exporting movie back to DV camera

[steph]

i can save the movie to my computer -- not a problem, yet
when i want to save the movie back to my camera nothing
happens. i click on "next" and nothing. nothing freezes,
it's as if that function is turned off, or something.
this is the same camera that i capture video from without
a problem.
help? please.
thanks,
stephanie

Try saving it to your hard drive as a DV-AVI file, and then using the DVIO
utility to copy it from your hard drive to the camcorder. That will help you
determine if you have a problem and where it lies.

There's a link to the utility on the Camcorders... General page of
www.papajohn.org

When MM2 exports a movie to a camcorder, it first makes a temporary DV-AVI
file, and then copies it to the camcorder. While it's making the temporary
file, you might think things are frozen. You would need to check your CPU
activity to see what's happening.

Hi,

I thought I had the same problem. All I did stupidly, is
wait when I okay-clicked the 'copy to dv-camcorder'
wizzard. (Later copied it from my DV-cam to the DVD-
recorder via a simple DV-to-DV cable. This shure saved me
a lot of PC/DVD-to-plus-DVD or minus-DVD blabla
frustrations.)
It took ages before I saw a small blue progress line
apear. (Tip to Microsoft: can you put in somekind
of marker notifying the user that the WMM **** is still in
operation/running?) Atleast 5mins I didn't see anything
happening. Ohh, before I forget. Put the settings in the
best possible features, drop the DV-AVI use. WMM is
somehow confused (John?) what to use The old AVI2 or the
new AVI1 format(when is WMM3 coming?)

Well, all I'm still stuck with is the fact that WMM has a
nagging problem of stalling suddenly so the use of
CNTRL/ALT/DEL is the only option to use loosing valuable
hours of work (AAAAAARGHHHHH!!!!!) :^((( PLEASE! how can
I solve that?

byebye,

Jan
