Windows movie maker problems

Windows Movie Maker in Windows 7 will only capture videos from my mini DV camera with a firewire cable. My HP p6674y PC lacks a firewire connection. What can I do to work around this problem? I would be grateful all the solutions.

===========================================
Might be interesting to try to install a firewire card:

See some examples on the following link:

And... Although the video resolution may undergo... a
device as in the following example can be worth a try:

Card USB 2.0 Audio/Video Capture
DVD Maker adapter - USB 2.0, MPEG
Encode, Plug-and-Play, Vista Ready

can be downloaded from the manufacturer

Good luck...

  • Sync audio/video Windows Movie Maker problem

    When you use Windows Movie Maker 5.1 to capture video from my Panasonic PV-GS39 DV camera, audio is 15 seconds ahead of the video.  Anyone know what is the cause or how to fix it?  No other programs are running at the time of the capture.

    Windows XP Service Pack 3

    It is difficult to say why Windows Movie Maker would be to have this problem, but my recommendation would be to eliminate it from the video capture process. There is an excellent free program called WinDV you can use to capture video on your computer, then you can change using Windows Movie Maker, once the capture is complete. Video capture questions can be exasperating. Along with other instructions of troubleshooting, I explain why you might want to use WinDV in a tutorial on video troubleshooting.

  • Windows movie maker problem: video cut or turns off

    I have windows vista on my computer and I tried to use the windows movie maker program to make a music video.  the video I got was originally in MP4 format so I used Format Factory to convert WMV (I also did AVI).  for some reason when I'm working on the video images goes off and I can't see the stage.  Sometimes I get the picture but most of the time I don't have.  I also tried to use AVI format but the problem is always the same.

    I read and I think it would be that the resolution could be the problem, if so, how can I change that on Format Factory?
    It could also be that Format Factory is perhaps not good enough, are there other free conversion programs I could use?
    other than that, I don't know why the image freezes (music plays again)
    any kind of help will be greatly appreciated!

    Format Factory is a good converter but I also
    find FreeMake Video Converter to be useful:

    ==================================
    Just a few thoughts...

    More than likely it has a compatibility issue
    with the Audio file (music). Conversion to the
    Format WMA before you import into Movie Maker
    may be worth a try:

    There are to many converters available on the net...
    Some are free - some details... the following freeware
    is but one example. :

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

    Freemake - Free Audio Converter
    http://www.Freemake.com/free_audio_converter/
    (Windows XP / Vista / 7 / 8)
    (* Read * all * the installation screens... it)
    may be a few items you want to unmark *)

    When you have installed Freemake... Open Freemake
    and drag and drop your music files on the main screen.

    Or... Click left on the Audio button, then navigate to the
    your audio files are saved in the folder.

    Select (highlight) the files you want to import into
    Freemake and left, click on the button 'open '.

    When your music files are imported into Freemake,
    On the left, click on the WMA icon at the bottom of the screen.

    The "Output settings" screen opens.  Choose
    ' Save in ' file so you can find the converted files.

    On the left, click the "Convert" button and the files must be
    converted very quickly.

    It is also possible that the project is too large or
    complex.

    The fix for this would be to create several small
    projects and save each of them in the movie WMV
    format in a folder on your hard drive.

    The collected WMV files can then be re-imported
    in Movie Maker to bring together in a single
    film or they can be imported into DVD Maker
    and each comes a scene on a DVD.

  • video on windows movie maker problems

    I imported a music performance video compatible h264 Windows Windows Moviemaker to edit it (in a smaller video, using only a part of the longest video).  Then I edited, using the "set point of arrival" features and "set starting point.  It is then saved in a work file (wlmp), which is specific to Windows Moviemaker.  However, when I tried to "Make movie" out of it, and it is converted (I believe in mp4), for some unknown reason while the video part is missing and only now contains audio.  Do you know if I do something wrong?  This clip is long about 4.5 minutes and a live performance.  It takes about 5 minutes to convert wlmp to mp4 file, but again, it lack the video portion.  Any ideas out there?

    Something to try that can produce a better result.

    Rather than use the features 'set point of arrival' and 'set starting point... "
    Try splitting the video on the points where you want to begin and end
    and then delete the unwanted parts.

  • Video length Windows Movie Maker problem automatic song

    I use Director windows on windows vista to make a music video formed by several clips and a track of the song.  the track of the song is 4 minutes long, and all the clips together make about 4 min and 30 sec.  I am trying to use the automatic video tool that makes a music video, but for some reason he cut the song in two, so it takes about 2 minutes

    is there anyway I can change this?  I want it to last the length of original music track.  and Yes, the song is in the wma format.

    I use the automatic video because it makes the best selection of clips for the different rhythms of the song I could never do

    Results will vary with the content of clips and the style of the auto-film. I don't have a Vista system but has quickly checked with Vista MM2.6 running on Windows 7. You don't say if you use MM6 or MM2.6 in Vista... maybe the results are the same for each.

    With a music file of 11 minutes and a lot of video clips and still the auto-film for all styles except the music resulted in a project a little more than 3 minutes. The same content with the style of music video was 1 minutes, 11 seconds.
    I added much more video clips and checked a few styles... the auto-film a 4 min 26 sec for the style Flip and slide and 2 min 25 sec for the music.
  • Windows Movie Maker problem Frame

    Is there a way to remove the skin black in the image when the image is not completely fill the frame?
    Maybe even a white background would be better... but I can't seem to find options to change that.

    You talk about photos in Portrait orientation...
    or... photos orientation 4:3 landscape used in 16:9
    project with black bars on each side?

    Anyway... cropping the photos to the mandatory aspect
    report before importing would eliminate the problem.

    FWIW... If your project includes only the Photos and music...
    free photo story 3 is maybe a better application... and it
    includes a cropping tool to remove the black bars.
