Need Help Working on a Video ???

I haven't produced a video in many months, but just thinking about it leads me to what files you can import. That would not have been my first choice. A DVD seems to me the final product that you export.

Have you had an opportunity to look at the website muvipix dot com? They may have some solutions for you.

Would someone please click on that forum link and see if it takes them to the actual forum or to a home page full of ads.

Up until about three days ago, I had been looking at that forum several times a day; then, three days ago, I decided to join up so I could ask some questions.

I went through the usual process of joining a forum group, got my confirmation e-mail, along with a link within the e-mail that would make me a member.

I clicked the link and was welcomed and congratulated for becoming a new member; all seemed fine.

Then, I clicked on "forum" and it took me to a home page; I clicked the forum button on that home page and it just refreshed the home page.

I clicked on the forum bookmark in both FireFox and IE and still went to the home page.

I came back to this site and clicked the link Sepiana had provided and that as well took me to the home page.

This has been going on now for about three days.

Usually, when a site is down for repairs/upgrades, it is back up and running in twelve hours or so.

It seems to me that when I joined it just made it impossible for me to ever see the forums again.


Could the problem be on my side of things ?


Thanks for reading.

Hi

Yes, the link takes me to the forum too. Using Firefox 43.0.3

May I just ask a question re videos?  What is the best, universal file type to have to burn to DVD, please?  I've no real experience for this so I would just burn as MP4 but I'm not sure if that's the best file type.  The disc is going to some people who I don't know and don't know what equipment they will play the DVD on.

Many thanks

Thanks, guys, for checking it out for me.

I could go straight to the forum until I registered; now I can't get there at all.

It appears the problem is on my end; I will delete my cache and see what happens.

Thanks so much.

Thanks BuckSkin
I couldn't follow some of your post but don't worry about it. I'm a total newbie re video editing and I've just installed (yesterday evening) Premiere Elements 12 which I've had for a couple of years and never used. However, I would like to edit some of my video of my parents etc which will then be copied to DVD so that other relatives can see them. Unfortunately, it seems .avi files won't play - just a black screen.

Also, I will be putting a different video, edited by another person for me, on to DVD for someone else and I just wondered what file type might be best. Not everyone can play MP4s, as far as I know, depending on their equipment. I wondered if there was an equivalent file type, a bit like pdf for documents etc

Glad this resolved your issues BuckSkin!

I haven't worked with either program, but I think it's a good bet that Premiere Elements is far more full-featured (with the accompanying steeper learning curve) than the Windows app.
