freefallcrab 0 #1 August 18, 2004 Can anyone help with what is probably a really basic problem. I have compiled a movie of the UK 4-way Nationals and burnt it to CD. As I am fairly new to the editing game I have been using MS Movie Maker (coz its free prior to buying a more advanced editor such as Premiere but more on that in my next thread). I have edited the movie and burnt it to CD and it plays back fine through Media Player. The problem I am having is that the CD does not play back through a DVD player?TV combination. Can anyone think of a way I can cheat Movie Maker into saving the movie as something which is compatible with a UK DVD player/TV combination? Use your wings Johnny....

nacmacfeegle 0 #2 August 18, 2004 Yep, go here, download the latest tsunami encoder. http://www.tmpgenc.net/e_main.html This will help you make a VCD or (better quality)SVCD. The entire project (I'm assuming you dumped a whole load of footage onto a cd as AVI?)will require to be rendered into this format then burned to disc. It should then play on your DVD player, not all DVD players can read VCD/SVCD, but its almost certain that your one can't read raw AVI files. I'll chat with you in the avvo about your other prob.-------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

freefallcrab 0 #3 August 18, 2004 Nacmacfeegle - thanks for the quick reply, I will try that when I get home. The project wasnt dumped as an AVI (and that might be part of the problem) - the footage was downloaded into MS Movie Maker, edited with music, stills, transitions etc and then saved: however, with Microsoft Movie Maker when you save the finished movie it is stored in a bespoke Movie Maker format (.wmv I think) and I am guessing that this format isnt recognised by DVD/TV players.
