Firstly lets address the saving as a dv-avi file.
Save movie file >
My Computer >
fill in name and location >
show more choices >
Other settings >
open the drop down box and pick dv-avi.
clicking next should start the save process.
The some becomes wmv is a bit of a mystery. MM does sometimes not remember
your settings, so are you 100% sure you did capture it all as dv-avi? The
only thing I can think of is you perhaps clicked through to quick like we
all do sometimes and the wrong option was already selected.
Other possibility is that you have saved some of the movie file as a wmv and
then brought it back in?? MM or anything else, cannot change the file format
on its own.
I think John has answered the saving to dvd question so I won't touch on
that one.
May I suggest though, if you have more questions you list tehm one by one in
new single topics to make it easier for us all to follow.
Together we'll make a movie, I promise :)
