Importing Mpeg as background video
I am trying to import an Mpeg file(one of the templates in DVD Workshop) to use as background video in Cool 3D studio but it will not import. It keeps telling me 'File format mismatch'. Anyone know how/if this be done?
Thanks

First, make sure you are loading the file the right way, most often a file mismatch means your trying to load from the wrong place. You mentioned Mpeg which means it's video, so if you're in 3.5 you're out of luck, as it can only import images. If you're in PS, then just click on Project -> Background -> Video
If that's the way you are doing it, and you still get that error, then in my experience, that means it's one of two things:
A) Part of the load program got corrupted - reinstall (this is normally, but not always, notable by the file type in question being removed from the "type" list.)
B) THere is a codec or corruption in the file that is not letting Cool 3D read it as an mpeg. Try recapturing the footage, or rendering it out through a video editor if you have one. (Video Studio is best, just because staying in one production line means you're less likely to encounter conflicts)
Hope that helps
