Vista published video stays black

[RAydon]

ok so i edited a movie together from clips i recorded from ZT2 using fraps.
it works fine in the preview screen but after i publish the videos is black
and the only thing that works is the still image at the end. i unchecked the
filter i have in there and i even tried turning off everything in the
compatibility box. nothing. just the same problem. if anyone could help it
would be really apreciated

It usually means the source file needs to be converted to something else
that works, before you import it into Movie Maker.

You should check the source file with GSpot to see what compressor it's made
with... there's a link to get GSpot on my Setup Movie Maker > Codecs and
Compressors page.
