Ah! not again!

[Mafioso11]

well a while ago i was havin trouble with watching vids on my comep so my pal ssj4gokou told me to download the ACE Mega CoDecS Pack. i did and now i can watch vids perfectly on my comp buuut..............i'm having troubles with my windows movie maker. when i put clips on the timeline and play it on the timeline, nothing shows on the screen (but the audio still plays). that only happens when i play ir on the timeline though, when i preview a clip it shows fine but when i try to play it on the timeline....AH! so if anyone can help me out, that would be great.


and the reason i named the thread "ah! not again!" is cuz i've had many comp problems and usually post about them here ;D. but ya'll ususally help, thanks .

Im not an expert soo... i would try moving the movie to another area and importing it again(dont know if this will work )
Otherwise just wait for some of the others to post replys.

I 2 have a problem watching videos. 80-90% of all movies are upside down in allprograms, except BSplayer.

well i don't think it matters where i import the vids from cuz the other day i imported part of this home video from a hand-held camera into wmm and it had the same problem. the preview clips worked fine, but when i dragged them onto the timeline, they screen would be just black (but the audio worked). so there is something wrong with the timeline. and i think it has to do with that codec thing i downloaded and mentioned in my 1st post cuz whenever i use wmm, these green arrows show up on the bottom right side of my toolbar and i can't close them (until wmm is closed). i think if i can somehow close those, the timeline will work. ah! i wanna make some amvs but i can't do anything if i can't see what i'm doin .

try saving as a diff. format.

P.S. i don't have any of these programs, so i'm just guessing lol.

Does it do this with all the video clips? Some clips just don't work, the people do something do them rendering them useless for use by another person. Try moving them to my documeents and importing them from there if you haven't already. I really don't know what to tell you all and all, I'll think about it and try to get back to you on it.

[Mafioso11]

none of the vids work on it. even ones that i've already made and opened up from being saved on my comp. but like i said it isn't the clips with problems, it's the windows movie maker. if i can't fix this problem, i'll have to get another program to make my amvs .

[brollyuniverse]

Try deleting and uninstalling WMM and then going to somewhere like www.download.com to redownload/install it, but make sure you save yours videos.

[Mafioso11]

hmm, yea that might work but all my imported stuff will get deleted from there too...i have patience, i'll just import it all back. ok, i'll try this (but later since i'm kinda lazy right now ). thanks for the suggestion/s

[gokuromario]

something went wrong with my computer and now the clips are either too big to modify or too small to modify

[Mafioso11]

well i finally fixed it. just as i thought, the problem dealt with the ace codeck thingy i downloaded. i found the files that were causing the problem and sent them to my recycle bin (didn't erase them though cuz idk, i may need them in the future ). anyway, everything is fixed, the vids show fine on the timeline and i'm still able to enjoy media from the codeck media player. thanks for the help guys .
