Black screen in movies published using Windows Movie Maker

I used Movie Maker successfully in the past, but when I try to publish my last movie, the screen goes black in half way through the final film. The audio is not yet, but there is no video.

I don't think it's a codec issue, I've created many other movies that play with success and I didn't do anything differently this time. Source clips are in .avi format - as they have always been in the past.

I've seen many other people reporting this problem on various forums, but no one has offered a viable solution. One person mentioned with audio mute on the clips, but none of my videos have their audio muted.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the suggestion, but as I said, I did this several times without any problems before using exactly this type of file format, so I don't think it's a compatibility issue. And the film works very well for the first half, using clips with the same format from the same source, then why don't the compatibility cut to half way through?

My guess is that it has something to do with the number of clips in the movie - Movie Maker is just panicking because there are too many things to deal with. I've got round in cutting the film into two halves, publishing the two halves, in re-importing them in Movie Maker, and then stirching support them all. This is not the solution the more satsifactory, but at least it works.

  • I just got a black screen with "this copy of Windows is not genuine".

    Original title: OS not real question?

    Well, I bought a computer off Craig's list this week. Yes, I know this isn't the safest place to get a computer, but what's done is done. The current operating system of the computer is Win7. However I just got the black screen with "this copy of Windows is not genuine". I looked at the back of the computer and saw that he has a real sticker Win XP Pro. So is there anyway I can just download XP Pro on this computer and be good from there?

    Thank you

    Check with the manufacture of the computer to see if you have a "recovery partition" and how to use it to restore XP or if they still have the support of Windows XP available with they can send you to usually a small fee.

  • Get a black screen during the Installation of Windows 8

    Original title: BLACK SCREEN

    OK, I tried 5 times to install windows 8 by using the downloaded Update widows Pro

    I've updated the BIOS and other drivers and the only issue is to use the upgrade wizard is UEFI is not compatiable that shouldn't be a problem anyway
    So here's the BLACK SCREEN problem, I get all along to install past loan, after adjustment of the apparatus, after preparation, all the way to the end and then it gives just black screen until I power it turns off or reset and says windows 8 could not restore windows I get no error code or any hint of why there not everyone had an idea Yes stay with windows 7 is an excellent option, but I would try and brand and make informed decisions.
    I have internet search and it seems to be a common problem for many different reasons - ideas - Ive tried more things ive read without success. Help please

    Hello Kiwivic,

    Thank you for the question!

    I'm sorry to know that have problems you with the Installation of Windows 8. As I understand it, you get a black screen during the Installation of Windows 8.

    I need to ask you some questions to help you best.

    1. What is the brand and model of the computer?

    2 are the external devices connected to the computer?

    Method 1: disconnect any external devices (except keyboard and mouse) and then install Windows 8 and check.

    Method 2: Select the edge device devices in device/integrated graphic of BIOS (Basic Input output device) and check.

    Warning: Be careful when you change the BIOS settings. The BIOS interface is designed for advanced users, and it is possible to change a setting that can prevent your computer from starting properly. BIOS update should be made only if necessary (to solve a compatibility problem, for example). It can be a complicated process, and if an error occurs, your computer could be rendered inoperative. Be sure to observe the instructions of the manufacturer.

  • When I use Windows Maovie Maker, the program keeps freezing upwards and says that it does not.

    When I use Windows Maovie Maker, the program keeps freezing upwards and says that it does not. I close and try again, but get the same question. in the past, I used this program very well without any problem. Now I do one or two things in the tyring program to create a video and it freezes. Any suggestions how I can fix this problem?

    The three main causes of problems of Movie Maker are:

    (1) incompatible or damaged source files.
    (Photos / videos / Audio clips)

    Several formats are apparently compatible with
    Movie Maker, but the most reliable choices are:

    Photos - bmp
    Video - wmv or dv - avi
    Audio - wav, wma, wmv

    (2) problems with video filters

    Open Movie Maker and go... Tools / Options /.
    Compatibility tab and disable all filters / OK.

    If this does not help, try going back to the same
    location and on the left, click on the 'all the default settings.

  • Burned using Windows DVD maker photos are blurred when read

    Pictures inserted in creation of DVD of Windows7 and burned to a DVD disc are dimmed when read on television via a DVD or Power DVD on the PC drive (origonal photos are sharp)

    No problem with ULEAD DVD Movie Factory

    Hi Barry Robbo.

    1 when was the last time you were able to play a DVD burned successfully?

    2. did you of recent changes on the computer?

    3. What is the file format of the burned photos?

    4. which Windows Player do you use to play the burned photos?

    A DVD may not play properly in some DVD players or DVD - ROM readers to one of the following reasons:

    • The type of drive may not be compatible. Some DVD players or DVD - ROM drives can play some types of DVD. For example, some DVD players only play discs DVD + R or DVD + RW, while others play only DVD-R or DVD - RW discs.
    • The quality of the disc may be too low. Some DVD players or DVD - ROM drives will not play DVD if the disc is not in good condition or if it isn't a high quality disc. If your Player cannot play a DVD, you can try to burn again using a higher quality DVD.
    • DVD decoding software can not be installed on the computer. If you try to play the DVD in the DVD drive on another computer, the DVD will not play if DVD decoding software is not installed on this computer.

    To determine what types of DVDs your DVD player or DVD - ROM drive can play, see the documentation that came with your device or go to the manufacturer's Web site.

  • Burned DVD using Windows DVD Maker times only once on my Blu - ray player

    Original title: burned dvd

    When I do a cd burned with my windows dvd maker, dvd will play only once on my blu - ray player separated from the TV.  It works fine the first time, but the Player cannot find the disc any time after that.  I use dvd + r discs.  Is there a formatting problem, or do I need to get the dvd + rw discs.  I'm really at a loss.  Thanks for your help guys!

    Hi frapachino21,

    -The problem occurs with all CD/DVD you burn using Windows DVD Maker?

    -After playback of the disc on the Blu - ray drive, the drive is not detected on your desktop/computer laptop with no problems?

    To use certain kinds of CD or DVD discs outside of your computer, you must close the session, which is a process that prepares the disc to be read by other computers and players.

    You can try to close or finalize the CD/DVD and check if it makes a difference.

  • Crash black screen on DirectX games in Windows 7

    First of all, if you take the time to read this... Thank you in advance. I realize it's not easy. If its in the wrong place please move, but I don't know what is causing the problem...

    I'm fighting a recurring problem on the PC of my son for some time. I'm quite known in customized versions and have never had a problem persisting who me before perplexed.

    There used to be an old Intel Q9650 system based on an ASUS P5B Deluxe/WiFi-AP mobo. 8 GB ram Corsair XM3, OC secondary disk of 60 GB SSD and seagate 500 GB, card Nvidia, Silent-Pro 550w PSU 295GTX.

    The system would, on some games and after certain periods of time to a black screen crash, sometimes with a sound loop. All temperatures were within normal limits as the Arctic Pro CPU cooler and other fans were good Setup. The PSU has been good and tested in other platforms and toggled to eliminate information. The worst games were Napoleon Total War and Balanced Annihilation running on the engine of spring... this one is interesting because it's a mouse on the plan of the GPU/CPU power it takes. A true end bottom of the game.

    Pilots were all to date and tested OK memory with memtest. I ran several programs benchtest to push/stresstest the CPU and GPU and they crashed at all.

    Tried to exchange the components of my PC as memory, graphics card, PSU, and the problem still persisted.

    Finally, I said enoughs enough, and we bought him new components.

    We currently have the following

    Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit (6.1, Build 7600)
    Card mother Gigabyte GA-H67A-UD3H
    Intel Core i5-3450 CPU @ 3.10 GHz (4 CPUs), ~3.4GHz
    8192 MB Corsair RAM XM3
    OCZ 60 GB SATA-2 HARD drive
    NVIDIA 570GTX
    Silent POWER Pro 750W PSU

    The only bits I brough of the old system are the memory (tested and OK), SSD and it connects to the TV/monitor even.

    And of course the problem persists. The black screens after 2-3 minutes on all directX games, more L4D2. System has all the latest drivers.

    Now here's the interesting bit of, I found a game that is completely unaffected by the issue, Unreal 2004... .it is pure coincidence but this game has no problem at all... works very well never fails, all set to full... coincidence? I do not. Isn't this game in OpenGL? I'm sure that his few misenoma DirectX?

    I have tried everything I can think about, all the same tests were executed and Im totally stumped. I don't see the point in sending to a store to get some bull * so here I turn to the community for help... then... Help!

    Any necessary additional information I can post. Please let me know if you have people from the idea and thank you.

    Try installing the latest nvidia drivers. During installation, you are given the opportunity to do a clean install when it first deletes all traces of previous drivers or programs related to nvidia.

    When you perform the installation, just install video drivers, sound and physx and return to view the results.

    You talked about the tv/monitor, which is it, a TV or monitor? If it comes to a TV, it could be a problem of refresh rate?

    You say you traded to memory, but how did you manage to get DDR2 memory from your old computer to a new motherboard that uses DDR3?

  • Black screen with cursor when connecting Windows 7. Reinstall the drivers doesn't help not.

    I have a Windows 7 Pro machine that boots to a black screen with a cursor instead of the login prompt, but if I press some keys like enter and tab that I will get a few blue squares where probably windows are appearing.

    I can boot into safe mode and log in. I can then disable or uninstall the video card and the boot into normal windows. But if I install the Intel to the HD3000 integrated video drivers, the black screen will be there waiting for me when I reboot.

    I tried with and without external monitors connected.

    I tried to uninstall the drivers in the menu programs and features (also selection to completely remove the drivers), and I uninstalled them through Device Manager. I then reboot before installing the Intel drivers again. I tried the version on the site Web of Panasonic, as well as the latest version of the Intel Web site. Results have been the same every time.

    Are there left behind somewhere that I could try to remove registry keys? Perhaps a more thorough removal method? Something more creative? All ideas welcome!

    This system has been restored to a standard corporate image, unfortunately is no longer near factory that she'll get. System Restore will not be an option because he has never been in a working state. Startup Repair was not an option due to disk full corporate encryption that seems to make the unreadable disk at this time here. I tried but it fails and I can't find the drivers to be used in the environment of recovery for this BeCrypt Disk Encryption.

    Hi Brian,.

    According to the information that you, as you can start your computer in safe mode without problem, then the problem is probably with the supplied driver. Since the installation of the driver is causing the problem to occur, one possible cause is a driver you want to install is not compatible with the system. We suggest that you contact the manufacturer of your computer for help on installing the correct driver for your PC.

    Kind regards.
