Hi Cari, and everyone else who can help,



My laptop is Toshiba Satellite P35-S611 with 512MB RAM.

My digital camcorder is Canon ZR200.

Both are connected through ieee1394 port.



Problem:

Both video and audio are distorted badly when I transfer movie file from the laptop to the camcorder using Windows Movie Maker.

It seems that, the transferring rate from the laptop to the camcorder, is much slower than the rotation of the tape in the camcorder, because the video gets stretched almost twice as long after being transferred onto the tape! (5-min movie/video on the laptop will end up 10-min long on the tape.)



Please help me to troubleshoot this!



Your fan!
 
Please only create 1 thread on this as it just causes confusion - I have removed your other posts.

Why are you transfering from the laptop back onto the camcorder? (I'm not sure on the problem, but may be able to advise another method).

If you are using Firewire to connect them, it must be a compression problem I guess (perhaps you encoded the video with low quality?).
 
thanks for your reply.

Because the DVD I burned straight from my laptop is not good and this is the only way I can get the best video and audio quality when I burn it to a DVD using my standalone DVD recorder. I just want to use WMM for editing.

Do you think "compression problem" would cause the "stretch"?
 
i think it may be to do with the frame rates being different, i dont know what your camera will be on or how to change it but changing the setting in movie maker is easy enough

on the top toolbar select Tools > Options > then click the advanced tab and you'll see an option for how the video is captured change it to the one not selected and try again

also you cant burn a DVD from movie maker so i assume you're another program ?
 
Thanks for your reply Me-2001

I sure will check the setting in WMM when my laptop gets out of the shop…I took it for repair because I really thought it was a hardware failure since I didn’t have this problem before. There were some sporadic audio popping sound before, but nothing was this BAD! I don’t think I have changed the frame rates though, but I will double check.

I used WinDVD and Ulead to burn DVD’s and the picture came out always blurry, not as good as the original tape at all.

Thanks again!
