Re: StudioMovieBox



Myth Busters proved that old cooking oil will run a diesel engine perfectly.
That help? :)

ok-I didn't realize that all mpegs were not created equal so your analogy
makes sense. Thank you. As far as gasoline goes, can you find something
else
for us to use instead? :)

It's like saying my friends diesel car takes diesel, why won't my petrol
car
work with diesel.

If you have a usb2 ext drive this is not designed to work continually at
high data transfer speeds. It is better to use a firewire drive to
capture
externally. Otherwise capture to your internal drive adn then allow it
to
transfer to your ext drive at it's own pace for editing.
USB2 has a burst speed rating of 480Mbps, whereas firewire can sustain
400Mbps

It does work with changing to DV-AVI. However, I had to use my hard
drive
on
my computer to receive it. When I used my external drive, a lot of
frames
were dropped making it hesitate when played.

As I wrote previously, I still don't understand why MovieMaker will not
accept the Mpeg files created by Pinnacle's Studio MovieBox.Thanks
again.

Yes the information about Movie Maker says it accepts MPEG files and
as
far
as MPEG Type 1 files go sometimes it does. But more often than not
MPEG
files end up causing various problems at different times during the
process
so it isn't a good idea to work with them unless you have a lot of
aspirin
and/or like headaches.

MPEG Type 2 files will not work at all with Movie Maker.

Yes, I can capture as DV.AVI. It does come with Pinnacle but I don't
have
the
time or energy right now to learn a different video program.

I am confused when you say that MovieMaker will not work with mpeg.
Mpeg
is
supposed to be one of the formats that it will accept.

Anyway, thank you for the information. I will try that and maybe
that
will
also improve the quality of the video produced.

Movie maker will not work with mpeg 99.9% of the time.
Did moviebox not come with pinnacle studio? If it did this will
edit
your
mpeg file.

If not you have a few options.
Buy an mpeg editing programme such as pinnacle/Ulead
videostdio/adobe
premeire elements. Then capture as mpeg and edit.

Convert the mpeg2 to a wmv file and use this in movie maker.

Buy a decent analogue capture device such as the advc range from
canopus
or
miglia direcotrs cut. These connect via firewire and you capture as
a
dv-avi
file using MM.

I bought SMB 10 b/c I thought it would reduce the steps for analog
capture(dvd/vcr player to make a DVD and then conversion program
for
use
in
MovieMaker). However, when I captured a small test piece of video
in
mpeg,
the video was jumping. I figured since it was captured in mpeg, I
could
then
just import it into MM. When I tried to import it into a
collection,
the
green bar quickly moved across on top but nothing on the bottom
bar.
The
hourglass just kept whirling till I CtrlAltDeleted it about 10
minutes
later.
)Window Media Player does play it, however.) I was told at Best
Buy
that
this
program was similar to Dazzle but could also output.

Pinnacle support said that once I made it into a movie .avi I
could
import
it into MM but from reading other postings on the topic it looks
like
this
would also need to be converted to a different type of avi file.

CAN I GET ANALOG INTO MM BY USING STUDIO MOVIE BOX? PLEASE HELP-I
NEED
TO
MAKE A MEMORIAL VIDEO IN TWO WEEKS. THANKS
