Hello there,
I am quite new to this program but Windows Movie Maker 2.0 seems
better than anything I can buy in the stores.
I made a movie yesterday of my son's 1st birthday party. It was 30
minutes long and had only 2 or three transistions and two beginning
titles and one ending credits. The two transistion used some cute
swipes special effects. It worked great!!! I was even able to record
it back out to my sony DCR-TRV230 recorder. From there to VHS tape.
It was very slow at allowcating disk space and preparing before
actually recording, but it did work very nicely.
Than worked so well that I thought I would do this to all our tape
collection. Well my second project, XMAS 2001, has many more
transitions because the camera was paused or turned off many times.
It plays good on-screen and is only 18 minutes long. When I go to
output it to DV, WM2 states "Please wait while disk space is
allocated...". It never goes past that point. I let it run all last
night. It doesn't lock up, it just never allocates the disk space.
My computer is a P4/2.4GHZ with 256Megs of RAM and a 40 GIG drive and
a 60 gig drive. The 60 gig is only for the video processing; nothing
else. It is HPFS(? - not FAT32) file system. I have virtual memory
paging set from 800megs - 12--megs on C drive. If I save the movie to
hard disk in High Video Quality (Large), per Microsoft's Knowledgebase
artical 814836, the file is 361,174KB in size.
I am thinking that since I only have 256megs of ram this is the
problem. I might be running over to best buy in State College in the
next hour to purchase a 512meg PC2700 memory strip. If this doesn't
work, does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks kindly,
Dave
