I didn't succeed yet in getting an .avi file from PTE that can be read by either Ulead Movie Factory 2 or TMPGEnc. I have also obtained from PTE an uncompressed .avi file that CANNOT be read by any player, including WMediaPlayer, nor can be read by TMPGEnc! Do I need to change/set something specific in PTE? Do I need specific codecs or renderers installed? The error messages I get when trying to read or play the .avi files produced by PTE are: "The file format is not supported by " Windows Media Player "can not open, or unsupported" TMPGEnc "Unable to open file - File reading error" when trying to add video to Ulead MovieFactory2 I am using XP Home edition Windows Media Player series9 Directx9 Is there somebody that can drive me to the success? I am using PTE since almost three years and have really appreciated it till now.
