I have downloaded a number of digital home videos from my camcorder onto my
XP pc and then written them to .wmv files. Whenever I reload one of these
..wmv files into my XP's Movie Maker, it automatically breaks up it up into
scenes and prominently displays the date and time stamp of when each was
taken.

When I reload these same .wmv files into my Vista Movie Maker I can't find
where the time stamps are. Can someone help point me the right direction? I
find it hard to believe they are not there and available somehow.

Thanks, ds

I have done this, but my question is on Vista's version of MS Movie Maker,
not XP's and link you gave me seems to be for XP. ds

There isn't a Vista group for Moviemaker. You will just have to take a
chance in the XP group. Probably MovieMaker runs the same in either
environment.

I know it is for XP, but have you seen this?

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/moviemaker/learnmore/creatingclips.mspx

Time stamps are inserted by your CAMERA. Most video editing software
even the toy Movie Maker should break your source file up into
"scenes" based on some hard stop (when you turn off the camera) thus
creating a new starting time once you record again or break based on
some rather obvious change between Scene A and B.

My advice, dump Movie Maker and skip importing based on scenes. The
former is just a toy and not suited to serious video making while
importing based on scenes it a clumsy crutch you should distance
yourself from as soon as possible.

The professional way (yes I do professional level video editing) is
import ALL your source files that you plan on using in your project at
one time. Then with decent software (I strongly suggest Sony's Vegas)
you can rearrange across as many timelines as you like making almost
limitless changes and trying what-if scenarios which are far more
conducive to the creative process.

Just to be sure we're on the same page when you refer to time stamps
are your shooting with your camera set to show time stamps or
(hopefully) you have that camera feature turned off and you are only
referring to how one scene is known from another?

Fool, consider yourself very lucky I don't post under my real name or
your repeated shameful and slanderous conduct would force me to
contact authorities for your probable criminal prosecution under
stalking laws and also cause me to direct my attorneys to file a civil
law suit against your for libel.

Think I'm kidding? Think again smart-ass. You have no idea how stupid
you're being writing what you do since it gets archived by Google.

Read and weep smart guy:

Every state with the exception of Maine has enacted anti-stalking laws
that pertain specifically to electronic communications, including
email and Usenet postings.

Worse for fools like you there are several Federal laws that apply
including but not limited to 42 U.S.C. Section 3796 and 42 U.S.C.
Section 14031.

Most states' anti-stalking criminal codes provide that someone is a
"stalker" if he willfully and repeatedly follows, communicates or
harasses another and/or makes a credible threat to place the victim or
the victim's immediate family in fear for their safety.

Note the use of AND/OR and the term harasses.

In some states, like California, you need not prove your stalker had
the intent to carry out his threat. In Canada, you need not prove your
stalker meant to scare you, only that you were scared.

Because Yanaire, Frank and Spanky repeatedly have in the past and
continue to make some stupid allegations that whoever you are arguing
with is engaged in some sick sexual abuse of animals...or other sick
crap you keep suggesting this should meet the test of harassment as
well as libel everywhere.

Count your lucky stars you three idiots are all seen as stupid
penniless fools that nobody as YET wants to bother taking any of you
idiots to court to defend a law suit and teach you losers a much
deserved lesson.

Just for kicks I looked up the Illinois law which would pertain if I
ever decided to file a law suit against any of your morons. Take heed
fools.

Illinois Cyberstalking
720 ILCS 5/12-7.5. Cyberstalking. 2001.

(a) A person commits cyberstalking when he or she, knowingly and
without lawful justification, on at least 2 separate occasions,
harasses another person through the use of electronic communication
and:

(1) at any time transmits a threat of immediate or future bodily
harm, sexual assault, confinement, or restraint and the threat is
directed towards that person or a family member of that person, or

(2) places that person or a family member of that person in
reasonable apprehension of immediate or future bodily harm, sexual
assault, confinement, or restraint.

(b) As used in this section:

"Harass" means to engage in a knowing and willful course of conduct
directed at a specific person that alarms, torments, or terrorized
that person.

"Electronic communication" means any transfer of signs, signals,
writings, sounds, data, or intelligence of any nature transmitted in
whole or in part by a wire, radio, electronmagnetic, photoelectric, or
photo-optical system. "Electronic communication" includes
transmissions by a computer through the Internet to another computer.

(c) Sentence. Cyberstalking is a Class 4 felony. A second or
subsequent conviction for cyberstalking is a Class 3 felony.

Still want to keep playing games?

I assume you know what a felony conviction means to your employment,
credit, travel, voting rights, etc.. And if you think you're hiding,
guess again. I'll introduce you to some more words that should send a
chill down your spine. Discovery. Court Order. Criminal Defense
Attorney.

Oh, in Illinois a Class 4 felony can earn you up to a year in one of
Illinois fine prisons like Statesville, Richard Speck and John Wayne
Gacy loved the place. You being a clown like Gacy, I'm sure you'll fit
right in. So sorry to tell you that Illinois like other states is
going through a severe overcrowding condition in our prisons so expect
to share your cell maybe with somebody named Bubba that's probably
doing a life term and has been working out with weights for hours a
day and is looking for a date. You know, wink, wink. It could be YOU.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Wayne_Gacy

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Speck

Just keep doing what you're doing.

Your first and only warning.

Will you idiots wise up?

I doubt it.
