Title: AVI problem
Post by: jetb123 on June 14, 2005, 10:43:58 AM

Okay i can never save an avi and have it to run in my windows media player. Or windows movie maker. I open film viewer. Choose a film then click save avi choose my settings save as uncompressed all frames. And it says Windows media player doesnt support this type of file. Is there some trick to saving avi's in film viewer or something?:confused:

Keep it under 60 sec's when converting it to an AVI.

Based on your description, it sounds like you're doing everything correctly from within the film viewer. Your "uncompressed" choice might be encoding the avi file in a format that demands a codec that hasn't been installed in your Windows Media Player. You might try downloading additional codecs for Windows Media Player, or you might try saving the avi file from within film viewer with a different compression (codec) choice. I've had similar problems before, but I've always been able to work thru them by diddling with those variables.

Of course.... some codecs are better than others. Experiment and find the best one that works for you.
