Camera video doesn't work in frame after editing

[synlupri]

When I take an avi video on my digital camera’s SD card, and then put that SD card in my digital frame (5.6 Tru Photo Pan Digital) it works fine.
The problem is, I want to edit my video first and get all the garbage out.
So, I edit my video in Windows Movie Maker and save it as a DV-AVI file and save it to my SD card. So the file name becomes movie.avi.

This time when I put the SD card in the digital frame, it says file type not supported.

Can you please tell me what I’m doing wrong? The frame says it supports Motion Jpeg (AVI) files. Is the AVI I created somehow different than the Motion JPEG?

Please Help!

Er, yes - it is a DV avi. AVI is just a container. The actual content is determined by the codec you use. In your case, you need a motion jpeg (mjpeg) codec to compress the edited video.

I don't know of any free mjpeg codecs that can encode, but then I don't do a lot with mjpeg.

mjpeg is not the same as DV-avi. avi come in many flavors as it is a generic term for a video+audio file. search for a program that edits and will save back to motion jpeg. i can't help you there, i don't use that format at all.
