Posts: 1988 		Thanks Emily and GlasgowJim - Emily, those settings you mention are what I already use for everything. What I don't get is how I managed to create the Troggs Tapes, finish it, then move onto a new project with the same equipment, no changes, and only then have trouble. Wierd.

I had a look at the Premiere troubleshooting tips and I can't see any issues there either. It's just Cinepak it seems, everything else is fine. No big deal, MS codec is the same quality and it works fine with Premiere so I'll just go with that. I don't want to start messing with the K-lite codecs just now as I use the Shark007 codecs to ensure parity between my Xp and Vista machines, which I have managed to achieve - and you don't want to upset Vista, trust me!. It's possible that an update to the Shark007 codecs may have upset Cinepak in some way, but I already have a solution so I'll leave it at that. Thanks again!

Didn't work either. Although the MS codec looked okay, on closer inspection it's only 16 bit colour, and looks a bit horrible for my purposes. So I thought, Sod It, that Glasgow Jim fella seems pretty confident in this K-Lite pack thing, so I'll give it a go. Uninstalled Shark007's, installed K-Lite, went back to using Cinepak, and looks excellent again. And Premiere's happy too. Thankyou - should have listened to you in the first place!

Vista can go f**k itself, incidentally. It usually does anyway without any help from me.

To get more codecs onto your computer download the k-lite codec pack from www.free-codecs.com/k_lite_codec_pack_download.htm - you probably want the 'basic' version that's listed at the top of the page. That should install more codecs to your Muvizu.

Enjoy.
