I should have known that! I was trying to make it too hard : )

Thanks again and have a good weekend.

it is a .avi file. I captured it from my video camera to movie maker as
an
avi file. It's only 3 minutes long.

Thanks for the quick reply. I saved the cropped video as an avi file
with
no
sound in VirtualDub. How do I separate the original video file from
the
sound file in movie maker so that I can combine the sound file with the
new
cropped video file? I tried just moving the original video file to the
audio/music line and putting the cropped video with no sound on the
video
line but the sound is messed up then.

Thanks so much for both of your help. You guys have been a lifesaver
today!

Hi Toni,

The Setup Movie Maker > Other Software page of my website has a link
to
get
the free Panasonic DV codec... if you download and install it, you'll
have
another compression option when using VirtualDub...

The sound being messed up in the new clip depends on the audio codecs
used
in the source file, and your selected audio compression option in
VirtualDub... sometimes it's easiest to just use VirtualDub to do the
video
clip, and put the audio and video back together in Movie Maker...

Thanks you so much for this information. I have one more question.
I
downloaded virtual dub and figured out how to crop the picture
following
the
instructions in the newsletter but the sound is messed up in the new
clip
that it creates. Any ideas?

The newsletter said something about loading the "Panasonic DV codec"
I
wasn't sure what that was. Does this have something to do with my
sound
problem?

Thanks again.

I am new to recording and have a question. I recorded a
video that is just a stationary shot of someone talking
for a few minutes. One of the lights I was using is
visible in the shot after I capture it to the computer
(it was not visible on the viewing screen of the video
camera). Is there any way to "crop" a clip? Or is there
any type of effect you can use to eliminate the lights?

Thanks you for any help you can provide.
