Cari,

As far as I can tell, the only time I was ever given a choice of "format"
was when I initially brought the pictures into the program from the camera.
Either there or when I saved the project. In either case, I did pick the
DV-AVI format to keep the camcorder's resolution.

I'll try that tonight. I'll also try recording from the video card's SVideo
direct to VHS. I'll also create a new project in MM and import in the movie
it wrote to the camcorder - that way at least I'll get an AVI file of the
final movie.

Well, it's not for me, rather for a coworker. I hope she makes it...she's
brash and beautiful and should be well worth watching <g>. I'm also putting
in an application, but my video won't be as sophisticated.
