save times
When I tried to record to CD I finally got it to start but the minutes just built up to over 700000. This took over an hour. Is there anything I can do to get it to record? It was just 120.34 mb. I have a 2GHZ processor with 256mb of ram. Windows increased the page file temporarily to complete. Tag: pixelan Tag: 10121

Rewriting to tape
Not sure this is specifically a Movie Maker problem, but would
appreciate any advice.
I have captured footage from two seperate dv tapes and want to
consolidate them onto one tape (simple sequential connection).
Whenever I do that, the sound gets a minor corruption on the final
tape. It's not bad - just a short dropout every 20 or 30 seconds.
That happens no matter what I use to write the tape. Have tried Movie
Maker 2, Pinnacle 7 and Ulead Video Studio 6. In each case the
corruption is slightly different and never major, but enough to be
annoying.
I have used Ulead to burn a VCD and that is perfect.
Playing the AVI files on Media Player also gives perfect performance.
I'm running an Athlon 1800 with 512 meg of memory and lots of disk
capacity so I would have thought I had enough performance, yet I have
a sneaky feeling that the problem is performance related.
Any ideas please?
Thanks Tag: pixelan Tag: 10117

Capturing sound with video using older style video 8 recorder
Thanks for the answer to my last question guys. I can sucessfully capture sound and video with my DV camera via firewire. The problem I am now faced with involves the transfer of older movies that were recoreded on my sony video 8 recoreder. I plug the "video" cable from my computer capture device to my video 8. I then connect one end of a "y adapter" to my sound card and the the other to the audio output on the camera. I then start up the Windows Movie Maker software and choose my audio setting. When I am creating the video with Windows Movie Maker I can see and hear my movie in the preview window. When I attempt to playback the newly created files I can see the video but cannot hear the audio. Can anyone help? The old tape is alreading starting to fall apart and I need to convert it ASAP.
Thanks in advance

Long conversion times
Hello,
I am new to the use of Windows Movie Maker. I capture a move from my DV camara or my video out card and it takes 210-260 mins to convert or "make movie", is this normal? Is there anyway to cut down on these times? I usually attempt to capture on a "high quality" setting.
Thank you

Burn to DVD
I made my first movie in MM2. Easy and I liked it...the only problem I have is burning it to DVD. I have the MyDVD program version 4.5. I had to first save the MSWMM file that MM2 creates to a WMA file. I then open that file wity MyDVD and tried to burn the DVD. It was less than stellar..omly 30 seconds of my 7 minute video was burned and none of the audio. I wanted to use another program but cannot figure out if I can export the WMA file as an MPEG file. Is there a media converter that can do this???? Tag: pixelan Tag: 10103
MPEG files
When I load mpeg files into MM2 I can not save them as a

DVD Playback quality
I am currently using a digital camcorder that only has DV-OUT. My intention is to use MM2 to edit my movies and then burn them to DVD using MyDVD5. Should the end qulaity of my DVD based movie be close to the original recording or will I notice a vast difference?
I have read that the best option is to output back into the camera and then record off that, as my camera does not have DV-IN this is not possible, I have considered changing the camera but would prefer not too.
As a novice, I enjoy using MM2 because of it's simplicity, how easy is MyDVD5 to use? should I just use this to burn the DVD and do all editing in MM2 still?
Any advice greatly appreciated, thanks in advance. Tag: pixelan Tag: 10092

Canon ZR70MC not recognized by XP & system freezes
Hi, I have trouble with the following configuration
- ACER TM 233 LC notebook, Windows XP home OEM with ALL
newest updates (clean installation
- new DeLock CardBus Firewire 3Port (IEEE 1394 compilant
hostadapter) for the PCMCIA slo
- new Canon Camcorder ZR70M
- new firewire cable 6-
------------------------------------
When plugging the Firewire adapter, the necessary drivers
are automatically installed by device manager
When plugging the camcorder, most of the times just
nothing happens - eventhough I installed the XP patch
Q329256 for correct firewire enumeration, the camcorder is
almost never recognized. If the camcorder is detected
(maybe one of 20 times), I start video capturing
(MovieMaker 2) and suddenly the whole system freezes
completely after a few seconds -> hardware reset is
necessary
WindowsXP automatically sets 4 times the same IRQ "17" for
- Crystal WDM AC'97Driver for ICH4 (Audio-Controller
- O2Micro OZ6912-CardBus-Controller (PCMCIA-Adapter
- VIA OHCI-compilant IEEE 1394-hostcontrolle
- driver for the internal AC'97 Link mode
might this be a problem
In the System-information program (msinfo32.exe)
everything shows "OK"
Please help me to resolve this !
Is there any WORKAROUND immeadetly available ??
I am a software engineer, but I really dont know what to
do - after trying everything for 3 days now
Is it necessary to change certain BIOS parameters like PCI

work out why the difference! What is the right way to insert titles into
footage? It is a pity this is not covered in MM2 Help. Would appreciate

movie maker help
The FBI has been harassing and mentally torturing me for
two and half years since around Oct 01. The FBI has
installed
gps tracking devices in my car, tracked me like an animal,
wire tapped my phone and has been monitoring all my web
surfing
activities for 2.5yrs and completely dehumanized me.
The FBI agents have been following me 24X7X60X60 everywhere
including grocery stores, retail stores, malls,
restaurants and movie
theaters. The FBI agents who were following me have at
times
verbally and racially abused me in retail store and
grocery store
parking lots by shouting at me inanities.
One FBI agent once tried to ram into my car from behind
with a
comcast van and came within one inch of hitting me from
behind.
There was no traffic altercation between us and there was
no
traffic on the road. The FBI agent in the comcast van
never tried
to overtake me and was very angry at me and hated me for
no reason.
I have been unemployed for close to 3 yrs and When I send
resumes
to potential employers, the sadistic FBI agents who were
monitoring
my email and websurfing, have been badmouthing and
assasinating my
character with recruiters and jeopardizing my job
opportunities
for the last 2.5 yrs.
The FBI has been interfering in my personal life for no
reason.
The FBI has completely destroyed and denied me any sort
of privacy for 2.5 yrs. Each and every word I type and
post on
the web is being monitored and each and every email tapped.
The sadistic FBI has forced me to live like a virtual
prisoner
for 2.5 yrs with zero privacy and 24 hr real time video
focused
on me. I cant talk to friends, family members and
prospective
employers without the fear of being over heard and
recorded.
I am afraid of doing everything and anything without fear.
I am not a terrorist. I am not even a muslim. I dont have
any muslim friends. I am not a drug smuggler. I did not
kill
anybody. I did not threaten to kill anybody. I dont have
a
record like gottis or escobars. I do not have any prior
criminal record. Why should I suffer all this harassment
and
constant loss of privacy for such an extended period of
time.
I feel completely naked infront of the world and it has
been
like that for a couple of years.
I am not familiar with US legal system that much. Can
somebody
tell me why the sadistic FBI has such ridiculous
amount of power to harass and mentally torture me. WHy do
the
FBI has the right to think they are God and they are
always right.
WHy should my life depend on what the FBI thinks of me.
Why should
I be put through so much pain and suffering. Why do the
FBI has the
right to deny me privacy for so long. Who gave the FBI
the right to interfere
in my personal life and bad mouth and assasinate my
character with
potential employers. Why are the FBI agents telling
employers not
to hire me. As it is, it is very difficult to find a job
in this
economy and whatever few opportunities I get are being
screwed
by these fbi sadists.
On what basis, the FBI installed a gps device in my car
and tracking
me like an animal. On what basis did the FBI wire tap my
phone.
On what basis did the FBI tap and monitor my web
activities
and email for 2.5 yrs. I feel as if I was put in a 6x6
cell with
24X7 video focused on me and fbi agents standing around
the cell
and constantly poking me with sticks.
One undercover FBI agent sent an email and called me a
dumbass.
His email is sfrank9@aol.com and his ebay id is
spodekmodek.
Lot of FBI agents are harrassing me 24X7 in vehilces with
michigan title plates UFX 210 (white SUV), XRA 155 (black
car), BOGEY 27 (black car), PPL 587 (red car).
Assume everything I said is true and somebody with legal
knowledge
and expertise help me out here.
I do not have access to us.legal and misc.legal usenet
news groups. I would appreciate if somebody can do a cut
and paste this into us.legal and misc.legal news groups. Tag: pixelan Tag: 10038

CES Announcements and MM2
The annual tradition of making significant announcements at the Consumer
Electronics Show (CES) continues... on Wednesday Bill Gates made the keynote
address to the attendees, Press Releases have been streaming out, and some
websites are overloaded with traffic.
... so what's in it for users of Movie Maker 2? - here's two things I see:
1... The first of a new boxed 2-disc set of movies is now available for
purchase. The movie is Coral Reef Adventure which was made for IMAX
Theatres. The first disc in the set isn't that newsworthy as it is a
standard DVD. But the second disc is a new WMV-HD disc (High Definition),
which has two copies of the movie in WMV format. The WMV files have over 6
times the resolution of the DVD version. And the movie is really great.
One copy is 1280x720 and runs smoothly on my laptop, which meets the
recommended minimum CPU of 2.4 GHz. The other copy is 1440x1080 and doesn't
run smoothly for me.... it needs the recommended 3.0 GHz CPU.
For Movie Maker 2 users, I studied the parameters of the 1280x720 file and
made a custom profile so I can take my widescreen holiday videos and produce
them at those settings... the only thing I had to compromise on was the
audio... MM2 is limited to 2 channel stereo and the disc has 5.1 sound.
I put a copy of my custom profile on the website and updated the Saving
Movies > Custom WMV Profiles page with some info and a link to it...
2... DVD players that support the WMV format are on the horizon for April...
I updated the CD Burning > HighMAT page of my website and included a few
links... The error message when clicking on the Apex link seems due to '...
the amount of traffic exceeds the Web site's configured capacity...'

Movie file too big to copy from hard disk
I have created an edited movie that is almost 15GB... my hard drive is a 30GB and I can't create enough temp file space to copy the movie over to a DVD or DV-Camera...
My questions are these:
1. Is there a way to compress the original capture file to a smaller size than the 15GB?
2. The eidted master file for the movie is only 1.5GB (about 50 mins of content) ... is there someway to delete the original capture keep the edir file and then 'compress' the original capture.
3. I've tried freeing disk space but I don't have enough resident on the C: drive... I have an external drive E: that can hold 120GB. Can I use that as a temp storage swap drive?
4. I can't even copy the original capture to my external because it's just too big to come out of my laptop...
any ideas will be greatly appreciated as this project took me 4 days of editing and I'd hate to start from scratch...

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
