Unable to play and edit .mpg clips in my movie..

[Guest]

Please help...I am in a time crunch. I am making a composition video for a
school basketball team using both DV clips and still pics. This is my first
time using video clips. I have the clips captured (ULEAD pro 7.0) , I can
import the clips into mm2 and place them in the timeline. When I captured
the video, I used the video only and skipped the audio with my plan to dub
over an audio track later. I see the clip in the timeline, but when I try to
watch (edit) it, the screen goes black. I apologize now if the answer is in
the additional 64 pages of posts, (If it is, and you know where to find
it...let me know.) but I don't have the time to read every previous post.
The rest of my movie if coming along nicely, but the video clips will be a
great addition. BTW, I have an XP system with 3 gig of ram and a 200gig HD.
PLEASE help. ( I do plan to read all this when I have time.)

see the Import Movie Source Files > Video > MPEG-2 page of my website. If
they don't work, they need conversion before importing.
