'Nother Movie Maker Question

[Dizzle229]

Kind of embarassing to make this thread so soon after the last one, but here goes. :oops:

 

I just finished making a vid, and in the timeline, it works alright. However, when I publish it, a large amount of the video keeps its audio, but visually, it's just a black screen. Any help?

 

I've tried making it into different file types, different sizes to compress it to, etc, but nothing seems to work.

 

Thanks.

This happens to me too. It is simply an error in Windows Movie Maker. I forgot how I fixed it, but try playing it in WinAmp.

Well, I looked up WinAmp. Can it publish vids? Because this one is for Youtube.

Winamp is another media player and organizer, not a video editing and production software. He was basically telling you to play the video in a different video player then the windows default one.

I've had this problem a few times. Sometimes uninstalling and removing the entire folder and then reinstalling works.

 

Most of the times, I've found reinstalling XVID, DIVX and other visual drivers works as well.

Anyone know where I can find a walkthrough? I'm worried about deleting the wrong thing. To quote the great Gordan Freeman:
