An interface has too many methods to fire events from?
Posted: 16 Nov 2003 10:08 AM |
I use a Sony Cyber-shot digital camera. It saves movie clips in mpeg files. I have lots of these stored on my computer and would like to link some together but every time I try to import anything into MM I get the following message.
MOV00774.MPG could not be imported. An interface has too many methods to fire events from
I don't understand the second sentence. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what it means and what I may have to do to be able to import the files?
Thanks. |

Yup, an MPEG2 file. See the Importing Source Files... Video... MPEG2 page at www.papajohn.org
It's an issue with not having an appropriate codec for MM2 to work with.

Thanks for the help.
I had to change a setting in the Ligos MPEG configuration utility.
Am now importing, have renamed the DivX file but am still getting freezes when playing back files as well as the regular inability to preview the movie in the window on the right of the display. Will let you know more if I can't find the help in these pages.
Thanks again. |

Depending on your computer MHz, memory, etc, you will get freezes when previewing (especially transitions between clips).
If it's due to a format issue with your MPEG, you might want to try a 3rd party product to convert to AVI (for example), and import that instead.

I have a very serious problem and I would like some assistance. I own the new JVC GR-D73, its a digital camara that also take still pictures. I downloaded the movie maker 2, so I could edit what I have on video. But when I go to capture video in the movie maker wizard, it either freezes or I get the error message "Interface has too many methods to fire from."
The program image mixer came with my Camcorder, but it doesn't have all the editing tools I need. I really would rather use MM2, if I could get it to work. |

| that's a clue that you are trying to import and use MPEG2 files without a codec that works with MM2. See the Importing Source Files > Video > MPEG2 page of my site. |

I had some old VHS tapes with footage of our daughter when she was a baby that I've been wanting to import to my PC for further processing for some time. I just found that a USB2 TV tuner gadget I had lying around could be used as an acceptable interface between the PC and my VCR. The capture program that came with the tuner - PowerVCR II - produce .MOV files which, when I try to load them into WMM2 give the error "An interface has too many methods to fire events from" - so I assume they're a sort of MPEG-2 files...
I've read through this thread and Papa John's website and downloaded VirtualDubMod to try to convert the MOV files to AVI - but are running into some hurdles:
1) The .avi files produced are HUGE - a 20 min clip, 600 MB .MOV produce a 16 GB .avi (!) The quality of the MOV files aren't actually very high - usual VHS quality - so 16 GB seems a bit of an overkill. Is there a way to configure VirtualDubMod to produce something a similar size as the input file?
2) The picture as displayed by VirtualDubMod is like compressed. I don't know how to explain it, it's like instead of shoing 640x320 or whatever the format is, it shows in 320x320. Is there a way to configure VirtualDubMod to use the correct format?
Sorry if these are dumb questions. I don't have much experience with video editing, only using it for a few family videos.....

If you search this forum, you will find references for mov to avi conversion. I believe the most recommended one is Rad video tools.
I would suspect that a compressed file converted to raw avi would balloon out as you described. You would have to make sure you used an avi codec that provided some compression. |

Tools -> Options -> Compatability
Unchecking did not work for me, but unchecking half did.
I basically checked them all, then unchecked 3 at a time, until I could upload. I then started to recheck to see which filter was bad, but got too many errors, so I just unchecked down to DIVX, and I am now able to upload MPEG2 |

| I found that unchecking MPEG 2 Splitter PIXELA fixed my problem with importing an MPG file created by ImageMixer with my JVC GR-D73 camera. It would say "The file C:\... is not valid because it does not contain any information." when I previously tried to import video. THANK YOU for this forum and the help with this issue! |

Hi I use sony's SR1, a HD cam,

Why do i get it now and not before ?.

I have a a Canon DC100 camcorder. It takes miniDVDs. I have two modes I can take videos in. One in Video and one in VR.
I tried to edit these files (MPEG) in the program and realized it wouldn't work. I changed my files to AVI and MPG files using the program TMPGEnc but when I tried to import the new files into WMM, I still get the message "An interface has too many methods to fire events from". What am I doing wrong? Why won't it read them?

| I'd guess you didn't do something right when converting them, or you're trying to import the same files again.... hard to tell from this distance. |

I had the same problem. Found out later somehow Movie Maker will not take in MPG files. I used Media Decoder to convert the MPG to AVI. Problem solved.
To download Media Decoder, go to http://mediacoder.sourceforge.net/dlfull.htm |

welcome to the forum...
This thread is 4-1/2 years old... my latest thinking is on my website's Import Movie Source Files > Video > Discs page... see the short section about VirtualDub MPEG-2. Bring your canary. |

I tweaked the Import Movie Source Files > Video > MPEG page a little... to add VirtualDub MPEG2 as an either/or to using VDubMod.
The canary isn't dying... it's just confused. |

I just started using Movie Maker 2, and after wading through this and other threads, the solution in my case involved two steps:
1. Disabling the "CyberLink Audio Decoder" from a PowerDVD download. That was the ONLY compatibility filter I originally had after getting Movie Maker as part of XP SP2 and loading the Sony support software for the HDR-SR7 Camcorder. Doing that stopped the "An interface ..." error but produced an "Unable to ..." error instead.
2. Adding the Matroshka 1.1.2 Full Codec Pack and then doing an online update of it. This added, among other things the "MPV Decoder Filter" 1.0.0.3, and that filter alone was enough to let me import the .mpg (MPEG-2) files which the Sony application (Picture Motion Browser) produced.

Hello PapaJohn,
I am not sure whether it was related to your page tweaking, but there is a link on your "resolve problems with Movie Maker" page which appears to be broken. It points to "/MM2-Importing-Video.html", which is not found. Using the left side navigation menu instead gives the working link, "/MM2-Importing-Video-MPEG2.html".
My canary and I are now both doing fine and appreciate your help! |

thanks inetdog.... I tried to find and fix the link, but I need more help, as I don't have a page in my menu named "resolve problems with Movie Maker", and didn't find such a link on the page I had tweaked.
The link you refer to could be on a page that isn't mine. |

Ok so I finally was able to import .mpg files from my sony camera to Windows Movie Maker. I actually first tried downloaded Windows Movie Maker 2, but realized I couldn't go to Tools: Options: and Compatibility to play around with checking and unchecking boxes.
So I had to search online on how to remove WMM2 because you cannot go to remove it from your control panel. I was able to find how to uninstall WMM2 here: http://www.windowsmoviemakers.net/Forums/AddPost.aspx?PostID=174191&mode=flat
I then did a windows update and downloaded Matroska Pack Full 1.1.2 final from http://www.free-codecs.com/Matroska_Pack_download.htm
I tried importing my .mpg extension files and it finally worked! I haven't tried anything else so I hope it has it's full function ability. Is WMM2 worth downloading?
Hope this helped.
Bryan

welcome to the forum....
if you mean 'is WMM2.1 worth downloading".... yes, but you get it by downloading the full XP SP2 update, not by downloading an MM2.1 installation pack.
If your MPG file is MPEG1, then Movie Maker might work with it fine. If it's MPEG2, success importing it and putting it on the timeline might be followed by frustrations during editing or trying to save a movie from the project. I'll often use Movie Maker to convert the MPEG2 file to a DV-AVI one for editing. |

| successfully importing a clip is just the first part of being able to use it in a movie project... if you get past the import, then you can still run into other issues as you work or try to render a movie from the clips... |

Okay, here's what I did:
1) I installed Theorica DivX Codecs (you can probably find them on download.com)
2) I went to Start > All Programs > Theorica DivX Codecs > ffdshow configuration and I changed all the ones to do with "MPEG" from "disabled" to "libavcodec"
The next time I went into Movie Maker, I could import with no problems.
I really hope this works for everyone else with this problem, 'cause it drove me crazy! =) |
