Error when trying to save...
In windows movie maker, when I try to save my movie, it gives me the
following message:
"Windows Movie Maker cannot save the movie to the specified location. Verify
that the original source files used in your movie are still available, that
the saving location is still available, and that there is enough free disk
space available, and then try again."
However, all my files that are used in the movie are still in place, and my
disk space is half free. Does anyone have a suggestion for my problem? Thanks
in advance. Tag: Any sites with free background video loops? Tag: 27812
Movie Size
My question has to do with the size of movies. To me, it seems that if you
want to burn a home video, it should be captured and burned in the highest
quality possible. When doing that, the file sizes are huge. I have never
actually put 2 hours worth of footage together of my kids, but from the
smaller sizes that I have played around with, it seems like the file size
would be bigger than the size of a dvd (not including the dvd menu items).
What format should I capture in to have a great quality 2 hour movie, but
have it small enough that it could be burnt to dvd?

How can I preview my clips on the timeline
It's really strange because i'm familiar with movie maker but in version 2 I
cannot seem to manage to see my clips. The video file is mpg and the clips
and the frames are trimmed as normal, if i select the clip in the source area
i can play it but when i place it in the timeline and try to preview my work
nothing shows up. I tried putting audio and the clips together but only the
sound comes up.
Also when i drag my clip into the timeline and try trimming it with the
arrow cursors i cant see it in the proper monitor screen like Movie Maker 1.
Please can someone tell me how i can view my clips that have been edited on
the timeline??? HELP!!!! Or at least tell me what could be causing this. Tag: Any sites with free background video loops? Tag: 27809

Moveimaker 2 file will not open in 2.1
I have 2 computers both with XP Pro. I created some movie porjects in MM2 on
my desltop which does not have SP2. I copied the applicable files to my
laptop (clips and MM file) but when I try to open the project on the laptop -
it says that the file is not one that MM can open.
What is going on here? I've reloaded MM2 on the laptop but do not want to
upgrade my desktop as at this rate I will lose all my work. Tag: Any sites with free background video loops? Tag: 27802
Wrong Video Size
I have created a movie from two clips both of 720x576 resolution. I choose to
save the new movie with the profile DV-AVI PAL which states that it will
create a movie of 720x576 resolution. But when I play the created movie in
windows media player (view size 100%) it is streched to 768x576. The original
two files plays properly.
Anyone now how to get the correct size?
I Use Movimaker 1,1 and have no possibilty to update beacuse of company
policies.

No Video After Saving
After saving my MM2 movie (about 600 jpg's with MP3 music), the saved .wmv
(created with the 'Save to my computer' option) shows only the beginning 3
title pages, then hangs displaying the last title screen, and continues for
the next hour with music only. It plays fine from within MM, just fails from
the saved file. Also, I notice that the saved file is only about 54 MB
instead of the aprox. 450 MB it says it is saving at creation time. So I
assume something is going wrong in the save process and the video is not
getting saved. I didn't get any error messages during the save process and
have plenty of disk space.
Ideas?

Video quality
Hi, i'm making a video with MM2 from some .jpg that have a resolution that
exceed 1024x768 but when i save the video on my hard disk and play it, the
image in full screen is not in 1024x768 but in 640x480 or at most 720x550.
I need to make a video that mantain the .jpg size and quality (at least
1024x768), how i can do this?

Collection Created in MM1 and now trying to access them in MM2
Hi. I've spent countless hours creating my collections of movie clips in MM1
and now I got another (more powerful and newer) computer that has MM2 on it.
When I opened up MM2, none of my collections were there- but I could get the
video I captured from my video camera (but it was clipped).
I jumped on the forum and read papajohn's post re: getting the collection
backup file (mine was called "Windows Movie Maker.COL" since it was a MM1
file). When I tried to paste the file in the recommended folder...
\Documents and Settings\UserAccountName\Local Settings\Application
Data\Microsoft\Movie Maker...but I didn't even have a folder for Movie Maker.
Thus, I created one in the Microsoft Folder so that the path would be
duplicated as recommended.
However....no collections are still present. Any tips on getting a .col
file to work in MM2? I really, really,really, really need something to work!
Thanks!

Questions about Movie Maker
I would like to burn a slide show of family pictures onto a DVD...but Nero's
DVD creation software is not quite up to par. I would like to use Windows
Movie Maker to create an MPEG of my slides. But I have a few
questions/problems:
1) I have Windows Movie Maker installed, but it's version 1. I am unable to
locate version 2 in Windows Update. What's going on?
2) When I preview slides in Movie Maker, and click the Full Screen button,
my images (JPG) are extremely pixellated and jagged.
3) Is Movie Maker this plain? How do I insert transitions? How do I control
the delay for each image in the slide show? How do I get into the in-depth
control of my project?
4) Are there any freeware applications out there (or unrestricted trials)
that will allow me to create a pleasant-looking slide show to convert to
MPEG?
Any information is appreciated. Thanks!

Movie Maker 2.1 Crashing
I'm not sure if the problem I'm having is related to XP SP 2 or not because I
think it might've been happening before that. The problem I have is that
Movie Maker hangs and does not respond. This primarily happens when I'm in
the process of capturing video. I'm able to capture video if I do short
clips, but the longer I go into the process, the more of a chance there is
that it will crash. One way I can tell that it's about to crash is if no
preview is being displayed when I'm playing the video on the camcorder (not
capturing). It has crashed at other times as well, but it crashes just about
every time I try to capture something. I have a Sony Digital 8 Camcorder and
I'm capturing through a firewire. It seems that somehow the camcorder and my
computer stop communicating during the process. However, I've done a test
capture using WinDV, and it seems to work fine. But, it does seem to be a
little choppy in places when doing the test capture. Does anybody have any
suggestions on what the problem might be?

Loosing Entire Audio / Music when using slo motion clips in AVI ou
I am trying to make a Youth Sports highlight music video.
If I try to export to DV-Tape or any AVI based file, I loose the entire
Audio / Music part ONLY during the slow motion parts.
Audio is fine any other time. I need the AVI based file to be able to burn a
DVD.
WMV versions run fine.
I have captured the clips from my sony TVR740 thru sony DV-Motion via (1394)
on a VAIO desktop. The clips I am having problems with contain parts of it
in Slow Motion. (I play the cam corder tape in slow motion, and have DV
motion capture it that way.)
I then import the clip, (the video clip's audio naturally mutes when in the
slo motion parts.) ( I have also tried to Mute the Video sound track without
any improvement)
I have imported a MP.3 music file for the Audio/ Music track. (Have tried
replacing with a Wav file without any Improvement)
Playback on the PC (preview) or to a WMV is fine.
Surely someone else out there captures clips in Slo Motion.
Help!!

Converting NTSC into PAL
Hello,
I created an NTSC VCD in the following three steps:
1. Captured and edited movie using WMM in DV-AVI mode.
2. Used TMPGEnc to create an MPEG-1 file specifying NTSC mode.
3. Used VCD Easy to burn an NTSC VCD.
Now, I want to create an exactly same PAL VCD. Do I need to repeat step 2
also specifying PAL option, or can I just specify PAL option in step 3 in
VCDEasy?

Slide show works now but poor video
Thanx to Papa Johns posts I figured out how to make a slide show work from my
DVD player. First I used the TPMG encoder to make an Mpeg 1 then I used the
CDEasy software link I found on Johns web site. I was thrilled that it worked
but the pics during the slide show are very poor quality. I use a 3.1 mp dig
cam and the pics were taken on the lowest resolution setting. Could the low
resolution setting be the reason for the poor quality? I can increase the
resolution but then I only get about 20 pictures. It only has an 8 meg CF
card and it only supports up to a 32 mg. Should I get a new camera that
supports more memory and use it on the high resolution setting?
Or......should I save the movie file as an DV-AVI file and then make an Mpeg
2 and then use the CDEasy softwware? Sorry, I know it's a lot of questions
but this is my first day working with MM2 and I have alot of questions but
I'll save them for another day. Thanx Papa John !! Tag: Any sites with free background video loops? Tag: 27681
