    - Video quality I have succesfully recorded video to Movie Maker from a Sony Handycam thru the firewire port, but am shocked at the poor quality of the recording, versus what I watch directly on my Handycam. My idea was to put video from my camera to CD or DVD and save for posterity. I obviously have much to learn about doing this right. Where shall I go to start learning about the techniques, file choices, etc etc etc. Tag: an unknown error has occurred Tag: 22672

    - Windows Movie Maker 2 I am using a Sony DCR-TRV260 NTSC for making videos. I generally set the camera to LP for shooting video, but when I download to Movie Maker 2, my video comes out showing digital pixels which blurs the images, and distorts the finished movie. My question: Could this be caused by my camera settings, and should I changed my settings back to SP, or is there another problem I am not aware of when configuring my options in Movie Maker 2? Thank you Indigo Tag: an unknown error has occurred Tag: 22671

    - Audio vs Audio/Music I have still pictures (NO VIDEO), narration, and music that I want to all go at the same time. So the music is background and the narration is heard while the pictures are passing by. I cannot figure out how to get background music. It seems like the only way is if I have video. Audio levels don't work for both narration and music in the Audio/Music row of the timeline. How do you balance music and narration in the Audio/Music row? And if you can't, can you somehow insert audio into the Audio row and the background music into the Audio/Music row? Thanks! Tag: an unknown error has occurred Tag: 22657

    - Problems getting movie to go on cd I have tried every thing to get movie maker to put my movie on cd but it gives me an error message that says something like movie maker does not detect a burner on my computer. My computer came with a dvd burner. I tried to do what they say to do on the web site but none of that works. I have even un-installed and re-installed the program to see if that would help, it does not. I also can not save my movie on the hard drive as a mpeg so that I can get another program to burn it to the cd. What can I do? Tag: an unknown error has occurred Tag: 22652

    - Problems getting movie maker to transfer to cd I have used movie maker 2 to create a slide show of pictures. I like the way it looks but I am not able to transfer it to cd. It keeps giving me an error message that says it does not detect a burner on my computer. My computer came with the dvd burner, and it also had movie maker 1 in it. I downloaded the movie maker 2 every thing works but that . It also will not save on my hard drive as a mpeg file so that I can use another program to put it on cd. I have looked on the web site to see what I could do to fix this problem, but that does not work either. What else can I do to get it to work. I have even tried to remove it totally from my computer and re-installing it but that did not help. Tag: an unknown error has occurred Tag: 22651

    - Custom Effects and Transitions not working Downloaded the custom effects and transitions from MS. Followed the instructions, but still no extra effects. The original effects still work fine. The only thing I didn't understand in the instructions was compiling to visual c++. Not sure if this applies to me or not. Here are the instructions I followed: Create the AddOnTFX directory in Movie Maker's Shared install directory (C:\Program files\Movie Maker\Shared\AddOnTFX), and then copy the XML files from the XML directory in this sample (C:\MMSTFX\XML\*.xml) to the directory you created. Register the enclosed DLL, MMSTFX.dll, in the sample's Bin directory by typing regsvr32 c:\MMSTFX\Bin\MMSTFX.dll from the command line. Run Movie Maker and look for the new transitions and effects. When compiling this sample be sure to add the DXMedia SDK's include directory (C:\DXMedia\Include) to your Visual C++ include path.

    - Not recognizing mpeg files Occasionally, I take video footage on my little sony digital still camera and it captures audio and video in mpeg format. When I try to import that file into wmm (version 2), it will only capture about the first 5-10 seconds. Then it tends to freeze when working with that file. I like the easy ability to that wmm 2 offers to take a video file, and shrink it down into a size fit for email. That is why I take video footage with our still camera...little clips that I want to email, but still need to shrink. How can I correct this importing problem.

    - Audio out of synch I added some titles and credits to a MPG captured from my video camera. The credits take a while, so I added some background audio that plays while the credits are running. Then I saved the whole thing as a WMV (2.1 mbps NTSC). It looks fabulous when viewed in the media player, but when I burn a DVD (with Sonic MyDVD) the audio is horribly out of synch (the credits end WAY before the background audio does, even though they match up in the timeline). I thought maybe the background audio was the problem, so I switched it from MP3 to WAV, but no change. So now I'm thinking maybe it's a problem with the titles and credits -- it's almost like the timeline is distorted or it's dropping frames somewhere along the way. Thanks to anyone who can help!

    - Burning video to DVD I used the windows media codec to save 1 1/2 hours of home video footage and it compressed great (about 1 GB). I'm pleased with the quality, but when I bring it into SONIC MYDVD to burn it it says there isn't enough room. I'm using Windows XP Professional and the burned and compression worked great but how do I fit it onto a DVD? I've tried tons of different compressions including Microsoft MPEG4 Codec V.2 and the windows media codec seemed to give better results. If Sonic is reconverting it back into MPEG2 format that I don't get what good these better compression methods are if when you burn them you lose it? If anybody understands this please help. Thanks.

    - Firewire upload problem I have a Firewire card which came from an older PC (1999 ADS Technologies PCI card. Chip details: 94A3CEJ TSB12LV22 F71125A) When the card was installed, XP automatically defined it as a "Texas Instruments OHCI compliant IEEE 1394 Host Controller" & installed the drivers etc for it. I am trying to use Microsoft Movie Maker2 to import Digital Movies from a Sony Digital Handycam. Unfortunately this, and another program I have tried, inform me that "A video capture device was not connected. Verify that a device is turned on and connected properly, and then try again," I have checked the card details in Device Manager & there is no conflict & the device is "operating correctly". The IRQ assigned is 19 & not shared with any other device. Can you shed any light on what may be preventing recognition of the card/handycam.??? I have had the Handycam on & the movie playing, or paused when the program is started - still no recognition. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Dave Tag: an unknown error has occurred Tag: 22556

    - AVI or WMV I am creating a 20 minute movie (picture slide show JPGs) with 5 music (wma) files. I read on this board that the AVI format delivers the best quality for burning it on a DVD. However when I preview the avi in Sonic or in RealPlayer, the music at more than one occassion has a slight hickup . When I create a WMV file the audio is smooth but I am afraid that the quality is compromised. Is this a processor issue, or in other words when I create the AVI file do I want to shut down all other applications etc or is there something else I can do. Thanks.

    - Is this a MM2 Codec problem? When I add a WMA or MP3 music track to edited clips in MM2 and save the movie as DV-AVI or back to the camera, I get annoying sound clipping in the music track. This clipping usually corresponds closely to an edit in the video stream but it doesn't happen at every edit! The same problem is not nearly as apparent using WAV files or if the movie is saved at at WMV quality. I prefer to save at DV-AVI because this seems to produce higher quality DVDs than WMV files do. Does anyone know if this is a codec/bug problem in MM2 and if there is a work around? What codecs does MM2 use to encode DV-AVI? Is it possible to force MM2 to use particular codecs? GSpot tells me I have 215 codecs on my machine! Would greatly appreciate any advice. This is spoiling for me, what is otherwise an excellent program. Tag: an unknown error has occurred Tag: 22525

    - DV capture worked twice, then froze ... I got to capture 2 DV's from my Sony DCR-H16E and succesfully edit them etc. using Windows Movie Maker 2.0.3312.0. On trying to capture a third, the capturing freezes on the first frame and does not copy 1 image or second to disk. I've tried everything: downloading Movie Maker again, rebooting, reconnecting etc. I see this problem has been signalled before, but has not been answered definitively. On my brandnew PC (Pentium 4, 1.024 Mb RAM, 220 Gb disk, etc) I have all the updated versions of the related software, so that can't be the problem.

How are you connecting? Via firewire? If so then for best quality you want
to save teh file as a dv-avi file anyway, use this for editing and then save
to whichever format you require for the finsished product.
