When I pull up a previously created video project in Windows
Moviemaker I get red "X"s for each video clip in the timeline. I
hear audio only with no video. What's casuing this? I have one DVD
of this movie. How do I make more copies with the conditions
presented above?
=========================================
When you open a Movie Maker project file (.mswmm)
for re-editing...and you see Red Xs...that means your
original source files have been moved or deleted.
(scroll way down for info on copying the DVD)
If the source files are still available...right click the Red
X and 'browse' to the files...this will re-establish the path.
It's always a good idea to save your projects in a movie
format also...this is what you need for viewing and sharing.
To save as an .avi movie file...
(and several other options)
Type...Ctrl+P to open the Save Movie Wizard /
Choose...My Computer /
Next /
Enter a Name and a Save Location /
Next /
Show More Choices /
Other Settings /
Open the drop window and choose...DV-AVI /
Next /
Wait while the movie is saved /
Finish...
To save as a .wmv movie file...
Type...Ctrl+P to open the Save Movie Wizard /
Choose...My Computer /
Next /
Enter a Name and a Save Location /
Next /
Tick...'Best Quality For My Computer'
Next/
Wait while the movie is saved /
Finish...
Also, you may find it useful to use
a custom profile:

An easy way to copy your DVD is to use the
following freeware to create and image of the disk...
Then you can make as many copies as you like by
