VF creates AVI in wrong format.

I've twice tried to get VF to write to tape, but both times the avi file is wrong somehow. It reads OK in Winamp and MediaPlayer, but VidCap25, Scenalyzer and Studio DV all fail to recognise it as a valid avi. Help!?

Cheers

When you render your .avi file, make sure you use the default DV template (either NTSC or PAL depending on where you are), and do NOT change any settings at all. Only a default DV file may be printed to tape with VidCap.

That's it - thank you! I just went with the default options from the write to tape screen, so I'm now wondering what they do if the format isn't compatible?
