    - Slow CD burning I spent about a week editing a movie I shot with the help of my camcorder on Movie Maker 2. The movie is quite long and even after editing, goes for about 1 hour 10 minutes. When I put a blank CD in and started burning, why did it say that it is going to take approx. 230 minutes to finish the job? I accept the fact that the movie is long, but why almost 4 hours? Any suggestions to that? Thanks, Sarang Tag: this comic book just came out about the effects of copyright on docu. films and fair use... Tag: 48982

    - Importing a video to movie maker Hi I have recored a video utilizing Hitachi dzmv730a camcorder which utilizes mini dvd-r discs. Once I finalized the disc and put into my computer windows media player automatically runs the video. If I open movie maker and try to import it from my d drive it seems not to reconginize that there is a movie on the dvd. I know there is deffinately a movie on the disc since I viewed the movie through media player. Is this even possible to do? -- Brandon D Tag: this comic book just came out about the effects of copyright on docu. films and fair use... Tag: 48976

    - Movie Files Very Dark Greetings! I apologize for the redundancy of this post, but I posted a similar question several months ago, and now can't find it. THIS TIME I'm noting where and when I'm posting... Anyway, I'm using Movie Maker with Windows XP Home Edition. When I capture the Digital 8 video from my Sony Handycam, using USB streaming, the clips are very dark and somewhat jumpy. When I posted this before, whoever replied (thanks, by the way) said that I shouldn't be using USB, that I should be using something else. I don't know what the other thing was; now I'm looking for a new system, and I want to make sure that if a port, cabling, or other hardware is necessary, that I include it when I get the new system. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks, Jay Tag: this comic book just came out about the effects of copyright on docu. films and fair use... Tag: 48966

    - Can't convert .avi file to .wmv file :( I am trying to convert .avi file which has video and sound (the file is 685 MB) to .wmv file using Windows Media Converter 9 (so that I can use it in Movie Maker to make music video, otherwise it doesn't work), but the file does not convert to .wmv-smaller files convert, but not this one.

    - Movie Maker crashes and gives error messages-please help! I'm trying to make music video using videoclips from .avi file which has video and sound (the file is 685 MB). I created clips by using 'split' option and clips work fine by themselves, but when I put them on timeline, they don't work together-Movie Maker freezes and crashes. I also imported audio file (song-mp3 file) and made it so that combined length of videoclips and the audio/music fit together), and I was able to save file as MSWMM file, but whenever I tried to save it as wmv (movie) file I keep getting message 'Can't save it as a movie file, because clips have been modified after importing or are missing'. Then I tried creating clips by importing file automatically and then adding same audio/music file and I was able to save file as MSWMM file, but whenever I tried to save it as wmv (movie) file I also keep getting message 'Can't save it as a movie file, because clips have been modified after importing or are missing'. I have done full system anti-virus scans and full system spyware scans and I didn't find anything corrupt/infected. I had done everything according to the4 instructions in the 'help' section of Movie Maker and I also followed aqll the instructions of creating a movie using Movie Maker in utorial for beginners on this site and I looked through other tutorials, but I couldn't find the source of the problem and the solution to the problem. Please help. Thank you very much for your time. Yours sincerely, dzved Tag: this comic book just came out about the effects of copyright on docu. films and fair use... Tag: 48931

    - Unable to play and edit .mpg clips in my movie.. Please help...I am in a time crunch. I am making a composition video for a school basketball team using both DV clips and still pics. This is my first time using video clips. I have the clips captured (ULEAD pro 7.0) , I can import the clips into mm2 and place them in the timeline. When I captured the video, I used the video only and skipped the audio with my plan to dub over an audio track later. I see the clip in the timeline, but when I try to watch (edit) it, the screen goes black. I apologize now if the answer is in the additional 64 pages of posts, (If it is, and you know where to find it...let me know.) but I don't have the time to read every previous post. The rest of my movie if coming along nicely, but the video clips will be a great addition. BTW, I have an XP system with 3 gig of ram and a 200gig HD. PLEASE help.

    - TWO + WASTED DAYS! I spent the last 2 + days editing a movie using Movie Maker. Only experienced about 9 system lock-ups, strange happenings, etc. which I consider successful for this piece of $#&* code. Well the last error "LOST ALL MY WORK", prior to that I would either restart the system or MM, the system would start and ask about a file that was saved, nice touch. It appears what has happened was at the previous restart and file message, after restoring the saved file, MM erased the backup file, ergo no backup until another automatic save. I have had it with this product. Approximately 19 hours down the drain. Does anyone know of fixes for MM, or any other product that can at least stay up and run.

    - Moved files and now movie won't play - please help!!! I am working with Windows Movie Maker. It seems that anytime we try to move the movie (and clips) to a different location from the one in which it was created, it will not run (Xs replace the individual clips). It seems that the program is still trying to find the files from their original source (e.g., if we move the files from the C: to the H: including all of the clips in the movie, Movie Maker is still trying to run each clip from the C:). Any suggestions on how we might get around this problem? -- if you can''t be a positive example, at least be a horrible warning!

    - MPEG2 Not Windows Movie Maker choked when I imported an MPEG2 file. So I search Microsoft's support and found the note about WMM not be able to import MPEG2 files even if Windows Media Player could play them. It suggested that Windows Media Encoder would be able to convert the file. I downloaded and installed WME. I tried using the wizard but when I clicked on finish WME just disappeared. I then skipped the wizard and tried manually defining the input and conversion. When I hit apply WME hung. It would not repaint. It did respond to the minimize button but it would not close. When I tried using Task Manager to kill it the dialog box that asks if you want to send a report about why you had to kill a program popped up but WME didn't go away. It wasn't using any CPU cycles so I just minimized it until I could log out and reboot. The file was created on the same machine with Video Redo Plus editing a clip. I just wanted to convert it to an WMV file to put on a web site. I can run it through Nero first to convert to an MPEG1 but that shouldn't be necessary. Any idea on how to get either Windows Movie Maker or Windows Media Encoder to work with MPEG2 input would be appreciated.

    - Save as .avi not dv-avi All the posts about avi files seem to relate to the dv-avi for use with camcorders. I just want to save my movie as an .avi file for storage on my CPU (without it being 40G). Is this possible? I have other feature length movies which are at most 1.5G and yet when I tried to join two 714M clips it was going to be nearly 40G to save as a dv-avi. Should I be using a different program if all I'm doing is joining seperated movie clips into a single file?

    - firewire and WMM Hi, I'm new to WMM and to camcorders, and video in general. I have a brand new WinXP pro SP2 systyem. I just purchased a Panasonic PV-GS150--used. It appears to be in good shape. And I can record and transfer the video to WMM via usb just fine. But I also got a DV-firewire cable. When I try to transfer my video to WMM with the firewire connection, WMM says "A video capture device was not detected...." I called Panasonic techsupport and they told me that they didn't think the problem was in the camera but rather in the sdoftware. I am wondering if anyone else has had this problem? Is WMM capable of capturing video over a DV-firewire cable? I can live with the usb connection (USB 2.0) but isn't firewire faster? -- DW In the High Desert of Central Oregon Tag: this comic book just came out about the effects of copyright on docu. films and fair use...
