Re: WMM2 on Vista


That's about what I thought. What specific codecs do they use?

You could go from AVI-random-codec to DV-AVI to WMV - does that work?

My suspicion is that Movie Maker is getting garbage data from your random
third party codec...

The files are AVI that I got from Limewire. At first it wouldn't play
altogether in ether WMM2 or WMP but the audio would until I got codecs to
fix
that. Common problem fixed, hooray me for getting that right, at least.
=P

When the movies I make are saved they are saved as WMV. The major problem
is
somewhere between WMM2 and WMP or how the file's saved. Update on the
issue
is that when I save the video to "DV-AVI (NTSC)" it plays fine with no
green
bar. For all the other settings that can be used when publishing the green
bar does appear. I rejoiced until I found that DV-AVI takes up an immense
amount of space (one 4-minute music video is about 917 MB, while the next
highest setting below that takes up only 180 MB). So as of yet I'm fresh
out
of ideas.

So I got a new laptop with Vista and went on to use WMM2. I finished the
video, but whenever I play it the bottom half of the screen is green and
the
rest of the video is essentially stuffed into the top half, leaving it at
the
proper width, but shortening it to half the proper height. When I play
the
video on MovieMaker it plays fine, but it's when it gets saved and when I
play it on Window Media Player that it gets messed up, which then carries
over to the uploads. For further reference, please see:

I'm not the most computer-savvy person out there, but I've been baffled
by
this for over a day now. I'm at a loss for things to try. I've tried
downloading codecs, I got the DivX then XVid out of frustration. Never
had
this problem with XP on my old computer o.O
