i tried importing a xvid film into ulead movie factory 3 as i wanted to burn 2 films on one dvd direct from xvid and divx files but it created an error and shut down the program, has anybody here imported avi files in xvid or divx in moviefactory 3 and burnt it as dvd before?

Question:

Does your computer have the actual codec used to create the xvid file?

i dont know because i wasnt the one who origionally made the xvid file. i have installed the latest kazza codec pack on my computer though, i thought that might be all i need?

It might work.

On the other hand, some codec packs can wreck a clean computer system.

According to Microsoft:

"Nimo and Tsunami codec packs are untested compilations of various codecs and filters commonly used on the Internet."

"Incompatibilities are known to exist with some of the components in the packs."

"The incompatibilities can cause serious playback issues in Windows Media Player and other multimedia programs, lead to system corruption, and make it difficult for Microsoft Support to diagnose and troubleshoot playback issues."
