files onto my computer and how do I make sure I will be able to open them in

Effects/tricks?
Hiya,
I've posted this question before but didn't get any response so I thought
I'd try again.
Is there a way of making my clips/video/movies look like film format, or as
close to it as possible? An effect or something.

Image size on TV Playback
I recently made a movie with pictures and video.
I saved the movie to my external drive as a DV AVI and also a High Quality
Video.
When I play the movie with Media Player I can see everything exactly the way
it looked while editing the movie.
However, after it's burned to a DVD and played on my television, the tops
and sides of some of the images are cut off.
Any Suggestions?
Thanks! Tag: play back color Tag: 53488

Safe to continuously modify videos?
Let's say I want to create a compilation video, adding clips to it over time

Lossless video editing with DV-AVI (NTSC) setting (or other) possi
I can't seem to figue out why consecutive copies of an AVI file loses either
587 or 588 bytes. Steps taken:
1) Import Original.avi
2) Drag to timeline and save to computer with Copy1.avi name and DV-AVI
(NTSC) setting. It is 587 bytes less than Original.avi!
3) Clear everything out. Import Copy1.avi.
4) Drag to timeline and save to computer with Copy2.avi, etc. It is 587 or
588 bytes less than Copy1.avi!
I repeated this one more time and it is always 587 or 588 bytes less. From
all the threads this seems to be the best setting for lossless editing but it
doesn't seem to be lossless. Any thoughts? Tag: play back color Tag: 53483
Saving MM to DVD, copying DVD show to another DVD, it Can be done
Having worked 6 months trying to make a DVD slide show with music and 100
slides using WMM, I at last was ready to make my first DVD via USB DVD burner.
Unless you have a Full Blown off the shelf "I paid big $$$ for this
program", chances are yoou will have problems.
WHY? The various makers/marketers of programs that are included with the
purchase of a computer, are stripped down, lacking full features of the off
the shelf versions.
If you have a version of Nero or Jazz or Peanuts that came with your
computer and the computer is a DVD/CDRW, having no DVD burtning functions,
chances are very good you have no DVD burning options in the 'free'
strippeddown program. Meaning you have to upgrade your program to burn a
DVD,say, via a USB burner.
Now the good news may be that your DVDBurner came with a program. If so
check it out FULLY to be sure it will do everything you want. I was lucky.
Sonic was included with my USB DVD burner, very basic but enough to do the
job burning my completed slide show with music and transitions, to a DVD RW
disc that played on a set top box to TV.
Said Sonic also had an option for "Exact Copy" which then allowed me to copy
a fully readable DVD show disc to another disc, etc. for distribution to
family and friends.
I have found no incompatibility with different mfg, this scenario simply
recorded.
SO THERE IS HOPE.
Its often a long @)(#*$)(#@*$ way to Tipparary it seems.
Time and patience becomes short.
REread the above and maybe check out my frustrations at

HELP! How do I change the size of a clip?
Hi,
I am currently working on creatinga training video for work. I am
using a camcorder and recording audio at the same time. My problem is
that the clips keep cutting me off early, I'm talking about 10-20
second clips here not hours. I have used Camtasia in the past where
you can adjust clip duration, but I don't see any sort of setting like
this.
Does anyone know why it keeps cutting my clips short (and also creates
several small ones), or how I can adjust the length of these?
Thanks a million! Tag: play back color Tag: 53453
Help
Hi
Sorry if this topic has already been covered but I am at the end of my
tether and cannot find it in the archives. I am also getting stress from the
missus as I have not sorted this out yet!
I have a Sony DCR-DVD205 camcorder and have several DVD's already completed.
I now want to transfer them onto 4.7GB DVD's and re-use the 1.4GB disks
again. When I try to put them on my PC how do I only save the scenes that I
want? When I look at individual files they appear to be in the format of IFO
files and they open with Power DVD. Is this any good or is Windows Media
player better?
Secondly I have tried to transfer the files onto Windows Movie Maker for
editing and the files will not copy as they are in the wrong format???? How
do I change this please. I did go into a Sony centre but they were of no help
at all.
If anyone can help me then I would greatly apprciate it. Also if anyone
knows of anywhere there is a basic guide to working with DVD camcorders/Pc's
and video editing then please let me know.
Many thanks Tag: play back color Tag: 53452

Xvid-encoded avis and "has encountered a problem"
(also posted on the WMM.net forums - I'm pretty desperate here)
I'm really new to this, and I was having such a great time until I found
that WMM absolutely refuses to take the entre second season of the show I was
taking clips from. I get "WMM has encountered a problem and needs to close"
every single time I try to import one of these episodes.
I have done a few hours worth of reading and searching, but the common
solution to this common problem don't seem to work for me: I've un-checked
every single filter in Tools > Options > Compatibility. Could it still be a
problem codec with everything un-checked?
papajohn.org also says "A video clip with an .avi extension might be a
DV-AVI file that should work... [b]or an Xvid encoded one that doesn't[/b]."
According to Gspot, these episodes are Xvid-encoded. BUT, so are all of the
first season, and they import to WMM just fine!
So, I've no idea what the exact problem is. Do I need to change something
about WMM to get these files to import? Do I need to change something
somewhere else on my computer (rename files perhaps? Only, I thought you
didn't have to do that if you had WMM 2.1 - that un-checking would
suffice...)? Do I need to convert/recompress these files? If the latter,
what's the best way to do that? Will they lose quality?
I would reeeeallly appreciate help with this. I had so wanted to make this
little video, and was super excited upon figuring out the basics of WMM. Then
this great big brick wall... Tag: play back color Tag: 53446

"Tools" > "Options" Freezes WMM 2.1 HELP!
After successfully running WXP, SP2 for several years now and bieng fully
current with Microsoft Update, I decided to try WMM 2.1 (2.1.4026) after
roxio EMC 8 gave audio sync problems.
Dell dimension 8100
P4 -- 1.7 GHz.
2 HD: 40 GB & 250 GB
3.8 GB DDR RAM (1.5 GB on system partition; 2.3 GB on 2nd HD separate paging
partition)
When I opened WMM, everything seemed fine, UNTIL I tried to access the
"Options" category under "Tools" and elsewhere in the GUI to configure temp
file locations, filters, etc. Every single time, the app hangs and has to be
closed via Taskmaster. I've come to the conclusion that the installation has
somehow been corrupted, even though WXP is giving no other signs of
instability 9never once a "Stop" or other serious error. I have run several
sfc.exe passes and several chkdsk passes, but that didn't help.
As WMM is wed irrevocably to SP2, is there any way to repair the WMM
component? I REALLY DON'T WANT TO DO A REINSTALL OR "REPAIR" the entire WXP
installation, which is performing flawlessly. I'm thinking about deleting
the WMM folder and then running sfc.exe. Would that work?
Alternatively, is there a solution on the Microsoft XP installation CD
including SP2? What file or group of files would need to be installed to
replace the faulty WMM installation?

CONFIGURE IT! Tag: play back color Tag: 53404

Video ends right before audio
I created "music video" of our trip to Kennedy Space Center. I captured the
video to MM2, broke the video into clips, put the clips on the time-line,
added titles and transitions, muted the audio, then put the song Rocket Man
(a WMA file) on the music track. The video track and audio track end at the
same time on the time-line. The only extra stuff I did was add a scrolling
title at the beginning saying "One small step for man" - then the music
begins - and at the end I added a scrolling title that says "One giant leap
for mankind" with the music still playing. I snapped a picture of a frame
from the video - saved as BMP and inserted that between 2 clips. That's it.
When I save the movie to a WMV file it finishes ok. When I save it to an AVI
file there are very slight speed-ups and slow-downs and the ending scrolling
title ends before the word "mankind" displays though the music finishes find.
Any help would be appreciated. Tag: play back color Tag: 53385
