1.Re: VHS tapes to DVD
Posted by Scsifun on 2/10/2005 1:40:32 PM
I've been using MyDVD for a long time now and have had great success creating DVDs from Movie Maker.

2.Re: Movie Maker doesn't support Quick Time Movie Format
Posted by Scsifun on 7/24/2005 12:06:50 PM
Movie Maker doesn't import QuickTime. If you have the option I would use another camera that outputs AVI clips. QuickTime is a format created by Apple Computer and I'm sure there's a bunch of legal stuff if Movie Maker wanted to handle those file types.

Some Cameras, my Sony for example, output clips to MPEG and they work fine. BUT, I've heard that some users have problems importing MPEGs too.

There are programs that will convert QuickTime to AVI. Use google ...
3.Re: MyDVD v6.1 - "Transcoding Audio" - application freezes/locks up
Posted by Scsifun on 8/3/2005 11:59:49 AM
Check out the forums at VideoHelp.com. They straightend me out. I had a problem transcoding and we found out that is was my DVD burner. I returned it to Comp USA for another one and had no more issues.

Good luck

You can do the Picture in a Picture effect. See http://www.windowsmoviemakers.net/PapaJohn/32/Movie_Maker_Picture-in-Picture.aspx

Great job and example of making a movie out of screen captured video game footage.

Nice videos. Was that all created in Movie Maker?

Posted by Scsifun on 7/1/2006 10:33:47 AM
I have to agree that Internet Explorer 7 is a huge improvement.
8.Re: .... who is PapaJohn?
Posted by Scsifun on 8/30/2005 6:07:17 PM
That's very nice John. Did you hire someone to do the voice over, or is that your voice. If so you may want to consider a 2nd career in radio.
9.Re: transferring video from camera to computer via firewire
Posted by Scsifun on 10/15/2004 4:59:33 PM
My Sony TRV camera will not get recognized by Windows XP unless I install the camera drivers that came on the Sony CD. I haven't tried it via FireWire, only USB so far.

If youre doing Pictures and Sound, then use Windows Photo Story 3. Here's a link to the free download http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/digitalphotography/photostory/default.mspx

11.Re: Flash or LiveMotion in MM?
Posted by Scsifun on 1/27/2005 4:53:58 PM
You would need to convert the Flash file to an AVI and import it into Windows Movie Maker.

Here's an example of a tool that would accomplish this - http://www.winmpg.com/SWF-to-AVI.html

I dont recommend that link, it's just the first result I found from searching "Convert .SWF to .AVI".
12.Re: Offbeat movie recommendation...
Posted by Scsifun on 8/26/2005 11:14:24 AM
I agree, great movie!
13.Re: Encountered A Problem?
Posted by ScsiFun on 8/23/2005 7:45:13 PM
What is Studio? Visual Studio?

You should be starting Windows Movie Maker.

14.Re: A day at the phillies game

Nice Job Paigesterr... Too bad there isn't a spell checker within Movie Maker. Durring = During. Common mistake. ;)
15.Re: Plus Photo Story
Posted by ScsiFun on 8/20/2005 6:46:58 PM
What I did was bring three songs into Windows Movie Maker and then select save movie(even though I had no video. Movie Maker then saves it as a audio file). It saved the 3 songs as one long song that I then imported into PhotoStory.
16.Re: my videos wont play...please help!
Posted by Scsifun on 2/25/2005 11:13:10 AM
It sounds like you are having issues with the codec needed to play the video. Take a look at PapaJohn.org for some troubleshooting tips.
17.Re: I am new here want to ask....
Posted by Scsifun on 8/11/2005 7:14:19 PM
When you rip the file from the cd turn off the protect my music box. Songs downloaded cant be inported if the have protection on them.

21.Re: Capturing to 2nd Hard Drive
Posted by Scsifun on 4/3/2005 11:33:05 AM
I would contact Seagate's tech support ... A 7200 rpm drive should be plenty fast.

23.Re: Real Video?
Posted by Scsifun on 3/19/2005 8:21:33 AM
There's tools that do this. I found this one by searching google, but theres most likely others http://www.riverpast.com/en/support/tutorials/convert/rm/wmv.php
24.Re: Import problem
Posted by Scsifun on 2/25/2005 11:23:09 AM
I've read somewhere that by opening the file with an editor and then resaving it will fix the index issue.

Check Microsoft.com/windowsmedia for a the Windows Media Editor tool.
25.Re: I need movie maker one
Posted by Scsifun on 1/27/2005 4:56:35 PM
Search Ebay for a copy of Windows ME. Windows ME is the only place you can get Movie Maker 1.

Can I ask why you must have version 1.0?
