What does this error message usually mean went wrong? "Your movie was not
recorded succesfully to the tape of your DV camera." The message occurred
shortly after the initial rendering statement "Please wait while disk space
is allocated. Usually at this point the movie just starts rendering. Thanks
for any help.
 
It needs to render a temporary DV-AVI file on your hard drive, and then copy
it to the camcorder... is there enough free hard drive space on the drive
your temporary files option is pointing to?

PapaJohn,
The temporary file is D:\WUtemp\. The D drive has 58 GB free. The movie
requires 204MB on C:\documents and Settings\Tmp\My
Documents\My...\Untitled.MSWMM. The C drive has GB free. I have
successfully rendered this movie to "My Computer" hard drive. But am unable
to render to my Sony mini DV cameria. I have successfully rendered to this
cameria before and can still do so to other movies but not this one. Any
ideas?
Thanks, Randy
 
Hello Randy,
Did you solved your problem? If no, can you come up to answer some questions?
Or tell us again how you connect your DV camera --- especially, did you switch -off the power because you thought this will burn
the camera while not recording and switch-on just begin recording?

How long this movie?

RINO,
Thanks for asking. I still have the same problem. I think the problem
started because the camcorder battery ran out 11 minutes before the end of my
23 min movie. The computer kept on rendering and utlimatrly it said 100% ,
but the time remaining still said 11 min. (Now I know to hook the camera to
the charger)Papajohn thought that possibely the temp file had not deleated
itself and I should go and deleat any thing I find. The default temp file was
C:\Documents and Settings\Tmp\Local Settings\Temp\ and had tons of file
extensions in it. Tonight I will remove all of the .tmp, .xml., .txt, .log.,
TIF., & .htm files and try again.( I will leave the.rra, .DIR, .DLL, .hpi,
..ini, .shd, .mtx, and many others.) Last night I changed the temp file to
D:\WUTemp\ and tried to render, but the same thing happenned. After searching
for disk space the message came, " Your movie was not recorded succesfully to
the tape of your DV camera." Thanks for the help you all give.

Hello Randy,
Thank you for telling us again. Bingo! That's is the common mistake for "Your movie was not recorded successfully to the tape of
your DV camera." Your MM2 is very intelligent --- it could detect and tell you to load a DV tape in your camera. One time while
rendering a complex movie it took over 13 hours long and I decided to switch-off the Power to DV camera because it is not using
the power to record into tape at this early stage and I know I must reconnect its power as early or before the 50% processing time
has reach but still no use --- it says recorded to DV camera has failed. I wasted 13 hours plus electricity.

But I did learned. So, don't use battery power but use ONLY Power Charger and don't switch-off during rendering. Thru many
practices I know now it will not burn my DVD camera.

All The Best & Keep Making Movie,

RINO,
When you turned off your DV cameria during rendering, and got the message
"Your movie was not recorded successfully to the tape of your DV cameria",
were you able to render that same movie right after that, with your charger
pluggend in? My problem is that when I try to render that same movie I get
this message before the the movie starts rendering to the camera tape.
Randy
 
Yes Randy, just restart every steps from the start. Another thing, I never render back to PC except my original saved DV-AVI
(without editing or text overlay) and WMM saved project file. Most important, adjust camera recording setting to have enough tape
to accept movie total time length; Ex: We've 2 choices; Set for SP for one hour movie and LP for 2 hours. Best to have movie
shorter than 1 or 2 to avoid cuts ending. It is very easy to accurately find the total movie time by first click the Time scale
near the end of movie and press (+) to Zoom-in then click the very end again.

Hope this helps.

RINO,
Thanks for your follow thru and suggestions. I must have a different problem
as I did restart ever step from the start but was still getting the same
message shortly after starting. But thanks again for your help.
