Can't get finished video off computer to minidv tape!!!

[cooljohn100]

I edited my video just like I usually do on windows movie maker and I wanted to send it to my video camera to place it on a minidv tape to store it on film. The only difference was a different computer. Everything else was exactly the same. When I clicked to transfer the video, it recorded onto tape very slowly with the audio and video moving very slow and the sound was not understandable. It was choppy and digital sounding, like a broken robot.

So...I converted it to an avi file and tried the same thing using WinDV, but the same results occured, except the first 2 second were fine. I don't know what to do!!! It worked fine on my other computer, and this one is newer, so I don't know what is going on! Does anyone know what I should do?

Thanks, John

Have you tried skipping the WMM step and see if it will transfer properly without the edits? If so, the problem could be with WMM. Can't advise much there as I don't use the program, but it might be a problem with the DV codec being used. You could try installing the Panasonic DV codec, but I don't know if WMM can use it. Or try a different version of WMM if possible.

Alternatively, you could use a different editor, maybe VirtualDub or VD Mod.

Well, my computer won't let me get any video off of it so I don't think it's really editing, plus, wmm used to work on the other computer. I tried to download DV codec, but my computer didn't have any programs to open it with and winzip couldn't open it either! Any other programs or ideas?
