    - Destination folder Ok, I`m saving the movie file in DV-AVI format and my hd's file source is NTFS. When I try to save the file to 'My Videos,' the program shuts down and disappears. When I try to save to My Documents, it saves 30% of the movie and then gives me an error message telling me to check three different things (file source, destination folder and hd space) all of which are fine. I really think the problem is the destination folder. Help please??? Thanks, JArrod Tag: saving to my computer Tag: 21326

    - Inability to capture video I have used Windows Movie Maker before to capture video from the same camera I'm using now. However, the original capture had a sound problem, so I went back to capture it again. Now, when the "Capture from video device" dialog opens, it immediately gives a message of "No such interface supported." Once I press "OK," the dialog closes and I cannot change the settings for the capture to remedy this problem, assuming that is the cause. Any suggestions are appreciated.

    - No Sound in MM2 Hi, I am new to Movie Maker and am having some problems with it. I am capturing film from a Panasonic NVGS11EB digital camcorder over a firewire connection to my PC. I am following the MM2 capture wizard and can hear sound playing through the camcorder during this capture process. However, when I play back the clip in MM2 there is no sound at all. I do not have any other connections from the camcorder to the PC other than the firewire as I understood this to be all that was necessary. I have also confirmed that my PC speakers are functioning and have checked the camcorder and the tapes were recorded in 12bits rather than 16. Does anyone have any suggestions as I would really love to get the sound from my holiday tapes as well as the visual stuff. Many thanks in advance Su Tag: saving to my computer Tag: 21286

    - Can`t save in DV-AVI Hi there- I was using the wizard to save my movie and it gave me the option to save in a few formats (one for playback on the computer, camera, etc.) I`ve read that people recommend saving it to the one that is best for a camera (av-dvi, correct?) so I tried to select that one. It told me to plug in my camera. I don`t have a camera. What I`m trying to do is save the movie and burn it to a dvd +r using nero, for playback on my dvd player. Can I use another format, aside from av-dvi with nero that will playback on the dvd player once it is burned? Thanks, Tag: saving to my computer Tag: 21250

I have rently compiled my first movie and burned it to a Vcd, only to be told that it cannot be played on a DVD player this way. Could anyone please explain the easiest way to use MM2(as I think this is a brilliant and easy to use tool) and create a DVD that I can play in a normal DVD player. Also, am I right in saying, once I have edited a movie and want to transfer it back on to my camcorder cassette, do I need a firewire and not a USb cable?? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

    - No Audio from Firewire Capture Hi, I am new to MM2 and have a Panasonic GS11EB DV camcorder connected via a Firewire cable to my PC. I have captured the video using the MM2 wizard and during the capture I can hear sound through the camcorder playback but no sound is transferred to the PC. It is recorded in 12bit on the camcorder and there are no other additional audio connections from the camcorder to the PC as I did not think this was required. Does anyone have any ideas. I really want to hear the sound included in my holiday video. Many thanks, Tag: saving to my computer Tag: 21226

    - Effects and Transitions... My friends and I are making movies using MM2, but I'm finding I'd like a few more effects, transitions, and perhaps title options. I've found a few websites that sell transition packs, but we are on quite a low budget. Anyone know of a site that offers these kinds of things for free? Maybe a message board where people share their own creations? Thanks in advance. Tag: saving to my computer Tag: 21217

    - Does anyone know of a program that will actually do the things WMM Does anyone know of a program that will actually do the things WMM v.2, and previous versions, said they could do? I copied a VHS tape to CD, and now want to edit the approx. 30 min. video into much smaller clips, including deleting some of the blank clips. I feel lucky if I am able to transfer two or three clips before it crashes. I do not have sound on the CD. I can view it just fine as is, in WM Player; I just can't edit it in any way. There is contiguous space that would allow the clips to be saved contiguously, so what is the problem with the crashing, or just freezing up? It sure seems that no one really knows. Has anyone had success with WMM v.2? -- Jo Tag: saving to my computer Tag: 21210

    - Custom Transitions & Effects I have been trying to figure out the details about a particular portion of the document Microsoft has put together at: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnwmt/html/moviemakersfx.asp This mentions an Effect named Filter which has several EffectIDs and some ControlValues to go with each of the ID but nowhere in the article is it explained which ControlValues apply to which EffectID. Does any body know anyhting about these? For MS employees, how can I contact one of the persons who wrote this article? Can you kindly forward this message to either of Josh Cohen, Mike Matsel or Peter Turcan please or send me thier email address Basically the question is that: In the article mentioned above, the Filter Effects specify a set of generic parameters called ControlValue1, ControlValue2, ..., ControlValue8 etc.. Where can I find more details about these parameters and their contextual meanings corresponsing to each type of filter ? Thanks in advance Rehan Tag: saving to my computer Tag: 21207

    - How to increase DVD capacity Want to convert VHS tapes to DVD. Already captured it in AVI format (320-240 YUY2 25 fps), edited it in Windows Movie Maker, and saved as a project (*.MSWMM). Also saved the movie as a *.wmv file. I'd like to burn the movie (2 hours and 20 minutes) on a single DVD using MyDVD on the *.wmv file, however, according to MyDVD this would take 2 full DVD's. Reducing the bitrate while producing the *.wmv file doesn't help. Is there a way to reduce the file size and burn it on a single DVD? Preferably while maintaining it in the original VHS quality?

    - Saving Movie Problems I am having trouble saving movies in MM2. It is a intermittent problem. I can capture the audio/video okay and move the clips to the timeline okay. I can also make headers and ending credits okay. However, when it comes time to save the movie, I get a strange message about how I can't save the movie due to invalid source files, inadequate space, and/or a bad saving location. However, none of this is true, as I have plenty of RAM, plenty of hard disk space, the source files are intact and the destination is valid. There basically is NO reason the movies are not saving properly, as I haven't changed the settings from the last time I used MM2 a month ago (it worked fine then). FYI, I have done a Windows re-install since then, but that should not matter, as the most recent project was recorded since then. HELP!!! Tag: saving to my computer Tag: 21177

    - MM2 sound problem (16 bits or 12 bits) Hi, I'm capturing video from camcorder Panasonic PVDV53 using firewire and MM2 as capturing software in Windows XP. If I'm selecting WMV as target format in MM2 and later convert to MPEG2 and burn to DVD everything OK (but quality of video isn't so good and looks overcompressed a bit like VCD or bad DIVx). If I'm selecting AVI-DV format as target in MM2 and later convert huge avi file to MPEG2 and burn to DVD video quality is excellent and much better then in previous case but sound plays about octave lower. Strange that synchronization of sound with video still presents. I have noticed that problem presents if I'm using 16 bits sound mode in camcorder. For 12 bits recorded on camcorder sound everything OK. I have several films with 16 bits sound. Any suggestions how to fix it and convert to DVD (MPEG-2)? Problem exists for different MPEG-2 encoder software (Canopus, Nero). Thanks. Lady_Logic Tag: saving to my computer Tag: 21166

    - poor quality on DVD I finished my first movie with MM2 & the quality is terrible. It's grainy & jumpy. I transferred from my Sony video camera with firewire using iLink following the standard steps in MM2. The video when played on the PC is perfect. Something is lost when I transfer to DVD. I have tried several programs to transfer the movie to DVD including Sonic & Roxio. I've saved the movie as AVI (37 min movie won't fit on DVD!), NTSC (DVD player won't read disc), & the standard format used by MM2 program, whatever that is. Nothing has improved the quality. What can I do to capture the same quality on the DVD as on my PC? I'm not real PC savvy...I've read all the posts here & several other sites, but nothing has changed the end result of a DVD so poor I might as well not bother. Can anyone help?
