If I may but in on this thread, is there anywhere to find the most often
need codecs along with instructions on how/where to install them? I find
all different links to different codecs, but I don't really understand
what each is supposed to do and where to file them so that MM finds and
uses whatever is required for a particular application. I guess I've been
luck to be able to capture from my cheapie Panasonic camcorder, edit
,save, burn using Ulead DVD Workshop 2, and end up with DVDs that play
just fine on all familys' DVD players and TVs.

Could be many different things but my first thought would be a bad codec
which is one thing that could cause both problems. Click Tools ->
Options -> [Compatibility] tab
Uncheck all the filters in the list, close and reopen WMM and see if it
works.
You can then add filters one at a time until you discover which one is
bad.
For more info see the Movie Maker -> Trouble Shooting -> Codec problems
section of my website.
