Have not resolved this or the Timeline preview, hang/stall
run-on, crash problem.
Did find something the other night which I would like some
feedback about.

Have made sure the system is currently updated with the
latest Soft Stuff. Acceleration seems not to affect the
problems. Sample video downloads from Microsoft work fine
until transitions are added.

Disabled every listed Codec through Properties. Enabled
each singlely until I found that the Microsoft PCM
Converter is the only listed Codec used to allow audio for
MM2.

Disabling every other listed Codec, while PCM is solely
enabled, does not resolve problems in previewing the
timeline. Interestngly, when PCM is disabled previewing
the timeline is possible without any hang, stall, or audio
sputtering run-on problems.

The difficulty now is, in this mode there will be no audio
to see if the audio drops out at transitions where it did
before in a saved DV tape and where the Timeline preview
was also having trouble.

By The Way: There is a comment by someone early on at the
PapaJohn site that indicates there is a problem in this
MICROSOFT PCM converter though not indicating what that is
or how to fix it.

Any One with any ideas?

...I have, thus far, tried most of what is on PapaJohn's
site, conferring here also.

And this may be a separate issue, but I notice the problem
with the Timeline preview, the way it ceases to see the
mouse input to pause when the video stalls while the audio
runs-on intermittent is reminiscent of the ongoing Scroll
bar issue in IE6 and the faulty MSHTML.DLL file. In that
case, the scroll continues despite the mouse, or ESC input
to order a stop, running-on of its own accord.

Thanks for any help.

Anthony.
