After I complete a project in videowave, I select "output as" and select DV-avi file format.   When rendering the preview screen is grey and SMART DV is on top of that.  When I watch the file, the video jumps and the audio gets out of sync, AND there are black bars at the top and bottom of the screen, like it is a widescreen version.......the only thing I have recently done is update the computer...anyone know if a windows update can mess up this up.  last week it worked fine....has done the exact same thing on my XP machine.

When you updated, did you get WMP 11 or IE 7?  I believe there are compatibility issues with these and EMC 9... try removing those.

This is a Vista sub-forum - IE7 and WMP11 are the only choices here

Really?  I thought using IE 6 and WMP 10 were an option on vista... touchè microsoft...  my bad, sorry.

Alright, solution numero deux:  What media did you do this production with?  Can you properly burn old productions, or is this file an old production?

new everything, new video, new pictures......new computer...using DVD-R and DVD+R's to burn to, import thru Windows media import from DV Camera  (since capture from DV camera in Roxio doesn't work-it freezes up)

HP,  5200+ dual core, 2G ram, 500G hard drive,

Nice, 500G hard drive... thats 10X what i've got

Anyways, try burning an image (so you don't waste a CD) using other media -- Try using one of the sample videos that Vista provides you with.  

If it works, then there is a problem with your media.  You can try and solve the problematic media by opening it in video wave and then "output as" to a different file type.  Then use that outputted file for burning.

If it doesn't work, post back and we'll see where it goes from there.

Okay, so I selected output as "dv AVI file', did not burn to a disk, but saved as an ISO image......in the preview it skipped 2 of the pictures....re-did the procedure again, appeared to work okay, burned it to a disc, the disc won't play in either of my 2 DVD players or either of my 2 computers.....what do ya think?

Does it play as a DVD in the computer drive (ie, start up etc in Media Player or whatever)?

If it does it could be the media itself - some brands are hopeless and some players are very picky
