Hi,
I have tried your suggestion, but still get the same problem. I also
can't
find your sample screen shot attachment, maybe I don't know how to find
it in
this newsreader screens.
Maybe you or others reading this can explain how I can insert or attach
bmp
screen shots or a saved Graphedt grf file in this newsreader program?
Here are the word descriptions of what happens:
I dragged a Movie Maker collection countdown_blue.wmv video file into
graphedt.exe, it did automatically make a graph, as series of three boxes
connected by right headed arrows. The names in each box are: raw video 0,
Countdown_Blue. wmv: in0.....out0, WMVideo Decoder DMO; and the last
"box"
has VMR Input0 Video Renderer. I can't access the "properties for these.
When I click the play button in graphedt, the monitor immediately jumps
to
full screen mode, plays the countdown and then stops. I have no other way
to
get back to the desktop except for pressing the Green button on the MC
Remote
to open Media Center, then exit with the Remote back to the desktop.
There, I
find the graphedt program window again with the "graph" info in its gray
window, plus a smaller "Active Movie Window" that is blank with no video
info
in it. This Active Movie Window appears to be the viewing window that is
a
part of Movie Maker.
I wish I knew how to insert the screen shots I made of graphedt or even a
saved graphedt file, or how to send it to you in another manner, but
can't
see any method of doing that using MSIE/Newsgroup reader.
Hope this is enlightening somehow, and thanks,
:
Bizzare...
Frank -
You are probably are still looking at a codec/filter problem, even if
it's
not showing up in the Compatibility tab. It sounds like something is
being
pulled into the graph that won't connect to the Video Render, and is
trying
to default back to the old video renderer.
Here's what you can try to do to debug:
1. Grab a copy of Graphedit. You can download it from:
http://www.digital-digest.com/dvd/downloads/graphedit.html (Just grab
Graphedt.exe from the zip file! You don't need the rest of the
filters, and
they might just complicate any issue you are experiencing.)
2. Launch Graphedt.exe on the machine experiencing the problem. Find
one of
your video files that causes the bug, and drag it into the large gray
area.
When you drop the file in, Graphedt should "automagically" buld the
rest of
the playback graph. Push "Play" on the toolbar (the little green
arrow), and
watch some of your file playback. Hopefully, this will exhibit the same
problem you are seeing in MM.
3. Take a screen shot of the graph, and post it back to the group.
I've attached a sample screen shot to show you what we're looking for.
I
expect the filters in your graph to be somewhat different from the
one's I'm
showing, and hopefully that will point us to the problem.
Hope this helps!

Hi, Sorry about my delay in replying, holiday stuff.
The files can be either an imported avi or wmv. It is not dvr-ms
types
that
I have recorded with media center (so far all I have figured out what
to
do
with those is use the Sonic Primetime that came with the Gateway/MC
2004,
and
it only lets you burn, not edit).
This "bug" also happens if I merely import an animated Transitions,
Video
Titles and End Credits, file for example and attempt to "play" it.
Once I
am
in the full screen mode, only way out is I click the Green button on
the
MC
Remote and jump into the Media Center interface, then exit. That puts
me
back
to the Movie Maker program. If I try to run the Transition, Title
etc.
again,
it does the same process.
If I capture video from the digital video cam and get the clip(s) in
Movie
Maker, those react the same way, that is, I get an immediate full
screen
mode
when trying to preview the clip or a completed movie (before
exporting to
media file type).
Hope that helps....,
:
What sort of file is it that you are taking into Movie maker? Is it
an
avi,
wmv or one of the dvr-ms files that the media centre creates when
recording
live from tv?
Sorry for delay.

Hi, I did try that, in particular, turning off the Media Center
codecs,
in
fact, I removed checkmarks for all of them, but that did not
help.
I was able to use Roxio Easy CD and DVD creator to accomplish
the
task,
but
wanted to use WMM. I think this is a bug with WMM and Media
Center
2004.
Unfortunately, MS won't sell me Media Center 2005 and Gateway
pleads
ignorance of upgrades for that version, so far.
Any other ideas?
:
Look at the codecs and turn any that might be interfering off,
it's
on
a
new
tab in the options window.

I want to use WMM to edit and create a movie. I use a Media
Center
2004 PC
from Gateway (901X).
Problem: When I open WMM and load a video file (or clip) and
then
try
to
preview the video clip in the preview window, also when the
video
clip
is
placed on the timeline or storyboard, the computer jumps
immediately
to a
full screen mode, as if I am viewing a DVD movie file using
Media
Center,
and
I can't back out or stop that process.
So, I lose all control buttons etc., and can't really edit
the
video.
It
does this every time I start WMM. I'm using the latest
version.
How can I fix this?
Thanks
