When I convert the movie to dvd-avi file then try to open it in Pinnacle's
Studio, Pinnacle cannot open it.

Any suggestings?
Thanks, Bill

Hi Bill,

Pinnacle Studio needs type II DV-AVI files and MM2 makes type I....

See the Setup > Other Software page of my site for links to free conversion
utilities. The conversion process is easy and quick.

PapaJohn,

I downloaded and extracted and installed but I can't find where I select
type II or do the conversion.

Thanks,

You open the little conversion utility... then tell it which file to
convert... the ones saved by MM2 are type I. Which of them did you
download?

Frank,

I was referring you to the links on my site to conversion utilities... there
are 3 of them to pick from... just a little up from the bottom of the Setup
> Other Software page... ones from Canopus, ULead, and Stoik.
