Say, hey... I'm getting the hang of this thing. It took a while to remember I had selected "no" during the installation when it asked if I wanted to install DirectShow and DirectX 7.1. After reading the entire help file, word for word, it dawned on me that maybe XP didn't have all the stuff I needed.
I uninstalled and reinstalled, choosing "yes" this time, and bingo - I had video and audio I could open and drop-and-drag into the composer. And when I saved my partially completed composition, it saved as an EDL.
I've been struggling all day to find a program to convert my wav audio file to a workable mpeg-layer 2 that was acceptable to M2-edit. I lucked out, I think, when I decided to compress the audio file and process it through Virtual Dub. For the first time I can actually hear the sound as it's coded and I am hopeful M2-edit will be able to pick it up this time. If that's true, I'll be good to go!
