>Are you using MovieMaker1 or MovieMaker2---I have (I
think) the exact problem and have been working with this
for awhile.---If you have MM1 you can encode your movie
with any free downloadable MPEG encoder (Like TMGPenc)
The problem for me is that I have been using MM2 since
I "upgraded" and now my encoders no longer support the
files (movies) Very frustrating--I'm looking for an
answer--I would go back to MM1 but MM2 is a far better
program (until encoding time)
