someone has an idea how to solve this mistery. Enrique Tag: movie files on cd lost Tag: 10802

    - XP system bogged down after using WMM2 I have created my first video and am very pleased with the end result (Movie Maker Rocks!). Now I've found that my system is severly slowed down-- takes forever for any programs to start, etc. I have been working on this problem for 2 weeks(defragging with different defrag tools, clean booting XP, virus and "bug" scanning) but have not found the answer yet. I am real close to formatting and starting all over which is only a temp. fix 'cause I like WMM. I have a P4 1.7, 20 and 60gig drives, XP pro, 256 mg ddr, and shuttle video with firewire. Any suggestions? Ang66 Tag: movie files on cd lost Tag: 10785

    - Saving I have a large hard drive (106GB), so I am able to do large projects. I have a problem with saving my movie as a movie file so it can be compatible with Sonic MyDVD. When I save the movie as a movie file (to My Computer), it saves about 3/4 to 85% of the movie and then stops saving. I know this because the CPU usage goes to zero and the minutes remaining begin to increase instead of decrease. I know that it takes a long time to render into a different format, but I have left it for long periods of time and the program makes no more progess saving the movie. I've heard that some computers weren't designed to have such big hard drives, so when a file or project is that big, it is impossible for the computer to handle it or something, like a safety feature. I don't know. Is there anything I can do? Tag: movie files on cd lost Tag: 10780

    - Preventing WMM from controlling camera I want to use a Sony TRV33E as an analogue (VCR) to digital converter (which you can). In this setup the video stream can be captured over the FireWire from the camera and the video control is via a VCR. While software such as Adobe Premiere is quite happy to capture a free flowing stream without any attempt at controlling the camera, the WMM is trying to start the camcorder's tape, thus shutting off the analogue signal conversion. WMM is actually capable of displaying the converted video from the FireWire, the problem however is how to stop it from interfering with the camcorder's controls - I cannot see anyway of making the camera to ignore such software requests. Any ideas Jacob Tag: movie files on cd lost Tag: 10779

    - error: "video device is not resonding" I bought a 8300 dell computer recently (two months ago). The Roxio VideoWave Movie Creator software was inistall at the factory and it works fine. My video capture device is: Dell Movie Studio Video Device. I realized I have the "Windows Movie Maker 5.1" on my computer today but having problems. I'm trying to capture analog (VHS) video from my older camcorder to WMM. I can see the video in the preview screen but no sound. So anyway, I pressed the capture button and I can see the "size of video file increasing" but the "video captured" reading stays at 0:00:00. I assume it is not capturing. After approx. 20seconds I and pressed the stop capture button and then the finish button. Then I get an error message which states: The specified video device is not responding. Verify that the device is connected propely and turned on and then try capturing again I tried to capture the video the same exact way but using the Roxio VideoWave Moive Creator and it worked fine I tried again using WMM again with the same error message. Have can I get WMM and my "video device" see eye to eye Thank Looking forward using WM Tag: movie files on cd lost Tag: 10759

    - Pentax OptioS4-MPEG-Audio Problems-Solution(s) Thanks to the help of PapaJohn and others this problem has been solved. Problem: The AVI video files created by this camera have a PCM codec sound component. PCM is a codec which is included as standard in XP Professional. Therefore, the file plays perfectly, sound and vision, in Windows Media Player, Real Player and when imported into Collections in Movie Maker2. The problem starts when the file is dragged to Storyboard in MM2. The video plays fine, but the sound becomes totally distorted. Apparently, for reasons best known to Microsoft, MM2 converts(?) the audio element to MPEG in the Storyboard. Solution: This requires the downloading and installation of an MPEG Encoder. I have downloaded and tried two. The locations are here> http://www.flydragonsoft.com/products.htm Scroll down to.......AVI to MPEG Converter and.............. http://www.mainconcept.com/products.shtml The first one cost $29.95. The second one costs $149. The more expensive one has a far more sophisticated interface. Quite simply, you can do a lot more to the file. But, to my VERY inexperienced eye, the resulting converted files look equally disimproved! Unless I am doing something wrong in the conversion, the file just isn't as good when I finally get it to play in Storyboard as when it plays back in Collections (i.e. unconverted). I would be interested in more expert opinion on either of these converters and on the tweaking (if any) that one should perform during conversion. However, as I said in another thread just above this one, I can't see why we should have to go through this in the first place!! DM Tag: movie files on cd lost Tag: 10738

    - Audio Problems - MPEG Encoders - PapaJohn please read. PapaJohn, In my other thread above you wrote......... "Movie Maker automatically uses whatever codecs are available on your computer," Isn't that the point at issue here? (By the way, I sorted the problem. See next thread.) The AVI files from my Pentax camera, containing PCM audio files, play perfectly in Windows Media Player and also in Windows Movie Maker, when imported into Collections. The trouble only begins when they are dragged to Storyboard when, as someone discovered, MM2 converts them to MPEG. This begs the question.......why try to change the file at all? Secondly, why try to change it into something for which a default codec is not available? Even worse, a codec for which one has to pay extra? You wrote: "MPEG2 codecs are licensed for a fee, so you wouldn't expect anyone to include it in a routine free update, so it couldn't be by default." Fair enough. But, it seems to me that Microsoft are slipping up bigtime here and whatever quirk in MM2 causes it to do this in Storyboard should be addressed. Thanks for all you help. You've been fantastic!

    - Telling others how to open my CD I have tried several permutations to get my vcd's and c-dvd's to play on computers other than the computer that created them. I have MM2 and created a fabulous movie which I saved in dv-avi. Then I used Roxio to record them in the various formats I now have 10 cds, and none of them can be opened on all computers, just a couple on this computer, and a couple on that computer.. I then tried to capture the video directly into Roxio and burn from there, but again, there are no reliable results. I thought creating the video in Roxio would make it more compatible with Roxio's encoding process, but so far, it doesn't seem to be any better than creating the movie in MM2 and saving as dv-avi & importing it into Roxio. Am I missing a step in Roxio So far, the best and most universal disc I have been able to do is to create a VCD (via mm2 to roxio) which requires the users to open their windows media player (or quicktime for mac users), and then, from within the player, manually open one of the 5 files which will appear. Then the video opens. I am using these cd's to promote my business and I am worried that a potential customer will not go to all of the trouble to open these cd's The only good side to this last cd is that I tried it on 4 computers and the "manual" way worked on all of them Is there a better way? Should I just include instructions for opening my cd's when I send them Thank you in advance for your help Tag: movie files on cd lost Tag: 10733
