Something's still wrong

project as the original seems to be limited to near 50 MB. The program works
fine for about 9 to 11 minutes and then the music continues, but the slides
discontinue to flow (either it freezes on the last slide or it goes black) I
have tried several attempts since the original and all have the same symptoms
and all fall in the range of 48 MB to 51.5 MB I have tried other output
formats too, NTSC for example, all high quality, but the same results. >
(Microsoft) We've seen other reports of this behaviour especially on
timelines with a lot of transitions. The good news is that we made a fix in
Windows Movie Maker 2.1 within Windows XP SP2 so this problem is far more
unlikely to occur. If you don't want to install SP2 yet you can also try the
following workaround. Sometimes just trying to save your movie again will
work, as it doesn't always repro 100% of the time. If in your case it is
consistenly failing then the other suggestion I have is to save your movie as
a DV-AVI file first. To do this, when you're on the Movie Settings page
choose "Other Settings" and select DV-AVI from the list (if Other Settings
isn't visible then click "Show more choices..."). Play back the resultant
DV-AVI file to make sure that it's OK. If you ultimately want a DVD, you
should be able to import that DV-AVI file into Sonic MyDVD. If you want to
save it as a WMV file to save disk space you can also import the DV-AVI file
back into MovieMaker, drag it down to the timeline then publish it again as a
WMV file with your choice of profile."
This was my problem whilst trying to create my video. I did not want to
update to SP2 so i went with the workaround and saved it as a DV-AVI file.
Although this helps for me visual factor of my video, the audio quality is
quite lacking. I have browsed around and cant seem to find anything on
papajohn's site, unless i'm looking in the wrong places. Is there a way at
all of fixing this audio hiccup? It sounds high pitched, but then im not
sure. Lets just say that it doesnt sound like how it sounded BEFORE i saved
it as a DV-AVI file.
Thanks.
