Hello,

It doesn't work if I use a WMV file either. I get the same error message.
The error message comes up pretty much immediately when I press the "Next"
button. As a test, I tried to create a DVD with the WMV file here:

http://support.microsoft.com/support...diaexample.wmv

I don't know what codecs my AVI files were using. I just captured them
using the Windows Import tool. How can I tell what codecs they are using?
I suspect this may not be the problem since the WMV files don't work either.

Thanks for your help.
Mark
