Need help with Windows Live Movie Maker and DVD Maker

I have worked with Windows Live Movie Maker to cut a continuous piece of video footage into separate clips (these are dance performances by dancers of different about 13)... then once they were divided into 13 clips separated, I then cut them at the beginning and at the end of each clip (performance) and then used legends at the beginning of each clip with name of the dancer.  I also added a title at the beginning of the film page, and I added at the end of the credits.  Then I clicked on save the movie and had to wait an hour or more... Finally, when this was done, I opened Windows DVD Maker and clicked on add items... went to my file and put my film recorded in the creation of DVD.  I used also changed the Menu template to that for shows (it is red and black and has lights and cameras as a staging.  I thought everything was going along fine until I played the disc engraved on my Smart TV DVD player.  For some reason when I click on the stages (or chapters) to see the performance under this button, it starts to play the dvd in a few seconds or a few minutes in some cases in the performance... I've lost countless blank DVDs not to mention hours and hours of time... and I'm so frustrated... I'm ready to SCREEEAAMMM!  Also some of the performances were not even under one of the buttons or frames... in other words you could not use the arrow keys to locate some of them to click it and find out.  Yet, when I went back and pressed the 'Play' button, I could fast forward through the entire movie and find performances that seem to be missing the scenes/buttons.  Any help or advice before I blow a bridge! ???

Thank you.

===============================================
First of all a question... did you you save the project in a video such as format
. WMV or. MP4? Or have you just of WLMP project folder?

I suspect that DVD Maker is to see your movie in one file
and he has no idea where are your scenes. More than likely it is
creation of scenes on his own in arbitrary places.

In order for DVD Maker correctly, identify individual scenes
each stage must be registered as an individual video clip, then
the collection of video clips can be imported and each of them must
become an individual scene.  DVD Maker is supposed to accept
up to 18 scenes.

Just an experience you can import your new original
video clips in DVD Maker and see if it works properly. If
It does what you want... change and re-record your clips one video
both will be the fix.

Good luck...

    How to stop Windows Live to import stuff on my camera card in this format and do it in the format of 'just '?

    =========================================
    I was wondering what version of Windows are you using? XP, Vista, 7

    Sorry... but with the .mov files, the conversion is the only solution.

    Here is a way to convert online so that you won't have to
    Download and install a software:

    Try the following free online Converter:

    Media-Convert
    http://media-convert.com/

    Apple Quicktime conversion instructions

    (1) in the field "File"... click on "Browse".
    button and navigate to the .mov file you
    you want to convert. When you select the
    file... the path will appear in the field "File".

    (2) the "Input format" field should automatically
    show... Let it 'Apple Quicktime (.mov)'
    as it is...

    (3) "output size" has two windows...
    does not display the field on the left, "no video".
    PRESET"... leave it as what...

    (4) in the next to move to the right window
    You can choose the format you want
    convert... try:

    Windows Media Video (.wmv)

    (5) on the left, click on the blue * OK button.
    (sometimes the site is busy... If the conversion fails... try again)

    Now... wait as the file to be converted.
    (be patient)

    Once the conversion is completed, you will see:
             
    File converted successfully!

    Your file will appear right of a little green
    ... left click on the file name... save it as
    ... appears on the left, click on the "Save" button.
    Choose a folder to save in (I always download)
    on my desk)... on the left, click on the "Save" button.

    When the file is downloaded, you should be able
    to play with Windows Media Player and it should
    be compatible with Movie maker.

    That's all! Good luck.

    More info...

  • Need help with Windows Live Mail password

    Microsoft support told me that the only way to get help with my last password is by e-mail or forums and I recorded many positions and got no response.  I gave them all of my personal info to my email account and no response. I called in and no response.  Should I give up on this account?  I got it for more than three years and many court and legal emails were sent there I need.  Please notify.

    I guess that you have a Live account Windows that you do not manage to connect to for various reasons.  Can clarify you what the case, and you can specify that you forgot your password or your user name?

    If you talk about this type of Forums (below) then they are very busy, but eventually you should get a response from Microsoft.  If the problem is that I'm guessing that this is so only Microsoft can fix the problem for you, posters not Microsoft, as we find in this Forum won't be able to do much for you other than to advice on a course of action to follow.

    If I remember the way Microsoft handle such problems with the "lockout", it's that they contact you by E-mail (an address that you can still access) and either reset your password or clear the problem after having proved to their satisfaction that you are the owner of the blocked account.  The process is a lot easier if you have (in the setup) provided them with another email address, or installed (and remember) secret an answer to the Question.

    Unfortunately, the whole process may fail and you may forever lose this account.  If that were the case, you should start now to try to get duplicates of important emails from the original sender.

  • Hi, I'm trying to use Windows Live Movie Maker to create a movie. The film is in MP4 format and the program does not allow me to open to make a new film. Windows Media Player does not play either.

    You have problems with programs:
    -Windows Live Movie Maker
    -Windows Media Player

    Error messages:

    Recent changes to your problem:

    What have you tried to solve the problem:
    Reinstall Windows Live Movie Maker

    Format of the file:
    MP4

    You have problems with programs:
    -Windows Live Movie Maker
    -Windows Media Player

    Error messages:
    -Windows Live Movie Maker: Sorry Movie Maker cannot open this project file. The file is not compatible with Windows Live Movie Maker or damaged. Please select a different project file. (button: "Learn more".)

    What have you tried to solve the problem:
    Reinstall Windows Live Movie Maker

    Format of the file:
    MP4

    =============================================
    The dialog box that you quoted says "Project file" in Windows Live Movie Maker
    It would be a file with an extension WLMP. Or if the file was created with
    an earlier version of Movie Maker, it can have an extension .mswmm.

    So... just to clarify... MP4 extension or WLMP or something else?

    If the files are MP4, you will need to convert them to WMV format before
    import into Movie Maker.

    There are many programs that can do conversions...
    The following freeware is an example...:

    (FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
    Restore point before installing software or updates)

    Format Factory
    http://www.pcfreetime.com/
    (the file you want to download is: > FFSetup250.zip
    (FWIW... installation..., you might want to
    Uncheck all of the boxes on the last screen)

    First... after the download and installation of Format
    Factory... you can open the program and
    left click on the toolbar, the "Option" button and
    "Select an output folder to" / apply / OK.
    (this is where you find your files after they)
    are converted)

    Drag and drop your video clips on the main screen...

    Select "all to WMV" / OK...

    Click on... Beginning... in the toolbar...

    That should do it...

    For information on playback of MP4 files... the following article may be worth a visit:

    Multimedia Windows Media Player (316992)
    file formats
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/316992/en-us
    > scroll waaay to MPEG-4 (.mp4)

    Alternative media players:

    FWIW... it is always preferable, if you create a system restore
