Movie Wizard Query on AVI vs MPEG

Hi,
I tried the Movie Wizard to create the first pass of my daughter's birthday video. It did a great job and I was then able to go into edit mode and move bits around and add more titles and stills etc...

The only problem is, it automatically makes the Project in MPEG format - I wanted to keep it in DV/AVI format - I can't find any way of making the wizard do this...

Does anyone have any ideas?

The wizard is a great introduction to some of the newer VS capabilities - well worth a visit.

thanks,

Daran.

Which Wizard did you use -- the DV-to-DVD, or the Movie Wizard?

I solved the problem by starting a new project, dropping a DV file from my library (in DV wiescreen format) onto the timeline and letting VS9 ask me if I wanted to change the project properties to match.

Once it's done this, I can then delete that file, and run movie wizard and the movie gets created in the right format.

Hope this is of use to some of you...
