    - saving movies Thanx papa john. . .i did a little research already and i was able to increase the amount of space for temporary internet files, i think i read to do that somewhere, and i did a little troubleshooting on my own. I went in and made a real small movie and it saved fine. I then went and tried to re-save my movie again. . .it is 1.2 gigs, to my surprise i got an actual estimate of time to complete, rather than just . . . .! So this is a start. I think my problem may be that my file is too big. Did i read something about splitting somewhere? Would that be the way to go or what? Or should i just try and save it as is. The time estimate was like 25373 mins or something. That is enormous amount of time. i have 23 gigs of disk space. -- Thanx!!! Tag: playing a dvd on my computer Tag: 47703

    - cannot save movie file Hi, I am getting this error message when trying to save my movie. WMM cannot save the mvie to the specified location. Verify that the original source file used in your movie are still available, taht the saving location is still available, and that there is enough free disk space available and the try again. None of these three things seem to be the problem. I am saving it to My Computer in My Videos folder. I have made two movies before and saved them successfully and burned them to DVD, but this time I cannot save it. Any easy answers?? Thank you! Tag: playing a dvd on my computer Tag: 47697

    - Error when adding music to movie I have a Panasonic NV-GS75 and I download my movies directly via Firewire to Microsoft Movie Maker 2.1. I can edit, add titles then publish my movies just fine. However - when I add in some music, I get this error: Error signature AppName: moviemk.exe AppVer: 2.1.4026.0 ModName: ffdshow.ax ModVer: 1.0.0.1 Offset: 0003c59f I'm assuming this is a problem with the ffdshow.ax codec. So I downloaded a newer version, ended up with the same problem. Now, I used to be able to put music be it mp3 or wav into movies no problem - this just came out of the blue. I'd appreciate anyone's assistance in this matter. Tag: playing a dvd on my computer Tag: 47694

    - iTunes has messed up MM saving function Unfortunately, I recently installed iTunes 6.0.2.23 and Quicktime 7.0.4. in order to view some quicktime movies from a friend. Now that I have done this, it seems that any new avi files I create in MovieMaker now result in files that play video, but Media Player 10 complains about being unable to download a codec, and I get no audio. Any suggestions? Thanks. Tag: playing a dvd on my computer Tag: 47693

    - Movie Maker stopped importing any of my .gif files Just about my favorite program is Windows Movie Maker. I have been using it since its inception with no problems at all. It suddenly stopped importing any of my .gif files with an error message that "this file is corrupted, or has been moved' It takes all my other files including .jpg, but will no longer open any of my .gif files. My question is, If it remove the program and re-install it, will it be the same or work as it has been doing for all of these years.

    - Audio when saving to AVI-PAL O'K... so I've created a nice movie in WMM2 with its own soundtrack, start- and end titles, transitions and so on. Took me round a week to do. Now I would like to save it down to one of my hard discs as an .avi file (PAL system) and than burn a HQ DVD. The saving process goes smooth, about 20 minutes ( movie itself has about 35 minutes), no comunicate about error or anything. The final file has round 7GB but it does not matter. Quality is perfect .... but there is no sound at all!!! I tried to save as any other file like .wmv. No problemo! Video and sound are O'K (with the quality typical to that system of coding). So why no sound at .avi?!?!?!? The source files are in .avi, from digital camcorder via IEEE 1394 (FireWire) and are perfect. Help needed. I would be very greatefull as well as my frinds. The movie is from New year's Eve Thanks in advance Tag: playing a dvd on my computer Tag: 47677

    - editing film clips I am new to recording and have a question. I recorded a video that is just a stationary shot of someone talking for a few minutes. One of the lights I was using is visible in the shot after I capture it to the computer (it was not visible on the viewing screen of the video camera). Is there any way to "crop" a clip? Or is there any type of effect you can use to eliminate the lights? Thanks you for any help you can provide. Toni Tag: playing a dvd on my computer Tag: 47669

    - Audio problems when editing home videos Does not seem to matter wich movie editing software I use. The talking seems pingy and distorted. Gets worse as the person's talking voice get's louder. Like a digital static. Not very good with all the technical details. Is there a fairly simple way to solve this problem. The video camera I'm using is a Canon Elura digital recorder. When movies played back on the camera itself or tv the sound is great. Any help appreciated Thanks Tag: playing a dvd on my computer Tag: 47657

    - Cant save movie and wondering about project files I am having trouble saving my project as a movie file (time remaining just goes up and up). I have a lot of RAM, a big hard drive, I adjusted the Virtual memory for paging files, I reduced the quality of the movie file to save, but nothing seems to work. I did remove project files which may be the problem (although I dont get a source file issue). I re-imported in the collections so that all the files would be there, but I'm not sure that did the trick. Can anyone help? THanks so much!! Tag: playing a dvd on my computer Tag: 47655

    - Timeline won't show video When I import the video into WMM and preview it from the Collections tab they work just fine, but as soon as I put them in the timeline and try to watch them they stop working.

I'm using WMM 2.0 (please don't tell me to upgrade as a solution because I don't have the space for SP2 and 2.1 is not available as a seperate download.) Tag: playing a dvd on my computer Tag: 47649

    - Audio and video out of sync I am trying to capture from a vcr using Pinacle's 500-USB device.

Everything I capture has the audio out of sync. It is about a half second behind the video. Is there anything I can do to solve this? Thanks, Jeff Tag: playing a dvd on my computer Tag: 47645

    - Importing Files w/wmm I captured analog video using the TV Tuner and WMM on my Dell XPS. I was able to watch the video during cature. It save the 30 mg file as a .wmv However, when I try to import the file MM displays an Importing FDiles box with two progress bars. Top bar is complete, bottom bar does not change. I have left it this way for 30 min. I know the video in reaching the hard drive. I also recorded the video using XP media center (considerably larger file) and was able to wacth it. However MM will not edit a Microsoft Recorded Video file, will it? Tag: playing a dvd on my computer Tag: 47628

    - WMM only saves part of the movie! I'm making a movie (or more of a slide show) that has several hundreds JPEGs in it. I'm up to about 15 minutes right now (at four seconds per picture generally). The movie plays fine in WMM itself but when I try to save it as an actual movie to my computer or to a CD it won't save the entire thing. I have plenty of hard drive space and I've tried it on a PC that has 512MG RAM AND 1GB RAM and the same thing happened. It says it saves okay but then when I play it in Media Player partway in the pictures stop rotating and the screen goes black and a couple minutes later the audio stops as well. Any ideas?

    - Hang upon Running WMM 2.1 When I open WMM 2.1, as soon as I click on something, the program hangs. It has been this way since I had to replace my hard drive. I have been to PapaJohn's WMM site and nothing posted there seemed to help. So I have come to believe that it is NOT a codec issue (at least not one of the 20 listed on PapaJohn's site) The only way I am able to get WMM 2.1 to run is to first remove the MEDIATAB*.DAT file in the folder C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Movie Maker. But this is absurd because the MEDIATAB*.DAT file contains all the data on the clips I had in the Collections folders, so upon removing this file, I have no clips to use and have to re-import them. But it is no guarantee that the program will not hang when I go to edit the clips. Even so, the next time I go to run WMM, it hangs, and I must once again remove the MEDIATAB*.DAT file if I wish to use the program. Is there anyone who can think of a permanent solution that allows me to keep the clips in the Collections folders? Because it defeats the purpose of getting the program to run if I have to remove the clips. It's like trading in the cart for a horse to pull it. Tag: playing a dvd on my computer Tag: 47618

    - Problem capturing audio in Windows MovieMaker When I try to capture a video I can only get the video only and no audio. I have a vcr hooked up to a Dazzle DVC (Digital Video Creator) 90 video capture card and have the proper connections (video in going from vcr to Video In on capture card and both audio inputs right and left) and just can't get any sound. I also have Studio 9 QuickStart software from Pinnacle Systems in which I can hear the sound and see the video together.

    - Error Message when selecting Capture from video device I bought a Dazzle DVC 80 and installed on my PC running XP. I was able to capture the video but no sound. I tried all different types of connections and input sources with the exception of MICROPHONE. I highlight microphone because I noticed someone else had the same problem that I originally had and Microphone was the Input option I needed. Well I seemed to have answered my first problem but I have a bigger problem. While I was trying to figure out how to get sound. I noticed that in the "audio device" dropdown it had my sound card listed. I also noticed that in the drop down was the video capture device "DVC 80 16k Audio(2). So I selected that...That did not work either. Now when I start up Movie Maker and hit "capture from video device" I get an error message stating "No such interface supported". I'm pretty sure its from me changing the audio device from my soundcard to the capture device. Unfortunetaly I can't switch it back because everytime the error message comes up I have to hit "ok" and it closes down where you can change the audio options. Anyone have any suggestions on how to remedy my problem. Thanks in advance...Juhnny Tag: playing a dvd on my computer Tag: 47605
