    - 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: save times 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 Steve Tag: save times Tag: 10107

    - 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 Steve Tag: save times Tag: 10104

    - 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: save times Tag: 10103

    - 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: save times Tag: 10092

    - mm2 distorts sounds or won't play at all I have been working on a mm project for my family that is using strickly pictures (no movie clips) and sound. I was using .wav files and everything was working fine. When I came back to the project a few days later only 2 of the 20 sounds I used worked properly. The rest either played at 2-3x the speed or it just sound like a squelchy white noise. I found that the 2 sounds that did work were mp3's. Soooooooo, I changed my sounds to mp3s' but excluding the 2 mp3's that originally worked all the mp3's are doing the same thing. I have tried everything that I can think of.

    - Titles and Audio Sync I insert titles into footage using mm2. All seems OK and I burn the project to DVD using MY DVD. When I view the finished DVD, one of the titles has made the audio on all the following footage to be out of sync, the same time delay as the length of the title. Take this title out and the sync is fine. The other titles cause no problem. I have experimented with different ways of inserting titles and the sequence of adding footage afterward, but can't 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 some help before I lose the will to live. Thanks Peter Tag: save times Tag: 10064

    - 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).

    - 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...' _________________ PapaJohn www.papajohn.org Tag: save times Tag: 10026

    - 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 Steve Tag: save times Tag: 10017
