Vista - An interesting PS3/MM6 quirk

An interesting PS3/MM6 quirk

With 33 line items in my laptop's MM6 Compatibility List, this quirk kept me
busy for hours yesterday as I tracked it down. It's now the 4th 'What Can go
Wrong' item on my website's Vista > Publish Movies page. Here's how I wrote
it.

Issue: Sometimes When I mix a Photo Story 3 wmv file in a movie project with
other clips, everything shows fine in the finished movie except the part
from the story, which is just blackness.

Resolution: This happens on my Vista Home Basic laptop when the audio of the
story is muted in the MM6 project and the New Soft Audio Encoder Filter is
listed and checked in the Tools > Options > Compatibility list. If I uncheck
the filter (or rename it - c:\Program Files\Common
Files\NewSoft\NSM2AEnc.ax) and resave the movie, the story clip shows as
usual. If I unmute the audio of the story and lower the volume to zero to
quiet it, the movie also renders fine with the filter checked.

Although I can consistenly repeat the issue, I'm guessing this is really a
symptom of a more basic problem that I don't understand. I'm glad I got this
far with it yesterday. It's another nudge for me to keep routinely working
with all line items unchecked.

RE: An interesting PS3/MM6 quirk

Another interesting quirk. A few minutes ago I found that Photo Gallery
(Vista Home Premium as shipped) played the video from several Quick Time
Movie clips that I'd copied from my hard drive to an SD card for the purpose
of testing the new MOV coveter software. Coincidentally, I didn't download
it.

Re: An interesting PS3/MM6 quirk

Live Photo Gallery on my XP system also plays MOV files.

Re: An interesting PS3/MM6 quirk

If that inludes both video and audio, I may give it a try on my son's machine
while he's at work.

Bon chance

Re: An interesting PS3/MM6 quirk

I watched and heard an MOV video file... if that's what you mean.

Re: An interesting PS3/MM6 quirk

YES.

My son warned me that, if I bought a computer, I would be lumbered with
Vista, and there would be no-one to help me.
