Wojo Thanks.
Yes I have saved movie ok to HD. Did not re-edit afterwards.As advised by
Papa John I did use the "Write these files to CD" facility. All proceeded, as
before, and apparently (told by MM), all OK movie saved to CD. As\before,
when I try to play movie in Media Player my first screen becomes
Green...movie there ok but not distinguishable.Everything is coloured as with
the music effects??? Be Grateful for any advise as to how I can overcome this.
Thanks for guidance on Outlook..Will give it a try
Thanks a lot......Darcy
