Lack of driver - msvcp71.dll

[Guest]

After assembling a movie in Windows Movie Maker, when I tried to send to the
DVD-RW drive, the program saved, then, came back with "missing driver
msvcp71.dll" - - I have found "msvcp70.dll in /windows/system 32/ folder.
And, I found "msvcp71.dll" through one of the Microsoft Download pages
(through a 3rd Party, though), but did not know where to place the new file,
nor how to auto-download correctly.
A new upgraded Movie Maker was supposed to be included in XP SP2, which my
computer already has; and I have all the automatic updates that are required.
Any help?

Well if you have the "Save to DVD" option then you must have a Media Edition
computer but if you are clicking on "Save to CD" and expecting to save it to
a DVD this will not work. Either way I never recommend saving directly to a
CD or a DVD as you end up creating a lot of coasters doing this. I always
recommend saving the video to your hard drive and from there going to CD or
DVD using a DVD Authoring Program. (List of them on my website)

You are pretty good - - nice site too. Do you have any preference for DVD
authoring? MyDVD, Nero, etc. I tried both DVD-R and DVD+R, what is the
difference in these discs (simple question, but I don't know)
Also, why can't I set the program to create a 2 hour DVD, instead of what I
got, 1 hour?

Thanks for the compliments! I hope you checkout out my memorial website too.

Yes I definitely have a preference and believe me I tried many programs so I
am not making a light recommendation. After all the different programs I
have trialed and/or purchased and tried I very much prefer the Ulead
products.
I use Movie Factory 3 for smaller projects
and
DVD Workshop2 for larger ones with multiple menus etc...
I also use Ulead GIF animator, how many here know you can import an animated
GIF into Movie Maker?

As far as DVD+R and-R I don't really have a "technical" answer but I can
tell you that some older DVD burners only work with -R disks but new ones
are all compatible with both. You may also find occasionally that some DVD
players will only work with one or the other but with new players I don't
think that is often the case.

1 hour on a DVD is the best you can get for a full quality DVD.
With most of the "better" authoring programs you can adjust the settings to
get more than that on a disk but if you go too far quality will suffer. For
instance with DVD Workshop2 I can adjust it to get 4 hours on a DVD but it
looks like crap unless you watch it on a 13" television!
