Pinnacle Playback Problem - Please Help

mogre1 · 7th February 2002, 22:02

Hi all,

I am a total newbie at capturing DV from my camcorder and purchased Pinnacle Studio card and software to do the job. I can download video onto my hard drive as an avi and can playback trough Pinnacle preview window with no problem. However if I try to play the avi through Windows Media Player 7.1, BS Player or any other media player for that matter, both video stop and start intermittently and then freeze up - they just will not play. I want to put the avis on CD at avi or comparable quality and give to friends etc so they can watch on their computers. I would be grateful if anyone could tell me what I might be missing or doing wrong. For example is there a program I could use to convert these avis into DivX?

Many thanks,
Mogre1.

It's may depends by the AVI compressor that you use when you made the movie. Not all ones are 100% compatible with the windows player. I don'y know if you did already but the indeo one.
I hope this will help you
