Next /
Enter a Name and a Save Location /
Next /

Other Settings /
Open the drop window and choose...DV-AVI /

Wait while the movie is saved /

MM2 opens 1 in the collection box, but Ctrl-P is greyed out. I'm
confused with Mpeg 1,2,3,4 I think I know that 4 is for video and one
of the others is for audio. But my files just say MPG...not even Mpeg.
When I right click that 1 file, a menu appears and has "create Clips". I
choose it, but nothing appears.

Ctrl+P will be grayed out unless
you drag at least file to the timeline.

BTW...all .mpg / .mpeg files are
video. You may be thinking about
..mp3.

Have a look at the following article:
