first...what is the avi..EG: 23.97,,,25,,,29.97fps..what template are you using exactly....if you are using the correct template and the avi is not corrupt or broken then more info will be needed...always match the frame rate with the template you use..but your problem may be deeper than my knowledge can handle...try again.

yo thankx 4 help........da template iz 25 and i used the right one.......i followed the guide step by step and im not sure what i am doing wrong......however im not sure if my avi iz corrupt......if i open the file in windows media it plays fine.........but if i right click it then press preview it tells me error driver outdated......could that mean that my video iz corrupt?....thankx 4 taking the time 2 try and help me out

Open it in virtualdub, that should pick up any errors in your avi

yo thankx again 4 the help........now i know this may sound real stupid..........but what do i do with virtualdub after i open it? sorry 4 the stupidity.......lol

this sounds like a codec problem....open the file in virtual dub...then click on file---file information..this should tell you what codec was used for the file...if you dont have it on your computer then you will get strange things happening. I heard about a brand new codec (vids34 or something) but have not got a file like that yet.I also dont know where the codec is for that file type either.

I think everyone in the world has that codec...I'm lost...I hope someone else can help you further...onemore thing..have you tried to save wav. click audio,full processing mode and file,save .wav, this may help a little.
