Andrew,

I have downloaded the encoder. The video is in Movie Maker. How do I run
it through the encoder? I've tried to figure it out but I've given up. I
appreciate all the help you can give me! Thanks, Dee

Thanks Graham. You have been very helpful. I have downloaded Photo Story 3
and I will use that in the future. I was not aware that Movie Maker was for
just video. I did not want to recreate my parents slideshow if I don't have
to because it is quite long and was alot of work. I am renaming the photos
as bmp files and that seems to be making a difference. I'm still having some
problems because I didn't rename all the pictures so I will continue to
rename them and hope for the best. At least I feel like I am getting
somewhere now! I appreciate your help so much, Dee

Graham,

As I stated before, I have 2 videos that are just fine and then this one has
driven me crazy! I am really getting somewhere now. The video has gone
almost to the end. I think one more try and I will have it finished once and
for all. You are awesome!!!!!
