    - problem with finished project; hangs on one frame For a year now I've been working on a slide show with music and transitions for my in-laws 50th anniversary. I've saved it to my computer and a cd, but when I try to play them they only get so far (one gets 10 min in and the other gets halfway through the 47 min.) then it freezes on one frame and continues to play the music. I'm not even sure if it's saved right. It's impossible for me to start over, but is there any way to export it to another program that works better. I don't have much computer knowledge, so any help would be appreciated. I eventually want to burn it to dvd, so I need help with that, too. Thanks Tag: title split screen? Tag: 66322

    - Movie with Vista only Renders firewire connections in .avi format It does not give me the option of changing the format to a smaller sized format like wmv. Is there a way to change it?

    - Constant Errors. Recently, my Windows Movie Maker program has been running into errors that force it to shut down. I didn't mind this problem at first, because as long as my work was saved, everything was fine. But now every time I try to open a saved WMM file, it runs into an error and closes the program. It's become impossible for me to do anything with this program anymore. Is there a way to fix this? Tag: title split screen? Tag: 66319

    - Group policy Hi I'm running XP and have Moviemaker installed. I can view my movie files but Moviemaker tells me I cannot burn a dvd due to Group Policy. I've looked in the Help and tried to set the policy to enable me to burn onto discs but cannot find where to enable it. Can anyone please help. TIA Phil Tag: title split screen? Tag: 66318

    - Windows DVD Maker Shuts Down Computer I have Windows Vista Home Premium (there's apparently no newsgroup for Windows Movie Maker or Windows DVD Maker on Windows Vista) and I've created a nine-segment storyboard in WMM that covers about an hour and a half. I inserted a blank DVD-R disc in the drive and selected DVD under Publish To. I select Ok to open up Windows DVD Maker and select to burn the DVD. It progresses along fine for a short while until it gets to the 5.6% point. Then it abruptly shuts down my computer. What could be the cause of this? Any way to fix this problem? Thanks.

    - Music on Pix DVDs I have finished a 14 minute music picture DVD. The preview plays fine on the computer. When I put the DVD into a player (and I have tried several) the music is badly garbled for the first 2-4 minutes (it varies), then straightens itself out and plays fine the rest of the way. I re-burned it several times with the same result. I have looked all over the help sites for assistance on this and have tried several different things. Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated as I am running out of time (the DVD will be playing at a graduation party in two weeks) Thank you!!!!!! -- Have a great day! Tag: title split screen?

    - Can't Start Movie Maker: "Blocked by Group Policy" Greetings; I used Movie Maker with XP. When I tried to use with Vista, I get the message " This program is blocked by group policy. For more information, contact your system administrator". Since I am my "system administrator" and I have no idea what this means, that advice isn't very helpful. How do I turn on Movie Maker? I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, upgrading to the latest version, but got the same message. Tag: title split screen? Tag: 66310

    - Tivo Desktop Services Conflicts with MM2.1 For info.... I hadn't been able to use Movie Maker's narration feature for a while, getting a message about the audio device being in use by something else. It tuned out the Tivo desktop software added services that turned on automatically at system startup, and by turning them off, Movie Maker was back to being functional. Of course the error message didn't point to the Tivo service using the audio device, leaving it for me to figure out. -- website references are to www.papajohn.org PapaJohn (MVP) Tag: title split screen?

    - Soundtrafk on my video doesn't match the right clips I've never had this happen before. On my current movie, which I downloaded via my :Dazzle" converter, from camcorder to computer, once it completed the transfer, I played the movie and the firsts part of the audio played right on into the second portion and took away that dialogue. So I tried eliminating this by re trasferring the old video, abd beginning at the 2nd section. It continues to keep the dialogue from the deleted portion on it. Can anyone please give me a clue as to how to correct this? Many thanks, Tag: title split screen? Tag: 66308

    - Which quality to pick "Capture wizard" burn to DVD, quality looks I have a canon zr800 minidv. I am using xp movie maker to capture the video to computer an then would like to burn to dvd (on occasion would like to edit first). My question is, when the Video capture wizard pops up, I am not sure wich quality to select (dv-avi, high quality ntsc, video for Lan 1.0 Mpbps, etc). I tested several of the different options and the only formats I end up with is avi or wmv format. The video colour and quality does not look that great. Which format do I need, with the goal of eventually getting that video burn on a dvd? Do I need a different software and is there a free one that you can recommend? thanks. Tag: title split screen?

    - Video but No Audio I know this subject has been discussed here before, but I'm totally new to Movie Maker and to my Sony camcorder with hard drive, so I'd appreciate if one of you knowledgeable guys out there helped me.

When I just view the clip in the Picture Motion Browser, the software that came with the camcorder, both the audio and video play just fine. Can anyone help me, please? Tag: title split screen?

    - not getting full movie in playback after saving Hello, I've tried saving this movie about 5 different times and everytime i play it back there is something different wrong. At first one of the transitions was messed up but now the last 5 minutes of pictures won't play, but the music plays out. This is a combo of pics (jpegs) and music. I'm going to "Save as Movie" and saving it to an external hardrive with plenty of space on it. I'm not getting any error messages. It take about 30 minutes to actually save it and it automatically plays when it's done. What am I doing wrong? Why is it not completely saving and not giving me an error message?? Please help!!!

    - File size issue Hi all, I have created a few videos and Im having a problem with the size of them. I'm on a fairly old machine (13gb) using XP. I originally had a huge problem with frame dropping but overcame that by using another program to capture the footage from my camera and then importing it into moviemaker to fiddle with it. Now each file 8 minute piece is over 1gb (in .avi format) - lol .. its putting a strain on my hard drive. I want to decrease the size of each file. Please tell me how to do it - also please tell me whether I would be better off to convert the files to .wmv - or please tell me am I looking at the wrong program altogether. Im kind of lost so any help would be hugely appreciated. Thanks in advance, Samantha Tag: title split screen? Tag: 66283

    - Captured video being broken into small clips Hi.... I'm running MM 2.1 on XP and capturing video from a Sony HandyCam The video is all captured but gets automatically broken up into clips. e.g....I'm capturing a 25 second (approx) segment of video. This was a continuous shot....there were no breaks in the recording. MM seems to have indiscriminately broken this up into 3 clips. This has happened to other captures I have done.

    - .wmv file HUGE! I just tried the program this week - ALL week - simple, I thought. Take all the pics from the big party, add music and send it to everybody who was here and family who couldn't make it... not. the finished file was nearly 5 mg, but when I saved it as a movie, it ballooned to 15 mg! I tried converting it to avi. then it was 25 mg. Who knew? obviously not I. I can't email it, can't even put it on photobucket - it stops at 61%. i am at a loss with this. Do you think it would decrease the file size if I took the individual photos into Photoshop and reduced them? I considered that, but the 4mg is way smaller than the combined total of the pics, so I assumed the program compressed it already.. AARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can anyone help me? thanks in advance!
