That is, I saved a vid' from the site & I'd like to cut a portion of it out
altogether.

Is that do-able w/ WMM?

btw, I don't think I have the latest version.

I seem to have the opposite problem usually posted. My slideshow - video in
MovieMaker works great in Movie Maker -saved as a video. with the .wmv
extension. When I tried to burn it onto a DVD it can't or wont do it. So I
downloaded a trial conversion software AVS Video Converter (have to purchase
it or get the logo throughout movie- any other ones you suggest that are
GOOD- Free and won't download a bunch of JUNK. I ask it to convert it to a
DVD file - there were other choices like MP3, Mpeg, AVI - I will do any file
type - just want to know which one won't be blurry that I CAN Burn onto My
DVD blank Discs and PLAY on our TV.

Going Crazy!!!

my son has recently made a number of "videos" in WMM and has tried to upload
them on to YouTube, however as they are in .MSWMM format they will not
upload. They have to be in a .WMV format. How do you tranfer into .WMV format
from .MSWMM?

Does anyone know how to get Sony Handicam video files into a
computer-editable format? The mini-DVDs save the video as a single file
(Track01.cda). Camera has no fire wire output jack to transfer movie to
computer at high resolution. I've tried several rip programs and Roxio media
creator, but none of them can handle the cda file.

I realize that this post was over 3 years ago and maybe none of you are
around any more.
I understand that you were able to solve the problem with the movie playing
fine and then going black.

I have used Moviemaker before fr short movies. This is my first attempt at a
longer one.
I downloaded the latest version of DirectX. How do convert my Jpeg's to BMP
and where? I know all my files a JPEGs. I have everything loaded on to my
storyline. Do I need to start fresh? I am somewhat techinically challenged on
this so I need "baby steps" and plain English.

I am also getting the error message about source files. I have windows XP,
there is plenty of space on the drive. I have also "x"d out the boxes under
"tools - options".
My story board consists of 100-200 jpeg pictures that I have edited in
"Photoexpressions" with titles and captions. I have transitions on each
frame. Used music from a cd that I have and only have 3 title overlays. The
total length of the movie is a little less that 30 minutes.
So I guess my question is...I'm trying to get out of the error message and I
guess I might need to change my pictures from Jpegs to bitmaps. I don't know
how to do that :( Is this something I can do within movie maker? I don't
want to have to start all over again! This has taken me a month to do 30
min. This is my first time using...

I'm new to MM, but have used Adobe After Effects for a few years, so I
thought that it would be pretty simple to do some basic things with MM.

Using MM Version 2.1.4026.0 on XP Pro. I have some uncompressed AVIs (video
only) that I wanted to convert to WMV, open in MM, overlay titles and export.
These are 10 seconds, 30 Frames Per Second looping AVIs, so getting the right
length in and out is important for the loop. I converted from AVI using
River Past Video Cleaner, Quality Based settings - quality set at 90.

When I opened the 10 second WMV files in MM, overlay titles and save them as
WMV, they export at 9 seconds long. Tried lots of files...
So I tried just saving without titles and got the same result. Now in the MM
preview window before saving, the duration of the WMV I brought in shows 9:93
(not like ANY time code I've ever seen before), but not a second short
either.

I opened the very same original WMV file in After Effects and it is - as
expected 10 sec duration. Open the new saved WMV version (from MM) and it is
9 seconds.

thank u john inzer
very helpful
