When I make a movie everything is ok but when the screen comes up and says play or explore and then finish usually the file does not play and I have to re render and then it will open.when the movie is long this increases time to finish.Just started doing this.The file is there but it will ask what program to open with , I can also import to time line but can not print it to tape untill I re render.
Thanks for help

When you start the Make Movie wizard, what format are you creating? It sounds like maybe it is creating a format for which you don't have a default player on your PC. If you change any settings at all, this can cause this behavior, especially the print to tape issues you mention.

If your ultimate goal is to print to tape, just make sure you are using the default DV AVI "template" menu choice.

Just to make sure I understand the problem, you render ok but the output doesn't play. You rerender and it does play?
