How to stop audio from sputtering on Windows Live Movie Maker

I hope that I'm asking this in the right place. If not, if someone could direct me to the right place it would be greatly appreciated.
The video and audio in some of my videos are sputtering and spitting even though the sound is correct when I listen to them directly on the computer (not in MM.) If I split and delete all but a few seconds (:15 or so) off of the original video
it's "almost" okay in MM, but the longer the video, the bigger the problem. (More sputtering, longer pauses, video freezes but audio is fine, the whole thing is slow, etc...)
I have a combination of clips from an android (MP4) and iPhone (MOV) files that I am editing together.
I am using Windows 7 Professional and installed Movie Maker a few weeks ago. I can't tell which version I have, but assume it's the latest since I just downloaded it.
I've tried the FixIt link from some other suggestions in posts about the same problem, but it says there's nothing to fix. I don't understand what codec is.
Is there something simple I can do to smooth out the sound, or should I just use YouTube for the editing? (I plan to put this up on YouTube anyway.)
Thank you in advance for a speedy reply. (I originally asked this on August 22 in the Microsoft Community forums, but it FOREVER to get a reply from the moderator. He was giving good instructions, but I can't wait 48 hours to get a reply to a
question I have about his instructions.)

Export from Windows Live Movie Maker to iTunes

Anyone know an easy way to convert videos created in Windows Live Movie Maker to an iTunes compatible format?

Hi frostytosh,
I agree with MisterX. This can be done with Windows Movie Maker and its not very tricky. Just have a look on this Youtube tutorial video.
Also check the Windows Live page about Movie Maker with interesting article about the different features:

Mini-DV Capture to Windows Live Movie Maker

I captured video from my mini-dv cam (GL2) in FCP but my editor uses Windows Live Movie Maker. What is the best way to get video captured using Final Cut Pro into a format that Windows Live Movie Maker can work with?

Here are the file formats WLMM supports:
Windows Media Video (WMV) files
.wmv
Windows Media files
.asf and .wm
AVCHD files
.m2ts and .m2t
Apple QuickTime files
.mov and .qt
DV‑AVI files
.avi
Microsoft Recorded TV Show files
.dvr-ms and .wtv
MPEG‑4 movie files
.mp4, .mov,.m4v, .3gp, .3g2, and .k3g
MPEG‑2 movie files
.mpeg, .mpg, .mpe, .m1v, .mp2, .mpv2, .mod, and .vob
MPEG‑1 movie files
.m1v
Motion JPEG files
.avi and .mov
Can Compressor do any of those? Which is the best? What settings should I use in compressor to process 500GB of footage on my MacBook so that it takes only a few hours and produces the highest quality audio/video possible and results in less than 5GB of footage at the end?
I know I will lose quality. My requirements are simply 500GB to 5GB, best quality possible, WLMM compatible, process time in compressor on a MBP < 6 hours. Please tell me the suggested settings. Thank You.

Can I export to Windows Media 1080p with same quality as Windows Live Movie Maker?

I am looking to replace Windows Live Movie Maker, because of the following:
it keeps crashing
it has occasional problems with audio sync when I use MTS source files
it has very limited editing features (especially inability to increase audio levels for a clip)
However, I would like to still render to 1080p Windows Media files for archiving. Does anyone know if there are settings I could use in Premiere to export to 1080p and get equivalent quality to WLMM? I have failed to find a combination of settings in Premiere that doesn't mess up the video with horizontal lines during motion. Here is an example:
When I use the 1080p export setting in WLMM, the video comes out looking essentially the same as the original MTS files, like in this snapshot:
However, I have failed to find any settings in Premiere Elements that will give an equivalent result. Below is a snapshot from the Windows Media file I exported from Premiere:
And these are the settings I used:
My Equipment:
Canon Vixia HF200
Windows 7 x64
AMD Phenom II x4 945 3Ghz
4GB RAM
300GB 10K RPM HDD
ATI Radeon 4800 Series
Premiere Elements 8 trial
Thanks,

Hi Steve,
Thanks for the response. I did go back and verify the project setting, and I think I was originally using the wrong project settings. This is what I'm using now for the project:
And then to share, I went to Personal Computer -> WMV, and selected these advanced settings:
Unfortunately, I still see the jagged horizontal lines like the original screenshot I posted. I tried playing with other video export settings (constant bit rate, at 8,000 and 20,000 also), and with variable constrained/unconstrained output. I'm really at a loss for what is going on. I did confirm that it doesn't have the horizontal lines if I encode to MPEG, but the WMV problem persists.

Any advice.

Avi plays in Windows Live Movie Maker but probs in Quicktime and Premiere Pro

Hello,
I'm completely new to Premiere Pro and am trying to edit a recording of a webinar for work. I have it in both .avi and .wmv formats but can't import either into Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 or CS5.5. They both play in Windows Media Centre, Windows Live Movie Maker and Windows Media Player, but the audio is corrupted and no images appear when I play in Quicktime with the avi and when I try to play the wmv in Quicktime it says the file is not in a format that Quicktime understands. When I try to import either into Premiere Pro I get the error message "Unsupport format or Damaged File". I've used Gspot to determine that the codecs I need are installed and am at a loss in terms of what to do next. I've spent literally hours on this and would dearly love some help. Can anybody shed light on my problem? With many thanks in advance. Shan

Hi Jim,
It said 0x0055 MPEG-1 Layer 3, 44100Hz 128 kb/s tot , Stereo for the audio
and H264, H.264/MPEG-4 AVC for the video.
Thanks for looking at this for me.

PE 8 crashes when opening project after loading Windows Live/Movie Maker

Have a new HP computer with Windows 7 and plenty of RAM/ROM. Loaded all the updates for Windows, PE 8.01, ATI, etc. but still crashed when I open a project. It worked fine for the first 2 weeks, then I loaded Windows Live/Movie Maker and now PE 8 is unhappy. Seems like lots of crashing issues but can't find this particular one. Reload PE 8? Remove Windows Live/Movie Maker? Thanks if you have some help.

The only thing I can think of is that Windows LIVE/Movie Maker is runnin
g like messenger and Office LIVE and that would be disturbing for
PE8... You can enter the pro
ccesses with ctrl-alt-del and kill the Movie Maker proccess manually (in the handler) in that case and you would not need to uninstall it but repeat killing the proccess every time for PE8.
Otherwise uninstalling LIVE Movie Maker should be fixing it if I take a guess, and I wonder doesn't you have Windows Movie Maker in the computer from start, why would you need/want Windows LIVE Movie Maker (at least my Vista has Movie Maker preinstalled)?

HELP - How to stop audio from starting when captivate loads

Hi there,
I'm trying to work out how to stop my audio files attached to objects (images) from playing when captivate initially loads. I have a number of images with audio and when captivate initially loads all of the audios play at once which isn't good. I only want the audio associated with the object to play when the user clicks the item.
I've been researching for days and can't find an answer. Am I doing something wrong, or am I overlooking something.?
Could someone PLEASE help me with this or at least put me in the right direction. Any suggestions will be appreciated!!!
Jasmin

To achieve that you have to separate the audio from the image. The principle I explained in this article http://lilybiri.posterous.com/audio-objects-control-them
The audio will play when the object to which it is attached gets visible. If you attach the audio to another object like a non-visible highlight box (that is my 'audio object' but you can use also a non-visible drawing object), you can set this 'audio object' to invisible in its Properties panel. When the user clicks on the click box, execute the action 'Show audio object' and the audio will play. I would even recommend using advanced standard actions over a simple action because you will be able to hide the other audio objects at the same time, and the play head will not be released - see video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3nKi-DB6Fw&feature=plcp
You have to know that hiding an audio object, will pause the audio. If you show it again, it will continue playing, not restart.

How to stop Finder from opening new windows to view contents of folders.

I have 2 folders on my desktop, called "Home" and "Work." Both are aliases to files stored in user/documents on my HD. Both contain many folders within folders within folders and, ultimately, documents. When I double click on the "Home" desktop alias, a finder window opens showing contents. When I click on any folder within that window, it does what I want it to...switches to the contents of that folder (within same window, without opening a new one.) This works for everything in that folder.
When I double click on a folder within the "Work" folder, however, it opens a new window at every level. By the time I get to the document I want, I may have 5 or 6 windows open, which I then have to manually close.
I have gone into Finder/Preferences/General and the "Always open new window" box is NOT checked. Any one know why it would still be doing this? (No new applications are opening when I click on the folders, just a new finder window.) And why would it do it for one desktop folder and not the other?
I looked through discussions till my head spun and only saw the Finder/Preferences fix, so I'm hoping there's another fix, like a preference file somewhere that I just need to trash. Any help would be appreciated.
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

I don't know if this is the problem, but for windows in "Icon" or "List" view that are set so that the "Toolbar" is not showing, a folder opened within that window will tend to open a new window. This is just a difference in behaviour between the two modes. To show / hide the toolbar, try clicking the elongated button in the upper right corner, in the "titlebar" of the window, or choose "Show Toolbar" / "Hide Toolbar" from the "View" menu.
Additionally, a workaround might be to switch to "Column" view ("View" > "as Columns" ⌘3), since opening a folder within a window in "Column" view does not appear to spawn a new window, even with the "Toolbar" hidden. Another option might be to hold down the "option" key while opening the folder - this causes the previous window to close as the new window is opened.

Windows Live Movie Maker will not work

After downloadng Windows Essentials and the WMM I received this error message
Windows cannot access the specified device path or file.
You may not have the approprate permissons to access
the item
Tried downloading again as administrator with no success.

Hi,
I agree with
arnavsharma to run the WMM as administrator to see the results.
Also, I suggest you use Process monitor to capture the events when you repro this issue.
Process Monitor v3.05
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx
If you find any file or registry key with access denied error, try following guide to fix it:

You can also upload the saved process file into file service like Onedrive and share the link here for our research.

How to stop iphone from autoplay when plug into car audio system usb?

how to stop iphone from autoplaying when connected to your car audio USB ?

You need to remove the association that Windows has with that particular file type. To do that, you need to open Windows Explorer. From there, click on Tools, then Folder options. Click on the tab that is named file types. You then need to find the extension for the photos that appear in the iPhone, then click that registered file type. Once you do that, there is a section to select the program to open that file type with. You can click on the change button, and that will allow you to change the program that it opens with, or restore the default. There is also a box that can be checked to always use the selected program. If you unselect it, it will prompt you next time on what program to use.
Hope this helps.

From where. I don't think you can keep it mininmized when importing because if it runs into a duplicate it will present a warning window for you to make a decision in. Therefore, it will always be open when importing.

I have itunes set up to sync with my Ipod Touch and my Ipad. As of today, it keeps looking for an iPhone to sync with and give me an error message. I don't have an iPhone and don't know how to stop it from popping open with this error message.

I have Itunes set up to sync with my Ipod touch and Ipad. As of today, iTunes has started searching to sync with an iPhone, which I don't have and pops open with an error message stating it cannot locate the iPhone to sync. I have looked in devices and only the iPad and iPod Touch are listed. Any ideas on how to stop iTunes from searching for any iPhone it is never going to find? It is annoying to have it popping up all the time with the error message. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

You should really read the manual.
"How do you restore from backup? "
Restore. When given the choice, choose to use backup.
"And how can I check to see if the pics and videos are on my computer somewhere first??"
They would only be where you put them. What program did you use to import them? Pics/vids taken with ipod are not part of the sync process at all. You should be importing them just as you would with any digital camera.
If you did not import them, then they are not on your computer.
