    - wedding movie problems...please help! I just sent a message about by blurry photos...my next problem or question is...is there a way to save this movie so that we can see it on our DVD player (someone told me that a VCD format would work). Can I save my movie in a VCD format, or do I need to buy a DVD creator software, and buy a DVD burner so that I can show my movie on a DVD player at our wedding reception? Remember I have about 100 photos--all scanned in--with music. ALSO Remember....I am very new at this, but was very impressed with how easy the Movie maker was to use. I just need to be able to show my movie now, hopefully clearer than it plays on my computer screen, and hopefully without having to spend alot of money on new software and burner to play this at our wedding reception. Thanks for any help!!! A Mom that needs help desperately! Tag: movie not playing when distributed.... Tag: 9082

    - blurry photos... This is exactly the question that I have. I scanned my pictures, about 100 of them for a wedding video of my daughter and her fiance growing up. But many pictures are blurry, when playing them back on the full screen. Am I right in assuming from your response Papa John, that I will not have to re-scan them at a higher resolution, or will the final project not be blurry? This is my first project of this kind, so please help me with this problem in a very easy to understand way. Thanks! A mom that needs help! Tag: movie not playing when distributed.... Tag: 9080

    - editing with original sound track Hi everyone ... 1. How do you keep the original sound-track while adding new scenes into the clip ... In other words I have some footage of my nephew singing the Australian anthem ,, and I want to add clips in between of the aussie scenery while keeping the original soundtrack ...of him singing ... I think a person can do this type of editing with adobe premier ,,,where you keep the original soundtrack while adding different scenes. However I obviously have to keep the sound synchronized ,,, 2. Also when editing a wedding for instance ... when I cut out some unwanted footage ,,, what is the best way to merge the soundtrack so it doesn't sound like it's skipping. Should I fade out and fade in on the 2 clips on the soundtrack?? Thanks..... looking forward to some expert replies ,,, Harold Johannesburg South Africa Tag: movie not playing when distributed....

    - Lockup Part 2 Hey, Everyone, thanks for the responses so far. But alas, I'm wearing the "o-fer collar." I have adjusted the page settings and gone through, in desperation, and renamed every .ax file that I found. (I tried each one before I went to the next.) No luck. Any other ideas? Would a uninstall and reinstall help? Uninstall might be fun since it is not listed in my coontrol panel to remove. If all else fails, hate to ask, but any recomendations on other software? Thanks again! Andy Tag: movie not playing when distributed.... Tag: 9041

    - MM2 audio buzzing When I create a DV_AVI file using MM2, with wav audio input, the output avi audio is very strange. It seems like someone knocked the peaks off of the base line or maybe smooshed them down. It creates a sort of metal buzzing noise when played back. The source wav file is fine. No other program has a problem. Tag: movie not playing when distributed.... Tag: 9038

    - Playing timeline Whenever I try to play the full timeline back in MM2, it plays the sound but doesn't display the clips. However, it will play the sound and pictures for individual clips.

The same computer also still has MM1 on but will successfully playback the timeline in that version. Any clues? Tag: movie not playing when distributed.... Tag: 9033

    - PappaJohn? I see a reference to PappaJohn's web site. Could someone supply me witht he site addy as I am having problems with MM2. The main problem at the moment is saving a movie. When I click save and give film a name MM then starts to save the file and either gets a small pecentage done and then stops (MM freezes though computer is still workable) or the time indicated goes upwards and continues to do so until I bring up task manager to cancel MM. I have previously saved a larger movie, using virtually the same files. The last time I saved a movie was just prior to installing the latest IE accumlative update (issued just a few days ago) Could this be the reason for inabillity to now save?

    - How Can I change the file extension? I need some help! I had saved several video files of my wedding ceremony to a CD while I was reformatting my computer. Before I had went through with the formatting, I ensured that the files could play off of the CD (to which they could). So I formatted my hard drive, to which all the original files were deleted. Now, I have the files on CD (with file extensions as .MSWMM) and they now won't play on my Movie Maker. PLLLEEAAASE someone help me! In reading other posts, I have read that you need to save the file in .ASI or .wmv or other extensions. How can I convert these saved files to reflect a readable extension so that I can see my videos again? Is it even possible? Please someone respond to this! Thanks.

    - Herewith MONEY $$$$$ For YOU Don't Cheat I found this on a bulletin board and decided to try it: A little while back, I was browsing through news groups and e-mails, just like you are now, and came across an article similar to this that said you can make thousands of dollars within weeks with only an initial investment of $6.00!! So, I thought, "Yeah right, this must be a scam," but like most of us, I was curious, so I KEPT reading. Anyway, it said that you send $1.00 to each of the six names and addresses stated in the article. You then place your own name and address in the bottom of the list at $6.00, and post the article in at least 200 people 0r news groups. (There are thousands) No catch, that was it. So after thinking it over, and talking to a few people first, I thought about trying it. I figured, "What have I got to lose; except six stamps and $6.00 right, right?" Then I invested the measly $6.00. WELL GUESS WHAT!!! Within seven days, I started getting money in the mail!! I was shocked!! I figured it would end soon, but the money just kept coming in. In my first week, I made about $25.00. By the end of the second week I had made a total of more than $1000.00!! In the third week I had more than $10,000.00 and it's still growing!! This is now my fourth week and I have made a total of $42,000.00 and it's still coming rapidly. It's certainly worth $6.00 and six stamps, and I have spent more than that on the lottery without ever winning!!! Let me tell you how this works and most important, why it works.......... also make sure you print this out NOW, so you can get the information off of it, as you will need it. I promise you that if you follow the directions exactly that you will start making more money than you thought possible by doing something so easy!! Suggestion: Read this entire message carefully!! (Print it out or download it) Follow the simple directions and watch the money come in!! It's easy. It's legal. And, your investment is only $6.00 (Plus postage)!!! IMPORTANT: This is not a rip-off, it is decent; it's legal; and it is virtually no risk - it really works!! If all the following instructions are adhered to, you will receive extraordinary dividends. PLEASE NOTE: Please follow the directions EXACTLY, and $50,000 or more can be yours in 20 to 60 days. This program remains successful because of the honesty and integrity of the participants. Please continue its success by carefully adhering to the instructions. You will now become apart of the Mail Order business. You are in the business of developing Mailing Lists. Many large corporations are happy to pay big bucks for quality lists. However, the money made from the mailing lists is secondary to income, which is made from people like you and me asking to be included in that list. Here are the four easy steps to success. STEP ONE: Get six separate pieces of paper and write the following on each piece of paper "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST." Now get 6 U.S. $1.00 bills and place ONE inside of EACH of the six pieces of paper so the bill will not be seen through the envelope (to prevent thievery). Next, place one paper in each of the six envelopes and seal them. You now should have six sealed envelopes, each with a piece of paper stating the above phrase, your name and address, and a $1.00 bill. What you are doing is creating a service. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL!!!!! You are requesting a legitimate service and you are paying for it!! Like most of us I was a little skeptical and little worried about the legal aspects of it all. So I checked it out with the U.S. Post Office (1-800-238-5355) and they confirmed that it is indeed legal!! Mail the six envelopes to the following addresses: 1) Andreas Swart Hoornschediep 11 9727 GA Groningen, The Netherlands 2) W. Edens 4829 Bud Ln Lexington, KY 40514 3) Richie Herminio Block F , Eastgate Office Park 24 South Boulevard, Bruma 2198 P.O.Box 10474 , Johannesburg 2000 4) J. Safian 6950 W. Forest Presrv. Dr., #115 Norridge, IL 60706-1324 5) G. Takla 690 Adelaide Avenue East Oshawa, Ontario, L1G 2A8 6) R. Changule 27 Julius Street Flat N0 2 Cosmopolitan View Lynmeyer Johannesburg 2000 South africa STEP TWO: Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move the other names up (six becomes 5, 5 becomes 4, and etc.) and add YOUR NAME as number 6 on the list. STEP THREE: Change anything you need to but try to keep this article as close to original as possible. Now post your amended article to at least 200 news groups. : (I think there are close to 24,000 groups) All you need is 200, but remember, the more you post, the more money you make!! This is perfectly legal!! If you have any doubts, refer to Title 18 Sec. 1302 & 1341 of the Postal Lottery laws. Keep a copy of these steps for yourself and whenever you need money, you can use it again, and again. PLEASE REMEMBER that this program remains successful because of the honesty and integrity of the participants and by their carefully adhering to directions. Look at it this way. If you were of integrity, the program will continue and the money that so many others have received will come your way. NOTE: You may want to retain every name and address sent to you, either on a computer or hard copy and keep the notes people send you. This VERIFIES that you are truly providing a service. (Also, it might be a good idea to wrap the $1 bill in dark paper to reduce the risk of mail theft). So, as each post is downloaded and the directions carefully followed, all members will be reimbursed for their participation as a List Developer with one dollar each. Your name will move up the list geometrically so that when your name reaches the #1 position you will be receiving thousands of dollars in CASH!!! What an opportunity for only $6.00 ($1.00 for each of the first six people listed above) Send it now, add your own name to the list and you're in business!!! *****DIRECTIONS FOR HOW TO POST TO NEWS GROUPS!!!***** STEP ONE: You do not need to re-type this entire letter to do your own posting. Simply put your cursor at the beginning of this letter and drag your cursor to the bottom of this document, and select 'copy' from the edit menu. This will copy the entire letter into the computer's memory. STEP TWO: Open a blank 'notepad' file and place your cursor at the top of the blank page. From the 'edit' menu select 'paste'. This will paste a copy of the letter into the notepad so that you will add your name to the list. STEP THREE: Save your new notepad file as a text file. If you want to do your posting in different settings, you'll always have this file to go back to. STEP FOUR: You can use a program like "postXpert" to post to all the newsgroups at once. You can find this program at <http://www.download.com>. If you don't understand how it works you can email me at: mailto:andreass@orange.nl (this is only when my name is in the list, so send a copy of my address as well. put this in the header: make millions very easy + my full name) Use Netscape or Internet Explorer and try searching for various new groups (on- line forums, message boards, chat sites, discussions.) STEP FIVE: Visit message boards and post this article as a new message by highlighting the text of this letter and selecting paste from the edit menu. Fill in the subject, this will be the header that everyone sees as they scroll through the list of postings in a particular group, click the post message button. You're done. Congratulations!!!!!! THAT'S IT!! All you have to do, and It Really works!!! Best Wishes Tag: movie not playing when distributed.... Tag: 9007

    - emm386.exe on XP I have a small DOS based program that was written for me by a local programmer. It makes use of a Microsoft file called emm386.exe. I used Windows 98 2nd edition and this worked well. I have now installed Windows XP, and the programme does not want to work. It comes up with a message "No EMS driver is installed".

What can I do with XP to activate the equavalent to emm386.exe, and which gives a DOS programme access to memeory in the PC above 1MB I would appreciate any help in solving this problem, as it seems that Microsoft SA dont have answers, or are too inexperienced with this.

    - Program Hangs... All, I have just started using MM2 on a new computer. After many hangs and software restarts, I came here. I see I'm not alone. I went to Papa John's site for the fixes and started down the list. I'm wanting to edit a 45 minute video, by this Saturday. This is what I have done so far to no avail... 1) Did a search on divxaf.ax. Not found on my computer. Is this not good? 2) Changed Hardware Acceleration to 3, still locked up. I have Directx 9b installed. 3) The computer has a Nvidia Geforce MX 440 w/ 64 MB DDR Memory. I ran Windows Update for new drivers for it, but nothing there. (The computer came with XP Home. I believe it should look for these types of updates. I have not had a new computer in 5 years, so I have a lot of catching up...) 4) Ran GSpot v2.21. It shows that there were a couple Arcsoft files missing, but seems ok for MM2 5) The tweak for Nvidia/Xp... I was unable to find on the listed site. May have been moved or I was just missing it. I think that is about all...Any help would be greatly appreciated! Regards, Andy Tag: movie not playing when distributed.... Tag: 9003

At the roxio forum someone suggested that I was full of ... it and that this could never have happened... intell never hear of it ... my DVD burner company say it's not them ... well anyway I've got 1100 bucks invested in my home built computer and after this failed burn cannot use any of my optical drives ... This RAW file format ... from a search at google suggests it's a non-formated hard drive ... YIKES ... when did my CD-roms become hard drives ... anyway I need some help ... if you can ... please I dont understand how this newgroup thinkg works ... I've been here two hours and hope this will post ...I've spent what seem hours looking but ..sure wish you could search posts for help ... if you've got an answere I really need the HELP ... FalconMcRi@cox.net ... oh ... btw ... I've checked out my DVD burner and my CD-rw and they work fine in my previous computer. Tag: movie not playing when distributed.... Tag: 8958

    - partial import syndrome i can import most dv-avi files into MM2 with no problem. however, certain files only get 'partially' imported. case in point; i've captured some footage from my dvcam that's 1.2GB, and lasts 6:20. however, once imported that file is inexplicably reduced to only the first 20 secs! there's no way of adjusting the capture size limit - i've checked. and what's more, i've imported bigger files in the past. what gives??? any help greatly appreciated.

    - divide and conquer I am wondering if it is possible to break up a large video project into smaller sections, edit them as needed and then when each is finished, combine them into the final finished project. Once a particular section is finished, it seems wasteful to have to re-render all that again just to see how the new section is coming along. Thanks, Phil Tag: movie not playing when distributed....

I made a movie on a Windows XP machine with music and pictures. I tested
the CD's on three computers...

1 - Win XP Media Player 9.0
2 - Win 2K Media Player 9.0
3 - Win 2K Media Player 7.0

It ran fine on all three.

I then distributed the CD's. One recipient runs the movie in WinXP Media
Player 9.0 and gets music but no video. Any ideas?

If they have the music and no video then they probally don't have the codec
installed. They can go to:

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/format/codecdownload.aspx

and download it.
