No Video during playback - Audio Works

[Guest]

When trying to play a project I'm working on, the screen stays black but the
audio works. I read some other posts and tried converting to .avi. But when I
import the .avi clip I get an error that I don't have the correct codec
installed. However, I can play a .avi file outside of WMM. When I covert my
file (which is originaly QTime) to .wmv and import, the video is cut up into
a lot of different files, which none will play at all and the viewing screen
turns green. I originally converted the files to .mpg and was having no
problem at all. Then awhile ago the problem popped up with a black screen
with the audio working. Any ideas? Thanks.

I installed the xp codec package from free-codecs.com. Now I can import the
avi file but it cuts it up into several clips and the screen is just green.

==================================
To prevent the file from being split
while importing...uncheck..."Create
Clips For Video Files" on the import
screen.

For the green screen...try reducing
your Graphics Hardware Acceleration.
If an improvement is realized...you need
to download and install an updated
video driver.

Thanks for replying. I have already reduced, or actually shut-off
acceleration. That took care of the problems when trying to watch imbedded
video on the net. I'll try to update my video driver. I've tried updating it
in the past but I haven't been able to figure out exactly how.

===================================
Go to the support website of your video
adapter's mfg. and search for drivers.

If you don't know the make and model of
your video adapter...check the documentation
that came with the computer.

Also you could try these steps...
Go to...Start / Run...type...
msinfo32 ...press enter.

On the System Information screen...choose...
Components / Display...

You should find the make and model of your
display adapter as well as the driver version.

If the driver on the support website is more
current than the one you are running...
download it and install it. Also you should find
installation instructions at the support site.
