Re: Can't import DV into Movie Maker in AVI format 8/22/2010 9:39:52 PM   (Total replies: 1)
Typically WMV files work Movie Maker. Have you tried bringing the WMV directly into Movie Maker?

Re: AVI problems 8/5/2010 7:51:48 AM   (Total replies: 1)
I've had problems splitting clips in the collection bin myself. What has helped me was reducing the hardware acceleration. If you either select Display in the control panel or right click on your desktop and select properties, it should bring up the Display Properties box. If you click on Settings then the Advanced button, another dialog should come up. This time, go to Troubleshooting and there should be a slider that goes from none to full. You want to move the slider until it is under ...

You could check and see if there is an updated driver for your video card.

I'm running XP myself. I'm not sure how to walk you through updating your drivers through this forum. You might ask on Microsoft Answers. There should be some people there who might be able to give you some advice on checking your drivers.

Re: Soft background music and voice over together? 8/15/2010 3:23:04 PM   (Total replies: 0)
You can do it, but not in one pass in Movie Maker. One way to do it would be to render the movie (File->Save Movie File) with either the background music or the voice over. Then, import the movie you just saved and put the other one in and render the movie again. (it is important that you go to File->Save Movie File to do this) You might want to convert the MP3 to a WAV file before using it in your movie. MP3s can cause Movie Maker problems.

Re: Importing Clips into Collection 8/9/2010 10:04:49 PM   (Total replies: 0)
It sounds like you are probably using Movie Maker 2.1 or 2.6. If that is the case, you are doing nothing wrong. That is how those versions bring in clips. I only have XP, so I don't have any first hand experience with version 6, but I remember reading that it is supposed to bring clips into a single collection.

If you have XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) or Service Pack 3 installed, you should have as up to date of a version as will run on XP. If you go to My Computer and click on View System Information or right click on My Computer and select properties, it should bring up the System dialog which should say which Service Pack you are on. If you don't have SP2 or SP3, installing either of them should get you the most up to date XP WMM.

One thing you could try (not sure if this will work) is to reduce your graphics card hardware acceleration while working in Movie Maker. If you then turned it back up after you are done in Movie Maker, other applications should not be affected.

What file types are you bringing into Movie Maker when it crashes. My camcorder records MPEGs and if I bring several of them into Movie Maker, it crashes. If I bring one in at a time and then use Movie Maker to save the file to either a DV-AVI or WMV, I can then bring those into Movie Maker and work without crashing. If your files are not DV-AVI or WMV, I would suggest going to www.papajohn.org and reading up on converting the files. You can also find custom profiles there for saving as ...

Can't edit clips in collection 2/16/2010 10:33:23 PM   (Total replies: 0)
After converting my video from MPEG files off the camcorder to WMV files using one of PapaJohn's custom profiles, if I split a clip in a collection, the part after the split won't preview. The first part of the clip will. Any ideas why? I'm running version 2.5 (the XP Media Center version) on XP. The files originally came from a Canon FS20 camcorder. I used the Pixela Imagemixer software to get the files off the camcorder and then read them into Movie Maker to convert them.
