New to VS
Im new to VS, i've been wanting to make a music video with some stuff i've captured. I found a CD for VS5.0 and am using that as of now. When i try to add a video file to my clip board to edit/cut and such it takes a few seconds then i get a "vs.studio.exe has generated arrorsand will be closed by windows..." error message. I cant seem to figure it out. the file type is '*.avi' I was thinking maybe i selected the wrong templte. But even if i did, i wouldnt know what to do. The file is also 1hr40min long. Please help

Please read the initial sticky posts. We need a lot more information than you have provided.
That being said, I am also not sure what you mean by a music DVD. A true music DVD in fact uses little or no video, but uses the otherwise defunct Audio_TS directory on a standard video DVD to store a large quantity of music, with the Video_TS directory remaining largely empty.
Or are you talking about a mixed DVD with music video clips you have ripped from various sources?
The .avi file you mention also raises some immediate suspicions in this context. I suspect it is in fact an mpeg-4 file using the carrier extension .AVI. But again we will need more information on this. Right click on the file in Video Studio and select 'Properties'. Tell us what it says.
A DV/AVI file (from a digital video camera) takes around 13 GB (and that's GB, not MB) for one hour, so a 1 hr 40 minute DV/AVI would be around 21 GB. A non-compressed standard AVI takes 65 GB per hour, so your file, if it was in such a format, would be well over 100 GB. If it is in fact very much smaller that 21 GB, then it is almost undoubtedly an mpeg-4, and the version of Video Studio you are using simply cannot deal with mpeg-4. In fact, I would have to say that, depending on the particular version of mpeg-4 it might be, even the most recent versions of Video Studio may not be able to deal with it either.
As the little robot in the film 'Short Circuit' used to say: "Input! More input!!"
