I don’t understand the difference but on my laptop the video run, on other computer whit an integrated graphic card Intel 945 or 965 it hung after 5 minutes(video is 8 min 52 sec) there is no difference if the video was in WMV or AVI for that computer(also after update driver, seem that change the option in video card move the crash to 6min ), for mine with nforce go video card it the video run well only if is in WMV!! I convert it from Avi with Windows Media Encoder!

Any Help!?!?

ps: the pps don’t crash simply stop play, reading on Dell forum seem to be the intel drivers…

wtf

When you play just the vid file by double clicking it in the folder, does it do it? It might be something at the start of the movie itself. Try cutting out a couple of seconds or so at the start and making it again…

HA! – it looks like it works now. It played properly when I emailed it to a guy in a zipped folder, he copied all the files onto his desktop, opened the pptx on his desktop – and both movies played properly. Before they begin a black box flashes just before the movie begins – any suggestions on how to get rid of that?

Thanks again…

When you do that, it saves it in wmv form.

In Step 1 – you import video files. Some videos won’t be recognized by MM. If it is, and you use it in the edit, when you go to Step 3 to save it, it saves in wmv form. So, if one of those clips you use to make your movie is in wmv form or avi or whatever, it comes out as wmv when you finish your movie in Step 3…

If you just want to use MM to re-make an entire video you want to use in PP that won’t work, you import it in Step 1. Drop and drag it to the timeline at the bottom. Then, go to Step 3 and make the movie. If the original video was in wmv, it will be in wmv again but created by MM – which seems to clear up problems with wmv files made by any product PP rejects…

How do you take a wmv through movie maker and still have it come out as a wmv…? Probably a stupid question, but any input would be greatly appreciated…
