NEVERMIND....false alarm!!

I should have searched a little harder before posting my question. I see it
everywhere! I just changed the file extension from .avi to .mpeg and it works!

Check the tip near the bottom of the page at

with an MPEG extension instead.)

Hi,

Yep. I experienced this as well a while ago. Glad you got it sorted.

hi, i was trying to do a presentation with a .avi video. it works on my
computer, but in the classroom it gives me an error about not being able to
find the "vids:mjpg decompressor" i have no idea how to fix that. it isnt
just my computer that it works on either. it works on several other
computers. does anybody know where to find this decompressor or how to fix
this? thanks for your help. isak

This seems simple, I agree. But how do I change the extension from .avi to
..mpg? I can't find the option to "Save file as..." Is that how I change the
extenstion? I have a feeling this is simple, and my brain just isn't working
right today.
