    - Test my movies please?! I have two tying demos on my Web site. Some of my users can only hear the audio and can't view the video. I'm not sure how to solve this problem. If any of you have time, can you go to the following Web site: http://www.3Senoritas.com and let me know if you can see the video. It seems pointless to keep the tying demos there if no one can see them! Too bad, such an easy way for people to learn Thanks a million Trina Tag: moviemaker program Tag: 9903

    - Sound Sync I captured video to Window Movie Maker 2 and edited it, all fine. Then I saved it as .wmv format. On MyDVD Preview Mode it was OK, so I burnt it onto a +DVD. However , on the finished DVD towards the end of the project the sound track is about 6 seconds behind the video and spills over from one scene to another. This is only on the finished DVD. Any ideas please? Thanks, Peter. Tag: moviemaker program Tag: 9901

    - 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? Thanks, DD Tag: moviemaker program Tag: 9898

    - Device disconnects I start a capture and it will run about 2 minutes and then the capture stops. I receive a message that the device has disconnected and as soon as I kill the message I get the popup that you normally get when you turn on the camera. It seems to be a pervasive problem because I get the same results in other capture software. I'm using 1394 connection to a Sony Mini DV. The 1394 port is onboard an Asus P4C800 motherboard.

    - No more than one song? Everytime I try to use more than one song in a video, I get the error message "One or more arguments are invalid" and it really messes up WMV. I'm wondering if its supposed to be this way, or is there some reason that I can't use more than one song? Tag: moviemaker program Tag: 9889

    - 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: moviemaker program Tag: 9887

    - "Save Movie File" failed Using MovieMaker v2.0.3312.0 with Win XP Prof. I've used this program before on other systems but something appears to be corrupt because I am unable to save any size movie (even just a few second introduction). I've tried various quality levels and verified disk space (have over 120 GIG free space on drive), drive is formatted for NTFS. No matter what option I choose I get the message "Cannot Complete the Save Movie Wizard - Your movie was not saved successfully." Additional infomation displayed is "WMM cannot save the movie to the specified location. Verify that the orig. 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 again." I have verified everything, including admin rights (I am the admin.), free disk space, source files (even created a new movie with only a MM title created). I check the DLL files and reinstalled MM from Microsoft's website. I get the same message no matter what method I choose to save. I'm at a total loss now. Any advice or is there a log file created with each step within the wizard that may give me better details where the program is failing. Please help! Thank you. Tag: moviemaker program Tag: 9879

    - Help on dvd's Good day !! I have edited a wedding video (WMM2) and I have already saved the completed avi files in the PAL format . ( I live in Johannesburg, South Africa and we use the PAL system here) . I have also saved some mpeg2 files (also made using PAL format ) using auto muvee. The problem is that 3 out of the 5 DVD's which I'm producing are going to be sent to the USA. The dvds which I am using are DVD+R discs. Using SONIC MY DVD to write to the dvds ,,, I have had no problems making the standard PAL dvds. Now it seems that I have to re-save all the files ( about 6 different movies ) in the NTSC format,, and then use SONIC MY DVD to write them. This is going to be a lot of extra work. Is there any way that these discs (PAL) will play in any of your DVD players over there in the States ..?? Second question . I have been using a DVD+RW hp disc to record some other projects. My SONIC DVD ,, erases the disc first as required ,, and the disc works fine on the computer. However when playing it in my DVD player ,,, it says NO DISC ,,, and therefore doesn't play. I await your expert help ... Regards Harold Silber Johannesburg South Africa Tag: moviemaker program Tag: 9861

    - Can't import AVI Hello, For some reason, I can't import any AVI in WMM2. Capturing works well (I can open the AVI file in media player that is written to my hard disk) but Movie Maker hangs when trying to import it. So, I guess this isn't a codec problem. By the way, importing WMV-files works fine though. Another weird thing is that the preview windows remains empty when I am running the video from the timeline, while previewing from the collection works fine. Can anyone help me, please?

    - CODECS Having created a movie with MM2, saved it to a CD as a wmv file, when I try and play the video on another XP machine the required codec is missing. While WMP downloads the codec required is there any way to determine what codec is needed so that it can be added to the CD for use on a PC that does not have access to the internet. (I have used the device manager to try and see what was added to the list of codecs, but nothing new appeared in the list after the download.) Any assistance would be appreciated. Thank you.

    - Timecode prevents scene detection I captured a Hi-8 analog video by using the analog pass- through in a digital camcorder, creating an AVI file. Moviemaker imports the file but it will not automatically detect the scene changes. I'm pretty sure that the reason is that there are no breaks in the DV-generated timecodes. If the timecodes were not present, I think that MM would use the scene changes to create separate clips. Question: How can I get MM to ignore the timecode and use scene changes to generate clips? Or, how can I strip the timecode from the AVI file? Thanks, Bob Tag: moviemaker program Tag: 9839

    - can't import clips from sony digital handycam! I have tried with several computers to import movie clips taken with the sony digital handycam. In some, I can import the clips fine, but when I try to edit or basically create a movie using Windows Movie Maker, it will freeze and the program will not respond. I tried to use other programs and the format is not compatible with these programs when importing from the saved clips. Nothing works. Also, the only way I can get the clips from the Handycam is by capturing them use the product provided (ImageMixer) and then taking those clips and importing them into an editing program. Either the format is not compatible, or it freezes constantly. Please help me! Tag: moviemaker program Tag: 9832

    - info about dropped frames during DV capture with MM2 ? Hi, In the past I used to transfer DV from my video camera via Firewire to my computer using either "dvapp.exe" or "dvio.exe". Because of problems with dropping frames during the transfer I decided to try Movie Maker 2. Everything seems to work fine and I haven't got any "frames dropped" messages.

    - 6 to 4 pin IEEE 1394 connection question I am having trouble with my samsung scd 27 mini dv camcorder. I have a HP pavillion 523n computer running windows XP Home Edition. I am connecting the camcorder via IEEE 1394 firewire port (creative audio 2 zu card)and plugged into my camcorder using a 6 to 4 pin firewire cable. When I plug the camcorder in the wmm2 program recognises it and asks to launch the wmm2 program. I can use the controls on the wmm2 to rewind and fast forward, but when I hit the play button the camcorder plays the movie but I dont get a preview and it doesnt record the movie. I have recorded a movie once via this connection but its about 1 in 20 times it will work correctly. I have seen on some other sites that because I have a 4 pin connection I may not be able to download the video from my camcorder correctly. Is that true? Please help....

    - 2 problems with large video files I recently came back from a vacation with one video tape full and another with about 5 more minutes of video that i want to edit on my computer. My computer does not have a firewire card, but another computer in the house does, and both are connected through our LAN. i copied the video files over to the other computer (the full tape- 11.8gb, the small one 2.8gb, both in DV-AVI format), and when i tried moving them to my computer through the lan, i get a message saying that i do not have enough disk space. the hard drive i was copying to has at least 40 gigs free, so there must be some other problem...im not sure what though. if anyone knows how i can get it to my computer, please let me know. and my second problem... i got the second tape's 5 minutes or so copied to my computer sucessfully over the lan from the other computer. I imported it into movie maker, and as soon as i clicked the clip to play it back, movie maker stopped responding. i tried opening other, smaller files and they worked fine. i cant do anything with that one file though- -maybe it's too big? that (and the other large one) are DV-AVI format....if anyone has solutions to either or both of my problems, or needs me to clarify anything, let me know. thanks a lot.

    - AVI Audio Playback Problem - Solution! There have been many posts here about a specific audio problem where an AVI clip plays fine in Media Player, but when dragged to the storyboard, the audio screeches/ plays fast/ is out of sync/ etc. What worked for me was installing an MPEG2 codec. By downloading the eval version of MainConcept's MPEG encoder (www.mainconcept.com), my imported AVI clips now play in the storyboard of MM2. My guess is that when MM2 copies the clip to the storyboard, it changes the audio playback type from PCM to MPEG2. (For more info on MPEG2, visit the "Importing Source Files/Video/MPEG2" section of PapaJohn's website at www.papajohn.org) What threw me off was the fact that my clips are Motion JPEG AVI's, so I focused my attention on AVI and MJPEG codecs and not on MPEG2 codecs. However after reading some of PapaJohn's posts about MPEG2 codecs, I decided to give that a try. It worked Thanks PapaJohn Cheers Tag: moviemaker program Tag: 9790
