• How to capture a video from a home made dvd to use to create a video edited with Windows Movie Maker

  I have a DVD made home to a sporting event that my son has played in. I'm trying to get the DVD video in a file on my PC so that I can use it with Windows Movie Maker. I know how to create and edit a video on movie maker, but I can't seem to figure out how to capture video from this DVD. It is probably a 'rookie' question, but I couldn't find what I needed by using 'help' or 'search', so I hope someone in this forum can tell me how to do this.

  =======================================
  If you're running Vista Home Premium or Ultimate, you can
  be able to import files into Movie Maker directly from the
  DVD... the files you want are in the VIDEO_TS folder and have
  a VOB extension.

  Also... the info is maybe worth a visit:

  DVD Movie Maker 6... in Vista Home Basic
  http://www.Papajohn.org/newsletters/185-DVDtoMM6inVistaHomeBasic.html

  When you insert the DVD in your DVD player... close
  all the windows that can open and then go to... Start /.
  Computer... right click the icon for the DVD player
  is in, and then select Explorer.

  The files you need from the DVD are the. VOB files.
  You will find them in the VIDEO_TS folder. Copy them
  in a folder on your hard drive.

  First... just try to rename one of the. VOB files to
  . MPG or .avi and see if it will matter in Movie Maker.
  If import works... drag the file to the timeline and
  Economy/publication it to .wmv or .avi format. Then...
  Re - import new video film for editing purposes.

  (FWIW... you can probably play the files renamed
  in Windows Media Player to be sure that VOB
  file to edit)

  If you are unable to import the files they need to be converted
  another .wmv format would be a good choice.

• XP Pro and Windows Movie Maker

  I am running XP Pro and have created a slide show in Windows Movie Maker, but cannot burn to a disc.  I get a message to insert a blank disc, which, of course, I already have.  I downloaded Windows DVD maker, but which requires an ISO file to burn and the Movie Maker saves the file under a MSWMM file.  Can someone help me?   Thank you.

  I'm guessing that you want to create a video DVD that
  will play in a free-standing DVD player.

  First you must save your Movie Maker project to
  the. WMV video format (.mswmm is the project
  folder and is only useful for a re-release in Movie Maker).

  To save in a .wmv movie file...
  Type of... CTRL + P (or go to...) File / save movie file)
  to open the wizard movie recording.
  Choose... My computer.
  Next /.
  Enter a name and a location.
  Next /.
  ICT... "Best quality for my computer.
  Next /.
  Wait while the movie is saved.
  Finishing...

  OK... now you have a video clip and you have DVD
  Software to burn a DVD video creation.

• Windows Movie Maker-how do I change the details of the clip

  Windows Movie Maker question

  I created a video clip in Windows Movie Maker, but I need to hide some of the numbers displayed in the clip.  For example, to place a black box on a small part of the clip to hide certain details.  How can I do this?

  If the video has been created from photos yet...
  It would be easier to edit the photos before
  import.

  If your project has been created from video clips...
  The task you describe requires an overlay.

• Cannot publish the Windows Movie Maker project

• Windows Movie Maker... Music skips during transitions and effects. AND create titles outside the Movie Maker program

  I'm working on a presentation in Windows Movie Maker.  Why the music seems to jump whenever I have a 'transition' / 'effect' between clips (for example a fade in).  When I remove the transitions, the sounds of the music very well.  I want the transitions to be included because it adds a little more interest to the presentation.  Also, is there a way to create the title and subtitles in Word and import them into the presentation?  Allowing more flexibility and options with design (integration of treatment of logos/fonts/etc.).
  Thank you!

• I created a movie in movie maker xp - how to access the movie with Windows movie maker 7?

  I want to access the movie file and continue working on it.  Movie Maker (MM) W7 does not open my movie file 1-1/2 years.

  I have a new PC with W7 - I also tried to open MM in virtual XP mode. No luck. There is an MM program in XP mode, but it does not open.  I was charged correctly MM in XP mode from the internet. Loaded, it does not open.

  Is there a way to convert the file MM XP to W7 MM? Much time was spent in a series of films when I was with my old PC with XP and I'm guessing that the XP of MM version now I can't access the files!

  Help!

  No guarantee but something you could try...

  There are two older downloadable versions of Movie Maker
  that will run on Windows 7... Maybe one of them would be open
  your. MSWMM Movie Maker project file. (you do not have XP
  Mode for these)

  And... you must have copies of 'all' (Photos source files,
  Video clips, Audio clips that were in the project). If you are
  success by opening the project file... you will see red Xs.

  Right-click the Xs and navigate to the location where you
  saved the source files to restore the path.

• Make another copy of the DVD from a DVD created from Windows Movie Maker

  My laptop was stolen recently and, with it, a slideshow (with audio) I had created on Windows Movie maker.  I have a disc I created after the completion of the project.  He plays very well on an external DVD drive.  However, when I download it on my new laptop or try to copy it to another disk, it does not copy as a movie.  It seems that it changes the formats and any copy I made will not play on an external DVD drive.  Is there a copyright protection or something embedded on discs created from Movie maker.  Any advice on how to make a playable copy would be appreciated.

  No copy protection is used.

  How are you trying to copy it?

  You will need something like roxio or nero and their software disc in copy, or import the movie in movie maker and then recreate the dvd disc again from scratch in your creation to dvd.

• Windows Movie Maker, create empty audio files from Audio CD through Media Player playback.

  I am trying to integrate audio CD in Windows Movie Maker by using the Microphone of CD Audio in Windows Movie Maker game and reading the CD with Media Player file. The file is created very well with the small notes on the icon, but reading, there is no sound. I went into control panel - household and made sure that all the sound elements was not checked in as volume controls 'mute' and turned everything up to full. Playback of the audio in the player, once I hit 'record' in WMM and the operation starts. I hit stop when the desired recording is over... but the files play 'empty' back in WMM and Media Player. This procedure has worked well for me in the past, so it's very frustrating that it has suddenly stopped working.

• Difference between Windows movie maker vs Windows live movie maker and Windows photo gallery live vs Windows Photo Gallery

  Title: Windows original Photo Gallery and Windows Movie Maker

  Windows Movie Maker and windows photo gallery. picture of Windows live and Windows Live Movie Maker. What is the difference between these programs and who is better and easier to work with?

  The answer is all one could expect from a "Microsoft Support Engineer". "." It is not an answer, it is a lazy response that obscures the issue. Who the * wants to sit here by clicking on the reference links? Try to take the time to answer the question correctly and clearly. The fact is that Windows Movie Maker, despite its flaws, is logical and easy to learn. Windows Live Movie Maker is the product of developers geeks trying to justify their work by producing a piece of absurd confusion that would be considered to be an 'upgrade' because it seems different from its predecessor. The fact is that Windows Movie Maker is MORE like film professional software publisher of Live Movie Maker, which is just no unwanted standard which is more like a project of diploma a graduate programmer. Movie Maker design allowed me to make the easy transition to the most advanced professional software, but this can never be achieved with the Windows Live Movie Maker, which is ridiculously long as stupid as his name.

• How to save a project created in Windows movie maker on a flash drive in. MSWWW format instead of. WMV format?

  If I understand well a previous answer, reinporting a project as mswmm allows rediting if the files are still on the computer.  Also, I am inclined to believe that the files remain available in the pane movie maker collections.  Am I wrong?

  > How to save a project created in Windows movie maker
  > to a flash drive in. MSWWW format instead of. WMV format?
  ===========================================
  When you save the project file... go to... File / save project as...
  Give the file a name (Summer Vacation.mswmm) and choose
  your save location.

  All the files (Photos, video clips, Audio clips) source should
  appear on the USB key and if you have the intention of re - edit the
  project on another computer... it should have the same
  version of Movie Maker. Sometimes a later version of the film
  Machine to will open the files but sometimes won't.
  ===========================================
  > If I understand an earlier answer, reinporting a project
  > mswmm format allows rediting if the files are still on the
  > computer.
  ===========================================
  This is correct. MSWMM is a Movie Maker project file which is
  is useful for a re-release in Movie Maker. And... the source files
  (Photos, video clips, Audio clips) should be available in the
  original locations...
  ===========================================
  > Also, I am inclined to believe that the files remain available in the
  > movie maker collections pane.  Am I wrong?
  ===========================================
  When a. MSWMM file project opens the thumbnails...
  remain available in the Collections of Movie Maker component as
  as long as the Source, the files are available in the places that they
  were imported initially from.

  If the source files have been moved, renamed, deleted or are
  unavailable, the thumbnails in the component Collections
  Movie Maker displays red Xs and the project cannot be
  edited.

  If the source files are still available... it is possible that you may
  Right-click the red Xs and navigate to the current location of the
  the source files and restore the path.
