I too see MM2 close when trying to add transitions

[Guest]

I captured some home movies last evening, using Win MM2 to do so. When I set up my timeline, all of the clips appear and drag just fine. As soon as a drag a transition down in between the clips, the program closes immediately. Now, I changed my hardware acceleration to 3 as PapaJohn suggested to another poster, but I'm not understanding codec part. Like I said, I used MM2 to capture the video from a VCR, using a Dazzle DVC80. I didn't chose any specific codec that I'm aware of. Any thoughts? Thanks.

If the change in hardware acceleration didn't resolve it, change it back and
go down the codec path.

It's a matter of searching your computer for specific files, and renaming
one or two of them.... if you have them. See the Problem Solving >
Acceleration and Codecs page of the site.

Hi there,

I have written a program that will solve your problem if it is related
to bad codecs. I have also written some step by step instructions on how to
approach the problem. The program is called "Rename Codecs" you will find it
and the FAQ on my website. Please read the FAQ first on Codec Crashing
