Movie Factory 6 Plus

[Bret469]

I just installed MF6P on my computer running Win XP Media Center 2005.
(Was running Movie Factory 5 previously with no problems)
Seems that when I select an AVI and some WMV files, it will activate on the taskbar "ffdshow video decoder". Once I render the movie and play it back from the newly created DVD, it has color streaks throut the entire movie.
If I get an MPG movie, it works just fine; that "ffdshow video decoder" is not on the task bar and there are no color streak in the movie.

Thanks for a great forum and any assistance you can give.

Does the DVD playback on your Home DVD player correctly?

It plays, but there are colored streaks running from side to side.....that only happens when I render AVI/WMV files in MF6P. MPG files rendered in MF6P play just fine and do not have the color streaks.

I think your file/codec associations are causing a conflict in your windows system. I'm guessing you installed some other video apps (freeware maybe) or codec packs that can do this.
When you load in an avi file that may be encoded in the Xvid codec the MF6 will use what the windows system has registered/related to this codec. Same with Divx, WMV files.
You may need to un-install whatever program installed the ffdshow codec and re-install the windows media encoder and windows media player 9 or 10 (whatever your using).

Thank you very much for your assistance.

Forgive that I didnt reply sooner.....but I ended up re-installing WinXP and that solved the problem....I could use MF6 on my laptop ok, but evidently some files on my PC were messed up. Thanks again, for a great forum.

Bret469, what Steve is referring to is your initial choice of subject: 'Movie Factory 6 Plus', which shows up in the list of topics in the DVD MovieFactory Forum, and which gives other members no indication whatsoever of what your problem is.

Much more helpful to other members (and ultimately to you!) would have been a subject heading like "Colored streaks in MF6 output when 'ffdshow video decoder' activated".
