Hello

the first thing we need to know is what made the original video - what sort of camera - make and type please.

how did the video get from your camera to your computer - what method did you use

what extension does the video file have - what comes after the dot in the file name

Hello my friend,
I fix the problem with the format I just converted it to "mp4" format.
But I'm afariad about that it will stop saving again the project.
How can I fx it my friend?
thank you very much!

[BrianCee]

OK it is good that you have fixed your first problem

but we do not know if it will stop again during rendering - you must try it and see - if it does then please make a note of any error message and let us know what it says.

You cannot damage your original video if it stops - that is safe - so please try to finish your video and see what happens.

Ok I will try to finish that a.s.a.p and reply you my friend.
thank you very much!

That depends on what you are going to do with the final video - are you going to put it on Youtube - or watch it only on your computer - or burn a DVD to watch in a standard DVD player - or what ?

[dealoox]

burn a DVD to watch in a standard DVD player

[Ken Berry]

For a standard DVD, you must use DVD-compatible mpeg-2. So in Video Studio you choose either Share > Create Video File > DVD or else Share > Create Disc > DVD.

My friend,
I want save the project as video and after it I burn dcd with other program.

[BrianCee]

so - do what Ken suggests and make an mpg file by selecting DVD from the video types

why do you want to use another programme to burn the DVD - VideoStudio does a very good job of that

[dealoox]

I don't know in movie maker there are a lot of effects that I do if I burn with it..

[dealoox]

In addition,
can you explain me exactly what Will I press when I want save the project as video?
thanks!

[dealoox]

I also want to save with videostudio as video and not burn because I want one copy of the clip that is saved on my computer?
understand me my friend?

To Create a Video - Click on the "Share" tab at the top of the screen.

a new panel will open - choose "Create Video File" then 'DVD' and continue from there - this will make a video to view on your computer AND that you can burn to disc
