Message: [QUOTE="biglou, post: 159121"] I have several questions, if I can remember them all. I know Okie and some others are adept at manipulating their captured video, so here goes: Home PC- Compaq 5000, 800mHz processor O/S-Windows ME Video card-ATI All-in-Wonder 128 (I think:o) Software-Ulead VideoStudio 4.0 Viewer-Windows Media Player (whatever version came with the PC, it has the changable "skins" option) Work PC- Gateway boat anchor, 266mHz processor. :o O/S-Windows 98Plus. Viewer-Windows Media Player 7.1 (just downloaded it a couple weeks ago) My questions: 1) A 3-minute mpeg is about 45meg. Is there any way to reduce that size? The same footage saved as an AVI was 1.08gig!! 2) When I play the captured and rendered video files back (at home), either in Windows Media Player or RealPlayer, I can only play, pause or stop. There is no "scroll bar" or total clip time displayed. It just says 0:00 up in the corner. There is a timer that runs as the clip plays, but the scroll bar icon does not move as the clip plays, however. 3) I burned these to disc to bring to work to play. They played fine at home after burning them, with the exception of the problems noted above. At work, however, I get an error message that says the format is not supported. I have the latest verson of Windows Media Player here at work. When I click "properties", it says that it is an mpeg movie file. It just won't play here at work. Why would something play at home but not at work using the same program (WMP)?? I don't even have the latest decompressor at home. I have to download the DIVx (4.1, I think) at home before I can watch the super motard video I posted last week. THAT I can watch here at work, where I have the latest WMP version and the DIV4 decompressor. Is it possible that the DIV4 will not support the mpeg I created at home, and that my WMV at home doesn't support the motard video, thus making them mutually exclusive? I'm stumped, and not a real natural with this video stuff. So, any info would be greatly appreciated, and please, talk slowly! Thanks in advance.:) [/QUOTE]
