    - computer to vhs tape OK, I've done some reading. I understand what I need to do to get tv or vcr into my computer and how to copy a movie to a cd, but I still don't understand how to get a movie from my computer to a vhs tape. How do I get a movie from my computer to a vhs tape? And, do some capture cards have capture only capability and others can capture and send (is that what's missing in my understanding of how to get the movie back to tape)? Tag: poor quality Tag: 12713

    - Re: .avi Storyboard/Audio Problems - PapaJohn - Thanks......but......... As you indicated, changing the name of .ivaudio does indeed stop the audio problem from occurring in Storyboard. However, at a price. The video, while playing right through, jerks or shudders a bit while doing so, and the sound plays through too but is of only average quality. In short, a clip played in Storyboard isn't a patch on a clip play in Collections. Something in MM2 is still trying to mess with the .avi file. So, I give up! ;-) Can I revert back to MM1? If so, how do I do this? If I have to use the XP Pro roll back feature, will any software that I have installed since MM2 - quite a bit - be removed also? I would be very grateful if you could advise me on this. I have to say that this whole experience has been, far and away, my worst with any Microsoft product. Not good at all.

    - New XP Pro install, MM2 update, MM2 now toast!!! XP Pro,. Radeon 64 DDR VIVO, Creative Webcam and sometimes Fuji S602 Z all connected. Latest Radeon Cat 4.2 installed. Movie Maker was working. Didn't test it fully but I'm pretty sure I started it up and the composite input off Radeon came up. Been doing the thing at Windows update (new install) and noticed the MM2 update so did it also. Now when I choose to start recording MM2 hangs. Supplied help seems to indicate a video device selection dialog box should come up but it never does. Any ideas? I havem't updated WMP from 8 and would prefer not to. Hopefully that's not a requirement is else the update site would have indicated same. Also I can't find any "Remove" for MM or MM2 in Add/Remove under any of the choices. I can seem to use all the video devices in MSMessenger, the VFW's devices (cams) in NetMeeting and ATI's TV-In app is working finest kind. tia for any help. If nothing else, how do I remove it? Surely it's not delete the folder and manually purge the registry? Tag: poor quality Tag: 12698

    - Fonts and Colors OK, this will seem a bit stupid, I'm sure. but here it is anyway; I cannot find the ability to change fonts, colors, or alignments for an overlay. I've read the help file that states, "Selecting the title font and color This page lets you choose the font and colors for your title or credits. By changing the font and colors, you can change the appearance of the title to enhance your movie. The following options appear on this page."... however, I'm not seeing this option anywhere. When right clicking on the text, most MS programs give the option "FONT". This one does not. Did I miss an instalation file? Am I completely in the dark about something simple and stupid? I can see my title, the overlay works fine, I've tried in both without starting a new project, and in a new project - what I would like to do is to have an overlay in a semi transparent font in the lower right hand side of the screen.

    - Analog capture thru sony dv camera I am trying to capture analog video using my Sony TRV38 digital video camera as a converter.I am using an IEEE1394 connection.When I go to capture the video it shuts the camera off. The only way I can capture the video is if I turn the camera on first. Then select record pause on the camera in vcr mode, and then connect the IEEE1394 cable. I get an error message, close it, then it starts to capture the video. Is this the only way to capture analog video thru my digital video camera using a firewire connection?

    - further important clue to my WMM problems::: In my ongoing quest (about a month now) to clean up the excessive jerky, hic-cup-py platyback of video in my WMM2, I want to add the following clue: After I capture video, there is that horizontal green progress bar, that I think(?) says somethng like "loading", but now it just zips(!) right through itself instantly ... whereas in the past when my WMM2 was working *right*, that bar would slowly progress left-to-right as it gauged the processing of my captured video Anyhow, nowadys, it does none of that - it just blows right through it. Can this suggest something? Is something zapped on my system? I've tried reloading WMM2 a few times; no luck ... still stranded on an island .. with no WMM2 to play with ..... help ..

    - DVD player that plays back WMV 2Q2004 When this player is available I think I will finally take the plunge and convert my edited DV files to high qaulity WMV. http://www.pcworld.com/news/article/0,aid,114279,00.asp I currently use the free Windows Media Encoder 9 Series to convert my DV files to a WMV format with goood quality and that could tolerate a few re-encoding generations if necessary. However, I am reluctant to delete any DVs because I don't know if the format I selected will playback in a hardware device. This player would validate that. This is my current "Encode DV.bat" file: cd \program files\windows media components\encoder rem the following command is all on one line cscript.exe wmcmd.vbs -input "C:\Video\Edited" -output "C:\Video\Encoded" -v_codec WMV9 -v_mode 2 -v_quality 85 -v_keydist 1 -v_preproc 1 -a_codec WMA9PRO -a_mode 2 -a_setting Q75_44_2_24 rem pause so that you can see any possible errors in the command pause The script above encodes all files in "C:\Video\Edited" to variable bit rate quality level 85 deinterlaced, audio quality level 75. The results are placed in "C:\Video\Encoded".

    - Replacing video with slide show Can someone please help me find the "least expensive" software that will allow me to replace video while continuing to hear the audio associated with that video. In other words, I have a video clip of my father discussing his early life. While he is talking, I want to fade into still pics of his early life. This is not like a narration where I would add voice to a series of still pics, but rather the opposite. Replacing the video while leaving the audio I was told that WMM might do this, but I have not been able to figure it out if it does. If it will, I would appreciate any assistance you might be able to provide. If it won't, does anyone know a software package that will.

Hi guys. I just tried to edit my home video I made on my DV JVC. When I put back my editing version to DV and play it on TV I noticed the significant downgrade of the picture quality. Is it what usually happen after transfering movie from DV to PC and back to DV or am I doing something wrong?

when you are downloading the movie onto your computer you will need to save the file as a dv/avi file.
This will take up a significant amount of space on your hdd (many GB's)
For a 20 min video you are talking 4 Gb's

The beauty of transferring DV-AVI files to your PC is that there is supposed
to be "no" loss in quality from the camera to the PC and back. Of course
there is some loss when you add transitions and other effects. But is all
you do is cut. Theoretically it should be nearly identical.
