I couldn't get this computer to let me watch it without skipping, so downloading to watch on the laptop -- though I am sure it will be awesome as usual!

Also, while I'm here, a question: would spn_sceneit be a place I could ask for technical help with a vid? WMM is giving me a headache and I have no idea who to ask and my flist was somewhat silent on the subject.

:D

Hee! Thanks - I hope it's ok.

As far as I know spn_sceneit haven't set up an "area" for tech help - mostly finding scenes, beta's, inspirations etc. Though there are places for WMM help I'm sure. I don't use that program otherwise I'd certainly offer some help.

SVS has a help section in their forums and there's LOTS of stuff re WMM. Let me know if you don't have any luck because there some vidders I know that I'm sure would be happy give you some advice.

It was cute! Made me laugh and I especially liked the way you edited some of the scenes together, like (if my memory doesn't fail me) the 'antiquers' line followed by the ass-slap from 'Bugs'. :D And hee, so entertaining to see them flinging badges and aliases all over the place!

I will look there, thank you. I really had no idea who to ask, and I didn't think you DID use WMM or I would have asked you specifically :P

It's kind of a very amateur video and probably not very good, but I'd still like to be able to finish it!

Thank you. :)

Good luck with it. I hear that WMM can be a pain sometimes. If you have no joy let me know and I'll see if I can link somewhere that can help.

I'm poking through the forums and coming up empty. The short version of the problem is that I'm using Vista and this is the first vid I've made with WMM on Vista, and it won't save correctly. It gets to a certain point in the vid and the video disappears and the screen is black, and I've saved it over and over in all different formats to no avail. I am so stuck! D:

Hmmm ... leave it with me. I'll see if I can find someone who may have an answer. (I'm a mac user so I have no experience with Vista either ....) but I'm sure there will be someone who can help. I'll let you know how I go.....

Thank you so much, honey! <333 It's intensely frustrating to have done all that work and not be able to actually SAVE it. I abandoned it for months and finally finished it and now it's just sitting there as a project.

Check out: http://community.livejournal.com/vidding_tech/

I know someone just asked this question there a little bit ago. For all I know it could have been you. Anyway, usually they are pretty good with coming up with answers. Check back in old questions. I know just a few weeks ago I gave a link to Papajohns WMM site. Which answers tons of questions of WMM in particular. Just from what you are saying I'd be willing to bet your files are encoded avi files, which is just so not good. Adding Vista into the mix makes it worse.

I'd go into more detail but my computer broke so I'm typing this up at work and don't have my handy-dandy links.

Google PapaJohn's WMM: troubleshooting vista and that should get you to the site.

Good luck!

*encoded Divx/Xvid avi files

It's the Divx/Xvid part that causes the problems.

I'm also sending you a PM with a contact for help....

Thank you so much for trying to help, I really appreciate it. :D I poked around on some of those sites and found something that was supposed to help, and I'm still messing around with the fix to see if it will solve the problem, although I haven't had much luck so far (and it was the middle of the night when I was doing it!).

I'm not sure what you mean by encoded avi files... uh, I mean, I guess I kind of understand? I made the clips myself and yes, they are avi files... and of course, yeah, Vista :P I never had this problem on XP, even though WMM would crash all the time.

Again, I really appreciate you taking the time to try and help me, especially when your computer is not working.

No problem. The tech side of this stuff just fascinates me. :D ( ... )

I don't mind wordy :D I meant, I made clips from downloaded episodes, which means I'm sure they used Divx. The weird thing is most of the clips DO work...

Anyway, I'll keep fussing with it. I never turned my laptop on today so I haven't tried anything else yet.

I think my biggest problem is that if I was actually a vidder and not just someone who dabbles very occasionally, it would be worth using a program besides WMM...

*fails* I forgot to thank you again for taking the time to type all that up! :D
