Trying To Accomplish A Simple Task

[nancyd]

I have ULead VS7 and I'm trying to Export a clip to a Web Page or Greeting Card and I'm having no luck.

If I do the following:

1. Select the clip.
2. Click Export Video Clip in the options panel.
3. Select Greeting Card... I get:

"Cannot play the vido file ".MP4". Video player cannot recognize the file".

I'm also not successful with Web page, since it creates a link in a .htm file, but when I click on the link - the video never plays.

...all I'm trying to do is place a clip on a web page so I can send it to friends as a link.

Any ideas?

Try installing quicktime for playing mp4 files. If they don't auto start when you click the link instead of clicking the link right click and select "save target as". You'll then have to navigate to the file on your HD after it's done downloading to play.

If you convert it to WMV it should auto play on any Windows based machine.

Thanks for the suggestion. Does Ulead allow you to convert to WMV format?

Everything I read describes capturing video in this format (a camcorder setting), but doesn't describe what to do if you have an already captured clip.

Technically it should, download the trial and give it try. I'm working strictly with avi, mpeg and wmv so I really have no experience with mp4. Additionally I only have aolder version of VS that I don't use anyway.

Yes

VS 7
Share / create video file / Wmv

Or
Share / create video file / Custom /save as type wmv / options

You could also use the windows media encoder, freeware

Andrew, it worked from the Share menu and I was able to create it in .wmv format.

Thanks a bunch!!
