Sound disappears in Timeline for some clips.. help!

[Guest]

I'm running MM2 on WinXP Home on a Dell Inspiron 600m (1.7 P4-M, 35 GB free space)

I can capture video perfectly and I've spliced the clips to exactly how I want them. I've put everything in the timeline. BUT when I try playing it on the timeline, many of the clips have either no sound at all or un-synchronized sound.

I checked the audio component on the Timeline, but it looks fine. Nothing's muted, everything *looks* synched, and the individual clips play perfectly from the Collection folders. It's just once it's in the timeline or storyboard!

This happens even with just three short 10-second clips. Can anyone help? I have a project due tomorrow!

Hello there,

I am not very confident as to whether this is the solution to your problem,
but just in case, this could be a codec issue caused by a small number of
codecs that Movie Maker does not like. To eliminate thos possibility you
should download the program called "Rename Codecs" from my website and also
check out how to use it (FAQ section on website)
