Adam,

Thank you very much for looking into this.

The transitions don't work no matter what duration I select - default,
longer or shorter.

To further compound the problem I discovered the transitions work well when
using the sample videos from Vista, or between the Vista samples and my clips
but never between my clips. BTW, my clips are DV-AVI captured from Canon
Optura XI. As I mentioned before, if I transfer the very same clips to
another machine which runs XP the transitions work fine.

One thing that I noticed is that the XP Media Player reports correctly the
clip properties : video size 720x480, aspect ratio 4:3. Vista Media Player
however, reports video size 640x480, aspect ratio unknown. It makes me think
the DV Video Decoder in Vista is not quite OK.

Any further ideas are more than welcome.

Thanks,
George

BTW: I have the most recent drivers for everything and the most recent
updates on both machines.
