    - Can't burn to CD I see someone else has the exactly the same problem as me (computerilliterate an 21st Dec), so at least it is not a one off. When I try to burn a movie to CD it says it is preparing the movie, gets to 58%, and will go no further. I have to cancel, at which point I get a message that it has not finished saving the movie and am I sure? Any suggestions? I am using XP Home SP2. Or how about a work round? I thought of saving the movie to my hard drive then copying it to CD. However, when saving to the computer you don't get the option of saving in a CD format, Thanks Gary Sams Tag: Bad picture qualtiy Tag: 29086

    - Wheres the Color in preview? I recently put a TV card in with a Cable connection into my PC. I hooked up a VCR to convert the video. If I use the software that came with the Card I get color. If I use WMM2 the File comes out as Black and white. I Have been looking in the Forums and tweaking but the result does not change. I also have no understanding of anything related to Video Processing but I am technical so please talk to me like I'm 5 years old. Thanks Tag: Bad picture qualtiy Tag: 29067

    - No Audio from Video in Timeline Preview I've made a couple of short videos with MM, and I've never had any problems. The other day, I started a new project, and placed a few clips in the timeline. When I previewed it, all of sudden, there was no audio. When I highlight the clip in the folder, and hit play on the preview screen, there is audio, but when I highlight the timeline and hit play, it doesn't play the audio. Also, at the same time, I have no system sounds for my computer. I've checked all of the drivers and audio settings and everything seems fine. I have audio in all other applications except MM and no system sounds (such as asterisk, alert, etc. .) What the heck happened? Thanks, Russ Tag: Bad picture qualtiy Tag: 29062

    - OT: soundtrak suggestions please Hi everyone, I could use some suggestions from fellow users. I'm putting together a slide show of my son's first year to give to my parents and in-laws for Christmas. He was born 12/30/2003, and I have some great pictures and video to use. My problem is I'm having a hard time thinking of a good song to put along with my pictures. I've got Louis Armstrong's "Wonderful World", but that's just a little over 2 minutes long, so I need another song (or two) to fill out my aproximately six minutes of pictures and video. I thought about using a few songs from the Baby Einstein soundtrak, but those don't really go well with Wonderful World (and I really want to use that one since a number of the beginning pictures are in the delivery room right after he was born and when we first brought him home). Would love to hear a few suggestions from some of the creative folks here! Thanks, Gary There are 10 types of people in the world: Those that understand binary, and those that don't.

    - XP-SP2 Firewire Speedup Microsoft just posted an update to XP-SP2 to correct a speed setting for Firewire captures. Seems the original SP2 install capped the download speed a S100 instead of permitting the S400 speeds that video capture prefers. Details and the download are found here in KB885222: <quote> After you install Windows XP Service Pack 2, some 1394 devices (such as digital cameras that use S400 speed) may not perform as expected. Install this update to help prevent this issue. After you install this update, you will have to restart your computer. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=5c076e4c-aec8- 434d-9849-e668a50e6e81&DisplayLang=en <end quote> I noticed a significant capture improvement with this patch. mikkl Tag: Bad picture qualtiy Tag: 29049

    - WrongColorsInVideoPlayback Hi, I've used MM 2 successfully on a few home projects. Recently, I've run into problems with video playback/review. The color quality is overblown with green and yellow hues. I'm not sure, but this color change may have occurred about the time I installed multiple softwares for HP photosmart photo printer, MGI photosuite 4 for a vivitar digital camera, and nero software for dvd 6in1 player. Any ideas? ? I tried Tools > Options > Compatibility > Restore All Defaults in MM to no avail. -- RF3 Tag: Bad picture qualtiy Tag: 29031

    - Capturing Widescreen Format Hi, am using Windows MM for the first time, attempting to capture video from my Sony DV which I recorded in widescreen 16:9 format. I cannot see how to get MM to recognise this, it's stretching all my video into 4:3 (I think!) and everything looks awful. Can anyone advise? My main goal at this point is to capture some still images from the video. I later want to write the video to DVD in widescreen format. Would I be better off using another package?

    - Difficulty in rendering transitions - Q to Papa John I produced a 15 minute ski movie with plenty of short action clips and many transitions (including some of MM2 winter transitions) and movie maker 2 refuses to render this to DV AVI (but will to WMV9 - highest quality PAL). If I take out all the transitions it renders quickly to DV AVI but obviously screws up the look and feel of the movie without the transitions. I also get the occasional skip in the music backing track which I see described elswhere as being attributable to MP3 files when rendering directly to Dv AVI. I see a solution for music problem is to render to WMV then drop that back in as a single clip to MM2 and render again to DV AVI which works first go for the music. My question is ---- isnt this killing the quality of my video? ie first to WMV and then to AVI? by the way I have a recent high spec machine with 1 gig of ram and separate 120gb hard disk only for movies and am at a loss to understand the transitions rendering issue. Also your site is great...it saved me hours of frustration. Tim Tag: Bad picture qualtiy Tag: 28970

    - Subtitles Hi, I want to create subtitles for my movie. The problem is, the "subtitles" style when adding text to video doesnt let you change the background. Is there any way I can get around this? I need to be able to change the background colour. Or does anyone know of any other addins I can get? If not, then I'll be forced to use some other forecolor such as Red, which isnt really appropriate for subtitles. Any response gratefully appreciated. Andy Tag: Bad picture qualtiy Tag: 28957

As it does not crash I cannot send an error report. I also noticed in other posts mentions of "Microsoft Visual Studio". I've never heard of this so don't believe it's on my computer?

A firewire connection is for digital camcorders. You Hi8 is an analog one so
it wouldn't work.

Look at the comments on the Analog Video Capture > Belkin page of my site...
based on other users, it seems the Belkin USB setup is something that Movie
Maker doesn't work with...
