Stopping between scenes

Post by myty »

Just got MovieFactory 4.0 and having problems with my first attempt at burning a DVD.

I used a Sony miniDVD camera to capture some footage. I then used the software that comes with the camera (ImageMixer) to capture to PC. This created a number of MPEG files.

I brought these files into MF and burnt a DVD. I wanted it to be one continuous movie without any menus. All seemed to go fine.

My problem is that when the DVD plays the image freezes before it goes onto the next file.

Is there some step I've missed or something I have done wrong?

thanks

It sounds like the videos aren't joined together as one complete mpeg2 file.
While on the timeline if you select all the clips by holding down the
<ctrl> key and clicking on each one to highlight all of them.
Then hit the Join Icon. (They will all become one clip).
Then using the icons on the left of the screen export the videos out to
one complete mpeg2 file to the harddisk.
When you do this it's very important to make the mpeg2 file your creating
the same properties as the source videos.
Then start a new session and load the new video you created.
Burn that to dvd disk.

Hope this helps,

MD
